Derrik Draven Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 http://www.gamespot.com/news/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=26331688&sid=6188958&om_act=convert&om_clk=newstop&tag=newstop;title;6 The Thief series is damn near my favorite FPSneakers of all time! :rock Even liked the 3rd one, although I'd have to say it was the weakest link of the 3, not withstanding the awesome "Shalebridge Cradle" level. :tu Anyhoo...it's certainly just in the speculation/rumor camp but, I would REALLY love to see another Thief game! With the tech specs of all the machines today, and with proper dev time, they could finally do the living city idea without it being so hampered like it was on the original Xbox. Fingers are crossed.

Cyberwoo Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 The first 2 Thief games were freakin awesome. Very fond memories playing through those games on my PC. If they stay faithfull to the series I would love to play through another Thief game. I played Thief 3 briefly on Xbox and it didn't do much for me. Was way inferior to the first 2 PC games.

King of All Cosmos Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 The first two Thief games are my two favorite games ever. Want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magness Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I'd love a new Thief game too... The first 2 on PC were awesome and I'll even say that after it was patched and playable, Thief 3 was a pretty good game overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covak Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I just installed Theif 2. I can't remember why, but I barely played it when it came out. And when I tried to play it way later it was just a crashy mess on whatever PC I had at the time. It's working now, though I'm a bit surprised by how fantastic it still is If I actually get through it this time I look forward to checking out Thief 2X or Thief 3 afterwards.

Cyberwoo Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Aww I was hoping for Thief 4 news. Oh well. Glad you are enjoying Thief 2. Better late than never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 My only beef with Thief 2 is the very final mission which I find to be ludicrously difficult in comparison to the other levels, to the point of unreasonable. But ymmv, naturally. I even enjoyed Thief Deadly Shadows, although that was really despite itself, since the idiotic engine they used was sluggish and generally ass the whole way through and eliminated the rope arrows, which no amount of climbing gloves could hope to match.

Magness Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Dammit... I can't take this back and forth on a new Thief game~! You're tearing me apart?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covak Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 http://www.thedarkmod.com/ Nice-looking fan-made Thief game using the Doom 3 engine in the works (they're guessing 1.0 this Fall). There's a demo mission available. I hope it's as good as it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrik Draven Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I've been a member of http://www.ttlg.com/ for many years. It's amazing how much a bunch of talented fans can do, to keep a game alive, that's from long defunct company! The last "mod" I played was the exemplary "Shadows of the Metal Age", that was completely fan driven. Music, voice overs, cutscenes, levels...all of it a work of love for Thief, and it's steampunk atmosphere. It was a complete game, and very well done!

Derrik Draven Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Nothing but great news....that's not officially announced yet! :tu Can't wait, really. I remember that there was info that this new game "might" be set in the modern time, instead of the insanely cool steam punk atmosphere that Looking Glass, and Ion Storm had made. Hopefully, that's a load of crap!!! I'd much rather play it in the pseudo-past that it's in but, that's just my opinion. Anyhoo, hopefully it's all good news when the official announcement is made!

Mark E Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Dear god that looks great. First next-gen anything to get me excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldDarth Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 WOW! This could be fantastic - if they remember the heritage from the previous games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of All Cosmos Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I hope the screenshot showing our protagonist on the rope means rope arrows are back. The climbing gloves in Deadly Shadows weren't a worthy replacement. I'd love to see this sell well enough to prompt interest in giving an HD upgrade to the first two games in the series.

Derrik Draven Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 This is a big one for me. Been a Thief fan since the very 1st one came out. Was given to me as an Xmas gift that year and, I fell in love with the world LGS came up with. Enjoyed Thief 2, and thought the 3rd installment was mostly good, especially one of the best levels in any game; The Shalebridge Cradle. Every now an then, over the past several years, I've visited the Thief 4 forums and read through the banter. Damn!! There's some SERIOUSLY pissy gamers when it comes to this series. I love the series, and hope like hell Ubi doesn't fuck it up but, damn...if I were a dev, the forum whiners would piss me off. This preview info seem pretty damn solid. I very much hope they get Stephen Russell to voice Garrett!!! I was watching some vids last night on YouTube, just watching Thief gameplay over the years, and was just blown away by the sounds. The ambient music, the mostly great voice acting, and the overall flavor the audio gives to the games, and it made me realize that, even apart for having some nice, new, killer graphics to look at, I REALLY hope that Ubi preserves many of the sounds of Thief. I hope their sound engineers realize how important sound is. Glad that it's supposedly going to look more like Dishonored than Deus Ex. imho, DE looked like shit... Looking forward to this, big time! Sucks that's it's still over a year away..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
