I'm sure you can play it as slow as you like. For demo purposes, I think they just wanted to show alot, quickly...

Demonstrations are always fast-paced and easy, because the difficulty level is usually set to low (or the dev is using God-mode) and the dev probably played the exact sequence dozens of times. So he's just going through the motions like a player on speed would.

That should really be common sense, guess for some people it isn't!

Personally I feel that true stealth involves you getting up close and personal, this is the epitome of a stealth master.
Splinter Cell made it too easy to attack from a distance with almost no penalties, whereas those other games you mention require absolute accuracy to succeed at ranged combat.

It was common sense for me, but the way they talked about the game seemed more like they'd just gotten rid of the stealth features and just leaving some stealth oriented moves in the game, like climbing on rails and such. I just got that impression from what they were saying. |
Ok fair enough, but if that was really common sense for you why did you come on this forum looking for reassurances that the stealth gameplay was intact?
You could have come to the conclusion yourself that the nature of game promotion is fast and furious so the gameplay videos are probably not representative of any stealth aspects in the game.
Have faith in yourself Yondaime, you know the score!

Ok, just to take this thread a littttttle bit further off-topic; give me three good reasons why Thief 3 is inferior to 1 or 2.
Go!

More linear levels, lack of capacity to actually have a highly enjoyable sword fight if you get caught, less consistency in the quality of the levels (at least in comparison to Thief 2).

Well talking to dead people is a bit strange ( ) but ok:
To be honest, consolization in itself is enough of a reason to make DS inferior to Thief 1 & 2.
*Smaller and less complicated levels (and thus less alternative paths, options for the player) - Everyone always remembers to mention the Cradle, and while it was a great level, one level can't redeem a whole game. Level design overall was less inspired, and consolization can be blamed only partly.
*loading screens mid-level - not only did the PC players have to suffer from the other bullshit that comes with consolization, we were also forced to deal with the arbitrary Xbox hardware limitations, even though the PCs at the time would've so easily handled the levels. Of course this is more of a standard industry approach these days, but fuck that was so annoying to realize back then.
*more streamlined, action-based approach - the devs have admitted this themselves, you can google for interviews and such. Yeah you can still stealth and do the levels with the classic non-violence approach, but if they would've had their eyes on making a pure stealth game, I bet there would've been more options for stealth-based approach.
*Little things, like the loss of rope arrows and the crappy lockpicking minigame.
There were a lot of these small annoyances, but it's been a while since I last played DS.. Need to replay it so I can whine some more.
And don't get me wrong, DS is still a decent/good game overall, but not a classic like the earlier games.

He started it!
Anyway, back on-topic: I hope you can still complete levels with pure stealth - shooters are dime a dozen but good stealth/sneaking games are very rare.
