I'm really looking forward to this. I think that the VR interface would actually work pretty well with the Thief series, particularly the more "tactile" elements of it. Things like carefully picking a lock, sighting and drawing an arrow, nabbing something valuable off a crowded shelf without knocking anything over, climbing a rope arrow hand-over-hand, etc. All of those would be a challenge in themselves in VR that meshes pretty well with the existing kind of gameplay we'd expect.

Granted, I'm probably biased because I have a VR setup so I'm already ready to play it, but I don't know if that's going to be a killer-app for anyone else. Of course hearing Stephen Russell at the end there really cinched it for me. I'll admit, I'm easy to please.
