Thief 4: It's Official
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
I'm glad they're making a sequel to one of my all time favourite series evity evar, but I don't think it's really all that needed.
I thought the 3 games already did everything there is to do in the thief universe, and the third one had a nicely wrapped up ending; I really don't see where they could take this one.
Anyways, I remain optimistic that they will make something decent. If not then taff' 'em all, the bunch of taffing taffers.
edit: Also, I wonder if they will keep Garret and forget the whole 'passing the torch' ending. If Garret is the protagonist, I hope they make it a prequel to the series; I think that would work a whole lot better. Either that, or they should make the girl the protagonist imo.

Hire Jordan "Null" Thomas. He's the creative genius behind the Shalebridge Cradle. Give him free reign over level design. Read here [http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83560&page=2] for where he talks to a bunch of us Thief aficionadoes (including me!) about the mission.
I swear to you, do these two things and I will literally squee with delight.
It's not the lack of suspense that is keeping me from these games, it is the pace of the game. I am mostly used to games like Unreal Tournament 2004, and I'm definitely not a camper. Instead I like to charge amongst my brethren in the front lines, taking the enemy flag, and running - no, flying - towards my base to score one for my team.Frizzle said:
I've tried stealth games, Splinter Cell, Hitman, Chronicles of Riddick, but I ended up trying to kill anyone because I didn't have the patience to slowly study the enemy, hide in dark corners and ambush them. I find these games intriguing, but the gameplay is just not laid out for me. Yet I'll probably try again anyway in Thief 4. Perhaps I can Rambo the game.
WHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOsicles, WHOOcopter, WHOOshake, WHOOmbulance, WHOOcoaster.

I've had the Thief 4 thread bookmarked for such an eventuality, I can't wait for the return of Garrett. He's one of my favorite video game characters. Seriously, combine him and Three Dog in a game and I will do ANYTHING to get that game. As is I will only do almost anything for Thief 4.

I've just recently started playing thief 3, and have found it quite a good game so this is excellent news.
Huh, so it does. Still, was a lot easier for me to just get it through Steam, think I might have struggled to find a mac version these days.Moriarty said:
I wonder what Yahtzee will think of it.
I like stealth, but few games have really done it for me. Hitman 4 was one of the few I really loved (once I figured out how) and got me more into stealth (up until then the aspect interested me more)
and then I got into Splinter Cell a bit. Someone actually reccomended me Thief cause of me prattling on about Morrowind (again) but I never actually tried it. If it is on the 360, I will probably get it. Though Yahtzee's inevitable review I may count on more than I usually do.

I hope it will be available for consoles as well as computers. *frets* But Garret is back, I hope they have the same voice actor. Actually, I hope the guard voice actors are back as well, they were a riot. I can't wait!
