Thief 2: The Metal Age is a wonderful game, but it’s also looking a little long in the tooth these days. Luckily the team behind The Thief 2 Texture Mod thinks the same, which is why they’ve given the stealth action game a brand new lick of paint.
The mod is out this week on August 8, and you can find it over at Moddb.com.
Never ceases to amaze me how much work people put into things like this for no remuneration. There’s not a huge amount of information on the technicalities, but the team list the following major changes:
-
added HD textures for all original missions
-
added new vegetation
-
added new water and lava textures
-
added new fire flames
-
added new Ape-Beast HD skin
-
added Zombie HD skin
-
added new skies
You know, it’s been so long since I played Thief 2 I’d totally forgotten there were ‘Ape-Beasts’ in it. Maybe it’s time for another run. I’ve added a few screenshots in this post, but there’s a whole bunch more over on the mod’s featured page.
