Morning Discussion
I hope the USA is enjoying National Cookie Cutter Week as much as I am. That lovely little piece of cephalopod art up top is by Meg Lyman, by the way.

replyI miss the Thief games. Is there going to be a Thief4? I remember some gossip about that.

Or as I lovingly remember it, "The 4 fuck", though that's not really a pronunciation.

Eidos has always had a mixed reputation. I can't understand following a publisher religiously, with the exception of the old incarnations of Sierra, Origin and LucasArts.
-
Blizzard, Valve, Bioware, there are definitely some that are just a cut above the rest.
-
Totally read developer instead of publisher, forget my post.
-
Wait, I forgot Blizzard and Bioware. I wouldn't include Valve, just because they publish so much now that there's plenty of crap in their stable.
-
Bioware is published by EA, and all Valve "publishes" outside of it's own software is some indy/micro dev stuff (I don't count stuff sold on Steam that has a non-digital presence). For some reason I read "developers" so I just started naming some.
-
I really need to sit back and think a bit more before I post.
-
LOL, same.

Ach! Gah! Just had a quick look at the jobs page on Eidos Montreal. It seems to indicate it'll be using UE3. Does UE3 really have the chops for a new Thief game d'you think, lighting wise? I know the last one used a modified Unreal Engine 2 and looked fantastic, and that much can achieved with the UE3, but I was just hoping for something new and fantastic.
As long as it doesn't have that typical, overly-specular, "Saran wrap'd" look - as people call it - seemingly indicative of little care and attention to lighting above and beyond what can be done "out of the box" with the engine, it'll be a start.-

There's a total conversion mod for Doom 3 that ported Thief over to using the Doom 3 engine.
http://www.thedarkmod.com/-
Dark Mod is great, but it's not correct to say they "Ported Thief" - it's thief-like, but all-new content, and mission makers can't directly reference thief's factions or characters.
Regardless, I imagine we'll see most of the Thief fan mission makers move over at some point - running through the training level is enough to prove it's potential.
