Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Looks like Eidos Montreal is working on both Deus Ex 3 and another game that starts with a T.
Facebook profile of one of the managers over there looks like EDIT: Basically her profile pic was the letter T in the Thief typeface but she took it down.
I am cautiously optimistic.
Also, it's nice that the ttlg people will give the NMA some competition. Which is what this great nation was founded on.

Thief, who wears hard-soled shoes just for the challenge.
Thief - come back, we miss you.

And some parts are scary as shit. (Assuming shit terrifies you.)

Yikes. Read through the thread there and most were bitching about Bioshock being commercialized garbage...
So, yeah, I'm excited, even if Eidos are retarded, and will probably market it as an Assassin's Creed clone. I hope this... Montreal thing doesn't mean they're going to use a new team. If they're developing Deus Ex 3 as well, they need to be fucking competent.
Thief is the shit. All of them.
I hope they bring back the rope arrows if they do make a 4, though. They were sorely missed in 3. At least we got them in Dark Messiah. The AI could use some work, too. Thief 3 is way too easy, even on expert. I'm the type of person who usually plays games on normal, too.
MGS isn't anything like Thief, though, I like them both. I liked Tenchu, too.
Hate Splinter Cell though. Linear trial and error is not my thing.
It's a new team making both.
Can I get a hell yeah?
Let 'em eat fucking pineapples!
No, but you can get an "I hope it turns out okay."
Indeed.
Let 'em eat fucking pineapples!
Get the third game. It's the best of the series, and not coincidentally, it is the one with multiple paths and most freedom of how to do things.
Make sure you get the X-Box version though - the GC and PS2 versions were gimped and had more linear maps. It's backwards compatible with 360.
The PC version is even better, even if it is filled with StarForce.
Clearer textures and higher resolutions and all that.
Also, The PC version of Chaos Theory is by far the best.
I can't imagine even a KBAM being better controls than the X-Box controller for Chaos Theory... especially since thumbstick is far superior for a game where you want to control how fast the character is moving.
On the PC, movement speed is controlled with the mouse wheel. Scrolling up on the wheel incrimentally speeds you up until you reach maximum speed and then scrolling down will reduce your speed until you hit the minimum.
The only "problem" with it is that when you stop moving, you're still set to move at your previously set speed and so might take off running unintentionally.
Some people find this way of controlling your movement speed awkward, but I find it preferable to a thumbstick. It's actually more precise.
Well you could always use a gamepad on your pc.
Sneaky..
Play these. If I see you on tf2 and you haven't played them no ubers or healing until you've played them.
That's how good they are.
Although that's a bit of an empty threat since I'm on my way out to buy dmc4 which will keep me even further away from tf2.
Thief 1+2 are easily in my top 10 favorite games list, for those that make lists... i hope for one day a thief that is like thief 1+2 but also like assassins creed... so that you die easily if found by 5 guards etc etc
In the PC versions you just scroll the mouse wheel to control speed. It works really well.
I hope they will be improvements on the previous two titles.

Exactly.
Considering Thief 3 and Deus Ex 2? "I hope it turns out okay" is the best that can be said.
But hell, at least they're TRYING. It's better then nothing.
There's also the fact that both Deus Ex 3 and Thief 4 are being worked on by new teams.
Thief 3 and DXIW? They all had quite a large number of the original people working on them and they turned out less than stellar in a lot of ways.
And if I remember right, these new teams actually are new. It's hard to judge how things might turn out when they're more or less unproven.
Both were sequels to awesome games. Both were developed simultaneously for the PC and the XBox. Both were a step down from the previous entries in the series.
One of the 2 was simply a larger step down.
True, and they both used the same engine, too, I guess you could throw in. -_-
Thief 3 still managed to keep the core gameplay mechanics, story, and atmosphere intact, though, and up to par with previous entries.
Yeah, the level size nerf, and lack of rope arrows did suck, but I'd hardly consider lowering the game size so that it could be released on console the equivalent of the changes in Deus Ex 2. That game changed what was good about the first one, I don't think Thief 3 did at all.
Though, come to think of it, the level size nerf might have been intentional, given how huge Thief 2's were. They fit Morrowind on the xbox, afterall.
Precision? In my PC controls? I refuse to believe it!
They've admitted that it was an engine limitation. While they were implementing the new features to UE2.5 that Ion Storm had been advertising so heavily, like the real-time lighting engine, they inadvertently neutered the engine.
It could no longer render water or support levels any larger than you see in Thief 3. They also had a lot of trouble getting rope arrows to work properly and they were removed because they didn't feel they worked well enough to be in the full retail game.
They weren't happy about it, but at that point, they had spent too much time working on the engine and were forced to use it.
What your saying does not compute. Smaller level sizes is one of the things that made Thief 3 suck. The huge, sprawling, non-linear levels were what MADE Thief.
Luckily however, the IW bitching is top grade.
There's already an awesome stealth game with rope arrows out, thats better than Assassin's Creed. And coincidentally has the best melee combat I've had the pleasure of seeing. Dark Messiah.
Thief's never been about combat though. I feel like I"m cheating if I kill anyone. And I technically am, since Thief/2's expert mode disallowed it, while 3's permits killing guards.
I'll be honest, we take fucking PRIDE in our bitching about sequels to Deus Ex and Thief 2.
