Rumor: Thief Sequel Announcement Set for May 11
by Nick Breckon, May 04, 2009 12:02pm PDTWord that Eidos Montreal is set to announce its second project has lead forum-goers to deduce that the title is likely the fourth entry to the company's revered series of stealth-action games, Thief.
Following its announcement of Deus Ex 3, Eidos last year hinted that the title of its second unannounced game begins with the letter "T"--prompting quick assumptions of Thief 4.
But according to a recent advertisement in Edge magazine, the upcoming title also resides on GameSpot's "Hall of Fame," "Greatest Games of All Time" and "Ten Best Heroes of Gaming" lists. As Kotaku points out, GameSpot forum members soon realized that Thief is the only game mentioned on all three lists.
Eidos Montreal is predictably declining to comment on the rumors, instead pointing to May 11 as the day it will officially reveal the project.

Can Thief 4 live up to the Thief name? It's gonna be a longshot.

I just finished replaying Deadly Shadows and, while I don't think it's as good as The Metal Age, I now think it's a respectable closure to the series.

I certainly hope they give the series a re-boot (I hate that phrase) and just deliver the old games with more back story and awesome graphics.
And please, PLEASE, be a PC game first and foremost. It's where it belongs. This means no 'deliberately stupid' AI to allow for flimsy Xbox controls, and no third person over the should Walls of War nonsense.
Difficult, gritty, uncompromising - THAT is Thief.

I'd love to see another Thief game though, just as long as it's better than 3. I really wanted to like that game but I just couldn't play it. I tried on many occasions and think the farthest I made it was half way through. I don't know if it was "consolitis" or just a plain crappy game, but I found the controls extremely clumsy and the engine didn't seem to be up to the task for handling that style of game.
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Can we leave one good game series untouched? Must everything be brought to the new console generation?
It'll be a dumbed-down pos. It *always* is.
