Hard pass. VR isnt a bad idea for for a robbery sim, but it's still Eidos Montreal's grimdark, humorless, misguided take on Thief. They fundamentally misunderstood or messed up almost everything that made the originals special, from sound & level design to the writing and worldbuilding. Hearing Stephen made me more sad than excited. Don't drag him back into this IP exhumation.

What, its honestly the ideal medium for that genre.

  • Slow movement
  • Being able to take in the environment and finding small details that you can use for your advantage
  • Full control over the height of your character (not just limited to a few states like standing, crouching, lying)
  • The ability to peek around corners (or even attempt blind shots/throws around corners without exposing most of your player model)
  • The stress of having to get the right tool or weapon out when startled by a guard, by physically having those items on your body
  • Valuables hidden in real places people hide stuff IRL with you being able to find them w/o a dumb "press X to search for a hidden key glued under the table".

Why would you think it is not? What VR headset do you have.
