THIEF 4 ANNOUNCED!

[Cyborg Eastern European]

Why would it be ****ing retarded?

 

[Eluqqa]

Thief 1, 2 and 3 all work fine on Vista. Second one required a little bit of fiddling.

Also, holy ****. Thief 4.

Archonsod, I don't care if other games are dumb and fail at copying from Thief. I will be playing Thief instead of those games that fail at copying.

 

[Archonsod]

They made no sense whatsoever, and didn't add anything to the gameplay.

That would leave you only playing thief then, since some muppet even found a way to include a stealth level in Homeworld. Talk about misplaced ...

 

[Selothi]

All I have to say is: awesome. I don't give a **** what any of you say, I loved Thief III, and have played a bit of Thief I. I dislike the zombie feature, but you can live with it. So yeah, all around, this makes me most happy !

 

[Merentha]

And the get the old inventory back.
And ammo.

No, that would be ****ing retarded.

While it didn't make sense, the gameplay was a hell of a lot better than IW's absolutely idiotic system. 

 

[Dryvus]

Holy awesome, I had a hankering to play through Thief 3 again recently. They... aren't planning on making it a multiplayer game, are they?

 

[Archonsod]

While it didn't make sense, the gameplay was a hell of a lot better than IW's absolutely idiotic system.

Can't say I noticed a difference, apart from not having a stupid amount of ammunition or being able to carry around enough cigarette packets to get me convicted of trafficking.  All IW really did was get rid of the useless crap you could pick up, directly limit the weapons and health boosters the player could carry and streamline the ammo. I actually preferred it in some ways; I had to think about what weapon I could afford to use at what point, rather than simply blazing away with whatever took my fancy safe in the knowledge I had enough arms and ammunition to equip a small army.

Well, that was never really an issue anyway, because you could pretty easily solo the whole game using a silenced sniper rifle. Or the dragon's tooth sword, at that.

 

[Bismarck]

I would really like a Thief 4, but what about the ending of Thief 3?
Do they ignore it (I would) or do we have to play the little girl?
My oppinion: Thief = our good old cynical Garrett

I would prefer a game where you actually sneak, steal and hide in shadows or jump over the roofs instead of playing exorcist. Also rope arrows need to be put back into the game.
The city should be big and between the missions you should be able to collect your "share" of the trader's profits, steal from the offering box of the hammerites or just have fun by causing mishief: (Thief: Deadly Shadows) If you kill someone and a rogue discovers the corpse, he will draw his sword and explore the area to find the murderer (A rogue wouldn't be unhappy about a dead rogue/guard, but that's Thief 3). If the city watch guard comes around the corner and discovers the rogue and the corpse, he will go crazy and try to kill the rogue. This usually started some nice street battles. It gets really interesting if the Hammerites and the Pagans are wandering through the streets and they meet each other.

Climbing and the Thief's Highway should definetly be in the game. I also enjoyed the ability to make peace with the hammerites/pagans.

 

[Merentha]

Well, that was never really an issue anyway, because you could pretty easily solo the whole game using a silenced sniper rifle. Or the dragon's tooth sword, at that.

Or the first pistol you got, or without killing anyone.  Well, except for the guy in the missile silo, but you can fall on him.  to kill him. 

 

[Archonsod]

You don't get enough sniper ammo to solo the game, pistol possibly (depends on how you deal with the bots) point being however the inventory did not contribute to this.

Yes, you do, as its possible to go through the whole game and only kill one person.

Wasn't speaking of Navarre.  I was talking about the missile silo dude. 

 

[RaVeN]

Finally, after all those years of waiting! The first two games are the best. I hope they don't make Thief 4 like Deadly Shadows; it took away the fun of sneaking and ridiculously took away the possibilities of climbing, exploration of replaying levels. It probably explains why so few FM are available for DS. They should use the original Dark Engine for Thi4f, which was well-suited for the first two games and the mechanics were great.

I agree 100%. (Update the engine.)

You can easily solo the game using just a sniper rifle. Avoid bots, obviously.

 

[Elenmmare]

Thiaf ?!?


Meh, it'll herald yet another wave of ****ing stupidly misplaced compulsory stealth sections in games where it's utterly inappropriate and nonsensical to have them.

Eidos Montreal are also working on Deus Ex III. They're either going to be held as the saviors of modern gaming, or cursed as the ultimate fail of modern times. Place your bets ladies and gentlemen.

Fine, the Quebecois can stay. But only because of this!

Edit: Hehe, "instalment". French Canadians are so cute. Je les aime.
