Change title to Thieft (2014 video game)

Does someone know how to change the title? It would be much more useful to distinguish it from others in the series and disambiguation page — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.98.10.145 (talk) 18:59, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Almost all articles in the refs are missing actual dates

They only have the worthless "Retrieved" dates. --Niemti (talk) 20:33, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So fix it? Яehevkor ✉ 22:14, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Xbox one

Xbox one has NOT Been confirmed for this game. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.211.194.205 (talk) 22:14, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it has, from the official twitter account. --Sxerks (talk) 23:12, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Stealth, not a FPS

Well, go right ahead. --Soetermans. T / C 15:31, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're the one who removed it, the burden is on you, but I'll explain it for you anyway. The game is in "first person perspective", and since there is no first person stealth category, you use both to describe it's genre. It is not required that guns are involved, any ranged weapon can be used to describe it.--Sxerks (talk) 17:55, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, it isn't. "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and is satisfied by providing a reliable source that directly supports the material". I removed it, you restored it. I'm still asking for a valid source, and not your own conclusions.

Thief might be played from a first-person perspective (you can link to First-person (video games) in the article body if necessary), Garrett might shoot some arrows now and then, but isn't part of its core gameplay, and shooting "any ranged weapon" from a first-person view doesn't make it a first-person shooter. Dishonored, heavily influenced by the Thief series, is played from a first-person perspective also, and not a shooter. Even the Hitman series can be played as first-person shooters if desired, but still, not its core gameplay.

But don't let my own visions on games be of any influence here. If you can spot an article by, I don't know, IGN, GameSpot, Polygon, that actually calls it a first-person shooter, go right ahead and add it as a genre. --Soetermans. T / C 19:28, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Carrott?

Browsing the article to get some factoids, and noticed someone had changed 9 occurances of the name "Garrett" with "Carrott" and no one had changed them. The sources at the bottom of the page were even marked as broken links in one or two cases because within the link someone changed the name to "Carrott." Anyone know why? 199.182.188.162 (talk) 14:42, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Plot or Synopsis

The plot section should be renamed synopsis as it's not a true presentation of the plot itself - or be severely expanded upon. 99.46.209.18 (talk) 22:56, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mantle

How come the article does not mention, that Thief supports Mantle? Or TrueAudio? User:ScotXW^t@lk 07:24, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Open world

Could this game be classified as open world?ECW28 (talk) 01:03, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No. The game comprises of individual missions, as explained in the article. Indrek (talk) 13:42, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
