Thief designer thinks the graphics arms race should have ended with 2010's Alan Wake: 'The fidelity curve has become outrageous'

Specifically, he reckons the race should have stopped 16 years ago with Remedy's original Alan Wake, which was quite a looker back in the day.

I remember it was back when Alan Wake came out that I was like, 'OK, this is relatively photoreal.

"I think Alan Wake is the fidelity everything needs to hit," Smith Evergreen says.

I used to say that when I played Dishonored, that was the first time I ever played a Thief game.

But I feel like enough time has passed since I played Thief: The Dark Project that playing a remaster will probably feel very fresh for me.
