After seeing Thief Remastered, I'm calling it: That doomed Deux Ex remaster should get rebooted with Nightdive in charge

It's a tale of two immersive sim remasters: Over the weekend, we shared the first trailer for Nightdive's take on Thief: The Dark Project in the PC Gaming Show, and the vibes couldn't be better. Nightdive has already shown a strong grasp of Looking Glass' Dark Engine and visual style in the System Shock 2 remaster.

The screenshots and trailer are extremely promising, showing a "how you remember it" treatment of Thief, lightly touching up its timeless medieval environments while overhauling its infamously low-poly, origami-looking NPCs. There's also the promise of Nightdive's customary DVD extras menu of art, preserved prototypes, and development footage.
