Thief will have contextual aids on a HUD as well as a Focus feature that puts things in slow motion, but for old school Thief players, there is a Classic Mode that will make the game more of a challenge.
According to lead level designer Daniel Windfeld Schmidt, turning on the classic mode will disable elements on the heads-up display and reduce Garrett’s special abilities, removing the slo-mo Focus mode.
Schmidt also added there will be an in-game recorder and social network features, allowing gamers to share their experience with the world.
