Square Enix and Eidos-Montréal have released the second trailer in a series of videos that focus on the narrative and characters of Thief’s corrupt and broken city.
Nobody knows how old the Queen of the Beggars actually is; rumor has it she’s as old as The City itself. Some say that although she is blind – she sees through the eyes of the rats that riddle the city streets. Despite being on the lowest layer of society, the Queen of the Beggars operates the beggar’s court with more respect, diplomacy and wisdom, than many of the people with real positions of power in the City. She is a wise, some say all knowing character whose words, beliefs and judgements should be revered.
Thief is due for release on February 25th on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC.
Rockstar Games announced that Capture – the newest addition to the collection of team-based modes in Grand Theft Auto Online – will go live today as part of the latest free automatic update on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. With 20 new Jobs across four modes, this GTA twist on classic capture the flag style confrontations brings a whole new level of adversarial action to the world of Los Santos and Blaine County. These new Jobs will be accessible in Freemode and are spread across the four different modes described below.
Raid
In Raid, you’ll have to fight your way into your opponents’ base and steal a package, then deliver it back to your base to score points. Reach the target score, or deliver more packages than your opponents do in the allotted time to win the match.
Hold
When playing Hold, teams must collect and store as many packages as possible in their base. Packages can either be found on the map, or stolen from the opposing team’s bases. Reach the target score, or hold the most packages when the time runs out, to win.
GTA
As the ubiquitous acronym might suggest, GTA mode tasks players with stealing target vehicles located all around the map, before bringing them back to their respective bases. Each team must fight to steal more vehicles in the allotted time than their opponents.
Contend
In Contend, there’s only one package, situated in the middle of the map. Teams must fight to bring this package back to their respective bases, and once the package is captured it respawns in the middle of the map and is up for grabs again.
Capture will be available today as part of an automatic update for GTA Online, which also includes a host of fixes and tuning updates.
