Something tells me they're 'out of touch' with gamers.

Something tells me they're out of touch with number-to-letter substitution. 5M I RIGHT?

Are you ****ing kidding me? Who told you they were terrible? The first two are down-right amazing and still some of (if not the) best stealth games out there.
The third one is decent as well.

Currently replaying Thief right now. Obviously 11 years have done some to age it, and the way it handles stealth is no longer revolutionary (as much of its design has been copied) but it's still one of the best games from the '90s and the aesthetic and sense of tension is awesome. Also, this game does foreshadowing like no other.
Thief 2 is also pretty awesome. Thief 3...not as much (a lot of design decisions were made to cater to the Xbox, such as much smaller levels and - bizarrely - instant death upon contact with a body of water), though it's still good fun.

While I have my fears about the title, there is no way in hell they're removing first person. The residents of ttlg.com would go to their HQ and burn it down.
More likely it'll have a "third person option" ala Thief 3, to appeal to those people who can't stop thinking of Thief as "that game like Splinter Cell."

I expect this to be a pretty good title. I really liked the previous few. Keep up the great work =)

I can see a 3 replacing an E, but a 4? That looks nothing like an E... That's just stupid. Then again, replacing letters with numbers in general is stupid...

I doubt it would stay that way for the retail release, but I've seen weirder things.

Please no zombies in this one.
Please.
I really loved all the other Thief games until goddamn zombies appeared.

Thief is one of the greatest gaming series of all time. And in my opinion it is the epitome of stealth action games. I have waited soo many years since Thief Deadly Shadows, and it is about damn time. This is a day one purchase for me and I cannot wait, even though I have to.

I'm actually really looking forward to this one.
With AC1 & AC2 out now, I'm pretty sure they'll be looking at both of those to get some ideas as to their own gameplay mechanics.
AC1 & 2 don't have many stealth elements so I can see Thief 4 trying to capitalize on that aspect.
Just don't fuck it up eidos ....

I hope they look back at the Dark Project and Metal Age for Garretts personality more than Deadly Shadows. DS was a fine game but it felt like a fangame most of the time with Garretts "cooler" personality.
Wonder who the'll put Garret up against though. Pagans lost both Constantine/The Trickster and Victoria, Hammerites got split up by the Mechanists and the Keepers lost their runes. Coin lords and City officials seems like the only ones left and they are not that big of a threat at any time in the previous games.

Bring back the oil-painting style cutscenes! With live actors in shadow! ^^
