What are the chances the first post about this would be complaining about the name?

 

Anyway, I want screenshots or video or something damnit.

 

On their twitter page it says:

 

Two more interviews today, this time for print media!8:42 AM May 8th

 

I'm guessing we won't find out any real info until mags with exclusive stories are out.

 

I just noticed this on the EM site:

 

"Were in the early development stages for Thief 4, but this is an incredibly ambitious project and a very exciting one. It's too early for us to offer any specific game details, right now we are focused on recruiting the very best talent to join the core team at the studio and help us make, what we believe will be one of the most exciting games on the market."

 

Stephane D'Astous - General Manager

 

So I guess we won't be seeing much of anything for a while.

So it'll end up Thief: Some Subtitle.

Yay?

Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

With Garrett's story arc over, I imagine we'll be playing a new character. I do hope the core gameplay remains unchanged. Overall, I'm curious.

 

But no matter the outcome (this may be a success, or an 'Invisible War'), it will never change the fact that Looking Glass' Thief games are a little slice of heaven.

The thief franchise is too closely associated with Garret. He'll be back. I don't think they care too much about the continuity of the story arc compared with that.

 

Superman came back from the dead remember.

What is this Thief "franchise" you speak of? There was only one Thief game on my Xbox.

Has anybody broken it to them a 4 doesn't look like an E?

 

I'm having 4 Fast 4 Furious flashbacks.

ehhh ....

 

Thief 4.. as in 1, 2, 3, 4..

My point is that nobody will care if Eidos makes any changes to the setting of Thief simply because 50% of their target audience didn't play previous games. Some die-hard fans will protest, but then they will be quickly dubbed whiners who hate for the sake of hating. You know, a bit like what happened to NMA.

Even all these years later the Thief 1 opening title sequence is probably my favorite ever in a game.

At least they could talk about the setting a bit, this is not a good way to introduce a much awaited game.

Yay!

 

I don't really like the naming stuff taking a dive and going back to the 80s, though. For now Thief 4 shall be known as ThiAf for me.

 

Their PR/marketing department must be either dead or staffed with blind monkeys. Was Th4ef taken? What the hell is wrong with Thief 4 or Thief IV?

Rope arrows and/or climbing plz! Preferably both.

Yeah, proper climbing and large rooftop areas, not the odd climbable tile here and there like T3.

The new main character will be named Thiaf!

It's just a project name, those don't mean anything.

 

I hope you're right...

 

But they did make a big glowing logo for it on the http://www.thief4.com site.

 

I'm not saying that the game will suck, but Thi4f sounds like April fool's.
