Thief IV

T3 was, IMO, a very good game. Not up to par with
T1/2, but still very good.

By today's standards, yes, it was a very good game. But when compared to the first and second game, it was an utter disappointment.
 
Gameplay standards have dropped a long way since Thief 1/2, we've been plagued by multiplatform titles and the sad thing is we're getting used to this. My attitude towards modern games, especially sequels of previous PC exclusive titles is basically it's going to be at best a flimsy multiplatform game with a few good qualities, for the most part this is the best we can expect, if we see something fantastic then great but I certainly wont hold my breath.
 
hmmmph. Its gonna suck, we just don't want to say it, its different times now, I don't like being the "eternal Pessimist" but I think we all know the truth in the back of our minds.

Prove me wrong Eidos.

Damn you! It's the unwritten rule. Once you say it it comes to pass, you have doomed us all!
 
Not sure why there is so much hate on Thief 3. They tried to add some new stuff and it delivered well. Its better then having the same recycled games over and over. Shit when RE4 came out it was praised. No Thief3 love around here. Hopefully 4 adds even more. I cannot wait.
 
So I missed the Thief games back in the day somehow and would like to play them now. Have they aged well enough that someone who doesn't have any nostalgia can enjoy them as much for the first time now as then? Aside from the graphics, of course. I'm assuming they run fine on XP..?

No, no hate on Thief 3. It was a great game, no doubt. But the problem is that it was part of a trilogy. Thief 1/2 were known as two of the greatest games of all time, and Thief 3, while a good game, did not live up to the other two. Remember, it has a rep to fill. Put on top of that the time and development muscle they had, and it's evident why it is considered a disappointment compared to the other two.

I wish you were wrong and we'd get the thinking man's thief back but in the era where button mashing reigns supreme I don't think that'll happen.

It's utterly impossible for any company to live up to the standards set by Looking Glass. May they rest in peace. :(

:(:(:(

Truer words could not have been spoken. The only one that could possibly come close was Ion Storm, the original one behind the first Deus Ex, not the one that put out that Deus Ex: Invisible War garbage.
 
The fact that it's officially named "The4f" does not sit well with me. Are they going to give Garret some trendy new l33t makeover?

It's not officially named Thi4f, though.
The press release has the name written out as "Thief 4". The only place I have seen "Thi4f" is on the website, and that's just a splash image.

Still, it does make me wonder what the hell they were thinking. Thief may be considered many things; l33t isn't and should be one of them.

Too bad we have virtually no information about the game otherwise I wouldn't be so focused on just the name, official or otherwise.
