@metaltao Yeah, for me the issue wasn't that something was changed but that nothing really filled the void. I thought that Kid Icarus: Uprising worked as a great series reboot because even though it changed series fundamentals (action-platformer to rail-shooter/third-person 3D action game) it maintained that sense of adventure and imaginative personality that the original (and its lesser known sequel) carried in spite of their differences. It knows that even though much wasn't conveyed through the text of the previous instalments, tonally they sat on a dividing point of clever humour and surrealism, and Uprising conveys this same atmosphere through its text, established in an endearing meta-rapport between its characters throughout the game that fit in without coming off as indulgent. http://i.imgur.com/Vuxtaed.jpg This is the kind of development process I feel Thief lacked, in that it largely ignored the context of the original games and then failed to establish its own.
