Oh, agreed... I never said it was official information.
The link to the video is in that thread somewhere as far as I remember.

In two interviews with Stephane Roy, he got all excited and giggly and said he wasn't going to say, and he wanted Steve Gallagher to explain about the Hammers and Pagans.

Seems like this is the quote being referred to:
Quote:
Q: Can we expect any groups or characters from the original games to turn up, like the Hammers? I know it's not a prequel or sequel, but I think I saw the sigil for the Keepers in the level...
A: That's going to be a very good question for a little bit closer to release. As you said, it's not a prequel or sequel, it's really our interpretation of what makes a good Thief game. We want to give some homage to previous games, but if you compare this to what Christopher Nolan did with the Batman franchise - it's still the same main character, still the same Bruce Wayne, but on the other hand it looks completely different to what's gone before, different costume, and no Adam West! That's the type of thing we're aiming to go for.
So the question is "ANY groups or characters from original games", and the answer seems to suggest yes. But this says nothing specifically about Hammers. We already know that the faction opposing the baron is likely lead by someone from Thief lore (since the devs were so strictly keeping the name a secret). It could mean Constantine, or Sheriff Truart, or even Benny (voiced by someone else).
Claiming that this shows "Hammerites are in Thief" is a stretch even in a topic dedicated to stretches.

Oh.Good. Lord. Thiefessa, you've linked to a fan's post, an EM forums member who claims to have read something different between the lines and is positive about the Hammerites Because He Did The Interview and 'Stephane Roy basically said they would be revealed later'. Basically? And of course, he just happens to be pro-EM, calling those fans/EM members pessimists because they don't agree with his oh-so-optimistic opinion of EM & T4.
Typical of you.
And what Springheel said.
jtr7 on 13/4/2013 at 12:52
That's something else entirely, Springheel. The question in question, not that one you quoted, was directly about Hammers and Pagans, and the answer was an excited deferment to Gallagher, who hasn't answered yet. But there are confusing switch and baits going on in previous posts.
Springheel on 13/4/2013 at 12:53
If anyone happens to know where that quote is, I'd like to see it.
jtr7 on 13/4/2013 at 12:55
It might take awhile. Hopefully I'll find it in my first stab or two.

Bu... but.. you've read things and taken up your own personal views in the past. :wot:
LOL.
Nothing wrong with being optimistic, pessimistic or neutral in
MY world. :cool:

Once again, you've totally missed the point. Nevermind. It's way too early in the morning to get into another circular argument with you. Not worth it. *smh*
And if you'd take off the rose-colored glasses (I can see the EM logo on them from here, btw) you might actually see the real world the rest of us live in.
There's yet to be an official statement from EM saying the NuThief will have Hammerites, Keepers, Mechanists, etc. Period. Looks like the question of former Thief factions being included in NuThief still depends on which lines you're reading between.

If I missed any point, its because there wasn't a point to focus on.
I don't wear rose-coloured glasses and I don't wear an EM logo here.
Never said there was any official statement of this, that or the other. We are all speculating a lot of stuff, no?
