At this point, we gamers should have learned that resurrecting an old beloved title, is never a good thing for its fans. Seriously every single reboot/revamp of an older title will piss off its fans because it is simply a new game made by a new team of developers. It will not feel like the old game you love, it can't really.
Best you can hope for is a solid game in its own right, and try to forget the title of it.

I can adjust and accept that once Keepers are gone, the power groups in City have changed and it became "City of Chains", whatever that means. I can accept that Hammerites never recovered after Karras' schism and Pagans weren't that well organized once Viktoria was gone to provide any significant resistance/influence to that change. I can even accept that that old master who was making rope arrows had died (it was my head!canon for "Thief 3" absence of rope arrows) and his apprentice makes things in a different way, so we have a grapple gun.
But why Garrett has to hide his face? He isn't a ninja, he is a thief! If no-kill, ghost approach was pretty much the canon, personality-wise, he doesn't even have to hide his face because nobody saw him and his most distinguished feature, the artificial eye still visible. It just doesn't make much sense :/
As for screenshots about the killing... "Thief 1" and "Thief 2" trailers had some killing in them as well, so I'm hoping it is a just a marketing ploy like it was, not a change of approach.

Uh oh. I better hurry and play the original Thief games so I can find out how they're gonna screw up the reboot.
....
I'm sorry, that was cynical. This game's definitely on my radar. Here's hoping it does its legacy proud.
But for real, I'm gonna go play Thief now.

Well, there was a lot of negativity surrounding Human Revolution before it leaked and people actually played it. I'm confident in Eidos Montreal and I'd reserve judgement until there's at least some footage.
What I hope for is complex level design, aware AI that keeps you on your toes constantly, varied difficulty levels that demand more and more of you as they're increased (even not to knock out anyone or be seen at all, steal everything and do special mission/level-specific things) and a tight stream of gold and supplies, so you have to make tough choices about your load-out and playstyle.
Dishonored had great art, setting, story, presentation, but it lacked elements like that and ultimately it was quite weak and forgettable as a stealth game. Thief 4 cannot be like it.

Well Garrett has always been a bit odd... just saying it wouldn't surprise me all that much if he was into that sorta stuff, strictly in private of course. I mean the closest thing he's had to a girlfriend in ages was technically a tree... And then there was the whole thing with his eye and her tying him up...synobal said:I'm kinda curious why is he wearing a man corset. I guess perhaps you'd call it a girdle? Also where are his pouches a thief needs to have pouches to ya know put the stuff he steals in. All I see is lots of leather straps, it looks like he's going to a BSDM shoot rather than going to steal shit.The Madman said:Incidentally, here's another picture of Garrett's new appearance:
And for contrast sake, here's a picture of his original appearance:
I'll take it for what it is, honestly, a reboot, and reboot's are made to appeal to a certain kind of audience. Even if they screw it up DmC style it still won't be franchise ruining for me, I don't think.
Can't say I'm not excited to play it and see what it's about, anyway.

It's actually hard to tell. They're calling it a 'reboot' but then Garrett looks like he has his mechanical eye from Thief 2, it also says he's 'returning after a long absence' so that could also explain why things in the City might be different from before.Vault101 said:
Dunno, just going to have to wait for more information to be released.
In the Thief games turning up the difficulty not only made Garrett easier to kill, but also gave new objectives for every mission. For example on Normal difficulty your objectives might be 'Steal the ____ and 500 gold worth of loot', but on hard might be 'Steal ____, also ____, and 800 loot, can't kill innocents', and the highest difficulty was almost always 'Steal ____, also ____, 1000 loot, can't kill anyone at all'.piinyouri said:
Of course the Thief community took it a step farther by adding the unofficial 'ghosting' difficulty where not only could you not kill, but you couldn't knock out anyone or even be seen.
I want to point out the fact that if they want to replace the e with a letter it should be 3 in "1337" speak. But since this will be a fourth game, you can't put Thi3f. I don't understand why can't they use either a title if it's going to be a reboot. Or Thief 4, whatever works for me.
I, personally, can't wait for the game and looking forward to see how this game develops with gameplay vids and more information about it until it finally releases.
