Here is a link to the preview. Nothing much except for something I thought was kinda funny. In the preview it mentions that Spector told the gamespot crew that if you can get a headshot on a gaurd.....with a moss arrow.......their mouth fills with moss and muffles their screams.

Here is the quote:

"Spector told us one of the game's programmers snuck in an additional effect involving the moss arrows that will come in handy if you've roused a guard. Specifically, if you manage to fire at his head, his mouth will be filled with moss, and his muffled cries won't be loud enough to alert his allies."

Oh, and this is new since thief 1 and 2:

"Even if the darkness is absolute, you won't be completely invisible to enemies--they'll still notice some hint of movement and investigate the disturbance if you walk in front of them--but it sure helps."

Its true that in the first games that if you walk in front of a guard he will notice you but if you were in total darkness, moving on carpet, they would not detect you at all, this statement claims otherwise.

Yeah, I just been reading that preview, and came here to post the link.:D

Anyway, it's another good read...indeed, the moss-mouth was a "highlight", hehe.

The interview also mentiones force-feedback for the XBox.
Now I wonder, if the PC-version will support FF too...and will you be able to configure a joystick, instead of a mouse?

I have a Microsoft Sidewinder ForceFeedback2.
