In a “Take 5″ Community Q&A, Eidos Montreal declared that the highly dreaded QTEs have been completely removed.. After being asked how QTEs were being implemented in a way that wouldn’t break immersion, they responded with:
“Oh, I want to answer that one! I was hoping someone would ask. Easy, we’re not implementing them.”
Thief has never looked all too promising but hopefully the removal of these superficial QTE will, at the very least, calm the nerves of some of the outraged fans of the classic Thief games.
Thief releases February 25 2014 in North America and Feb 28 in Europe.
