New Thief game?

[PiCroft]

Standard disclaimers: I know its only a rumour based on a pretty flimsy bit of evidence but still:

assuming this is remotely possible - well lets just say the prospect of another thief is causing a tent in my pants.

Fingers crossed. The Thief games are awesome.

Here's hoping it sticks to the first-person formula of the first two.

And my personal wish - include remakes of the first two games using a newer engine, as I have both but can't run them on my PC anymore. Also, I never managed to finish either. *hides*

I don't think there are enough Yhatzee sheep for it to be a success.

TMI, PiCroft.

Anyway, who knows 'till we're getting banners on the side of the Escapist?

 

[PiCroft]

I am praying - praying - that if it comes out, its as a PC exclusive.

I don't know why, but I noticed the third game was not a PC exclusive and it was kinda crappy in comparison to the others.

Normally I'm an open-minded gamer, but this is just too damn precious to screw up.

I don't think there are enough Yhatzee sheep for it to be a success.

They were pretty popular before Yahtzee ever did his retrospective review.

Know why? Because they were actually good games. That Yahtzee just so happened to like.

As far as the topic goes all signs point to, "Yes". They were talking about Thief 4 since Ion Storm collapsed. Now that they're bringing Deus Ex back they probably figure they might as well go ahead and move forward with Thief 4...

As to whether this would be a good thing? Ehhhh...perhaps they learned their lesson with the lackluster sales of Deadly Shadows.

If they bring back the sprawling levels and do away with the more linear missions DS had, it would be a good step.

I'm pretty sure that there was some sort of announcement a few months ago where they said something to the effect of "we're resurrecting an old series - I'm not going to say which one, but it starts with a T." I'm pretty sure there's a new Thief game coming out.

Here's hoping it sticks to the first-person formula of the first two.

You're welcome. [http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=75031]

BTW I'm determined to not be an NMA fantard and rip on the game because it isn't a direct copy and paste of one of the first two games before its even released.

If its going to be released of course.

If it is, indeed, another Thief game then I dearly hope that they don't mess it up. Too many times I have been offered brilliant gaming experiences only to discover than they promised more than they would deliver.

If you're having trouble running the old Thief games, take a look here: http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75031

If that thread doesn't help with the technical problems, post on the ttlg forums and I'm sure someone will know a work-around.

 

[retro himself]

Nah. Just a wild guess though.

I know this is note the genre wars forum but this ispossibly the secret weapon we ninjas are planning to deploy to comvert people to our ways.

I hope it's true, it would be awesome

The Deadly Shadows was terribly underrated. It's a very good game.
Yeah, they should make a sequel.

I doubt it...

The dream is over. Garret is dead. He will return to save Britain in it's darknes ho- wait.
