Kind of old news, but Thief 4 is underway. Before the speculation that Eidos was working on the next installment, nobody believed that the series would ever have another installment.
Thief has been one of my favorite games since The Dark Project and I'm happy that the series hasn't died yet. Maybe the Jedi Knight series has a chance in the near future if this series, along with Deus Ex, was revived from near obscurity. Raven is almost done with their next two games, after all.

Well the rope arrows only help if you have a ceiling to shoot at. I think the grappling hook would be useful if you had to get on a balcony. Also, if you ran out of rope arrows that's pretty much game over. _______________ "Deos fortioribus adesse." |

who needs grappling hook when you have rope arrow? 
anyway yeah those cutscenes were truly epic.. dont forget these tho: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uR8pcqV_HY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUxsgmJv-2c so much style... they could put a tiny bit more of it into the game itself. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

Sure, Garrett should not have the wall running abilities like in Mirror's edge, but he should be able to jump and hang on to polls and whatnot.
A problem for me is including a sword. On one side, I want the sword because it's from the original. If you're cornered, without any place to run, you could stand and fight. The problem is, if you're good enough you can fight off almost any mortal enemy with the sword. I think the AI should be borderline cheating when it comes to fighting so the sword can only be useful in a last resort situation. Now that I think about it...I always thought that a grappling hook should be in Garrett's arsenal. It seems like something every thief would have. The thing I really want back are the creepy cutscenes like this and this. _______________ "Deos fortioribus adesse." |

i just hope they wont increase the movement abilities to go with the trend we have today. you know - assassins creed, mirror's edge. superhuman agility is not something garret had. he is just a taffer
while a good one, i doubt he should be able to jump like altair or faith  since obviously thief games need a good physics engine - he could instead use all kinds of gadgets and items to reach the goal
for example if you played game called Mafia, there is this level where in a cutscene the main guy uses long wooden planks to make his way between an ordinary building and a church. so i think that would be something our cunning thief would do as well. that would make the game more realistic really. sure people would whine that HE IS A THIEF HE SHOULD BE AGILE GOMGOMGOM. what kind of thief would risk to destroy billion worth of loot, artifacts and other goodies just to show off? oh so he doesnt have all that when he goes into the mission, he should be agile! not at all... big-ass sword? precious bow? flashbombs? lmao i can actually imagine garret jumping 'leap-of-faith' style while flashbombs fly around and explode randomly xD so yeah... i hope for more realistic approach.. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

Source is still a very powerful engine and I believe it best suits the kind of game Thief is. Although, if a good staff worked on the U3 engine then it would come out very nice. Look at Mirror's Edge, that game had extremely good movement mechanics and Thief is all about stealth & movement.
I hope they bring back massive 2 hours to complete levels, rope arrows, swimming and the original voice of Garett. Although, I would like them to keep the intermediate city exploring level between missions, those were pretty fun. _______________ "Deos fortioribus adesse." |

Quote: I wonder what engine they will pick. I was hoping for source engine at first, but the U3 engine could be used nicely. A few rumors point to the U3 engine, but they aren't really reliable.
source is too old. u3 or some new/not so popular engine will be picked i think. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

yay great news.
i kinda hoped for that thief mod with doom3 engine, but it would probably take a few years for them to complete it... the physics etc are all there... its just there isnt much story or missions... anyway im not really sure what kind of game thief4 is gonna be. 1.there are loads of fans demanding for things like first person camera. while i love it myself - i like 3rd person camera as well when missions become too scary lol 2.then there are lots of people wanting the good old sword back. im one of those people
3. cutscenes. damn those were epic in thief 1-2... 4. items/gear from thief 1-2... ah... so much stuff. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.
