Hell Kitty Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) 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. From Ren Edited May 11, 2009 by Hell Kitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amentep Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 So it'll end up Thief: Some Subtitle. Thief: Thi4f I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowtrain Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 If it doesn't have Hammerites I will be a sad panda. 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.

Maria Caliban Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Ye shall not rob from the house I have built. Or commit any theft or unrighteousness, lest ye be struck down and driven into the earth forthwith, and the land of the heathen consume you. --The Book of Stone "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastpunk Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 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.

Gorgon Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 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. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER.

H Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 The thief franchise is too closely associated with Garret. He'll be back.

Morgoth Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I wouldn't mind a remake of Thief Gold, if continuity is a problem. Either way, Garret must be back. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 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.

Slowtrain Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Even all these years later the Thief 1 opening title sequence is probably my favorite ever in a game.

Wrath of Dagon Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 At least they could talk about the setting a bit, this is not a good way to introduce a much awaited game.

Purkake Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) 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?

Slowtrain Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Rope arrows and/or climbing plz! Preferably both. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names.

Gorgon Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Yeah, proper climbing and large rooftop areas, not the odd climbable tile here and there like T3. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amentep Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 The new main character will be named Thiaf! I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that?

Purkake Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 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.
