First Public Look at Thief 4 Coming in March
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
I still find it amusing that Eidos refused to call the third Thief game "Thief 3" because they didn't want to confuse newcomers to the series... then they go ahead and call the fourth game "Thi4f".
Anyway. I'm not as optimistic about this as some others may be... unless Eric Brosius is heading the whole thing up, in which case I will have to invest in Q-tips for the inevitable eargasms.

Yes and it was the worst one... now let's never speak of it again.Onyx Oblivion said:Already. Did.Radoh said:
People who use numbers in words, or any other form of "chatspeak," instantly fall off my radar. If you can't be bothered to speak basic English, chances are you're just not worth the time. Same goes for games.
Oh Gods yes! Been wait for this one for a long while& soon it will all pay off // Thief was one of the best game series I ever played& I do hope this one does now let is down

It's pretty clear that the Deadly Shadows title had the opposite effect of what was intended: confusion was never an issue with anyone, while the existing, die-hard Thief community felt a little alienated by such obvious pandering. It also sounded stupid. The Dark Project and The Metal Age are great titles. Deadly Shadows? Yeesh...The Rogue Wolf said:
I also think there's a very good chance that Eidos recognizes where things went wrong (with Deus Ex too) and are taking serious steps to correct those issues and put things back on track, including with the Thief 4 title. For as far as it goes, I think it's a great strategy; instead of distancing the game from past Thief titles so nobody feels left out, they appear to be embracing it and counting on the shit-losing reactions of those of us who've played and loved the past games to draw people in.
So much grief over the 4 in the title.
Yes, they are probably aware that a "4" is equivalent to an "A" in leet speak. No, I don't think they did that to pander to the kiddie, backward hat wearing tards out there. Thief used secret glyphs and whatnot in the game, so someone thought it might be cool to put a 4 in the middle to make it look like a "code" or the 4 is hidden in the word or something. If the Dues Ex trailers are any indication, I'm pretty sure the Eidos team will not cock-up Thief too badly. The guy who thought the title up probably cries himself to sleep every night because of all your teasing and you should all be ashamed. Tisk . Tisk.

Loved the games but I'm not sure I see how the story is going to work. Thief 3 appeared to bring everything to a close, unless they're jetissoning Garret and new factions are appearing on the scene. I fear a clunky new addition.

I don't care what the name is. Thief is returning! And it's hopefully, you know, not shit. Deadly Shadows wasn't that great, so hopefully they'll make a return to the classic gameplay.
The good thing is that the current market has pretty much forgotten about it, so they're making this game BECAUSE they wanted to, not so they could cash in on a license. But I don't know, will it be the same without Looking Glass?
I played the original one after the nostalgic ZP and worked my way up through the series. I hope Yahtzee likes it.
