No, you would call it Thief (reboot), Thief 2014, or even THIEF. Actually, it could very well be referred to a "Thief" since the previous games had longer titles.
But it's not the fourth game in the Original Thief "series".
Not just like T: DS as T3, since that one was just renamed for the console, and it actually was the third part of the series.
Was that last sentence directed at me? I didn't say it was good or bad.
Well thanks for reminding me why I stopped frequenting these forums, at least. That's a contribution, isn't it? Guys?

Yeah, the name needs something to differentiate it from the other games.
Calling it Thief: The Dreck Project works for me.

After watching that....
Is anyone else groaning over the fact that Garrett is continuously holding his hands out in front of him like a zombie--or a retard looking for a hug? That constant view of goofy hands wavering out front non-stop would annoy the living shit out of me.

Almost everything (movement, HUD, combat, stealth, AI) in this "gameplay" is terrible. :eek:
Really terrible.
I think I should enter "jtldr, Goldgloom, Diarhia, Vhy (oh vhy?) and antizero" camp.

After watching that video, I can understand why they've been putting off showing it to the public for so long.
"Suspicious"
"Headshot 120XP"
"Press R1 to Takedown"
Slow motion combat
Giant spinning wheel of items
Red dots above all AI
Atomic blue Focus stuff
And it goes on, and on... It's bad when loot glint isn't even close to the worst of your criticisms.
But the environment looks nice...I guess?
(I'm assuming that thing in the bottom left is your Focus meter, not some kind of light gem?)

Also, why hasn't this forum's name been changed? Some bizarre SEO reason?
No - it's just that "Thief IV Angst and Wailing" would be a bit too negative...
(Seriously, though, it's probably best to leave it as Thief IV for now as it's not causing confusion, it's the fourth game in the series and it will be changed anyway once the game is released).

The environment did look really cool - I liked the 'feel' of the footage. I also liked the hands popping out when you hug a corner to lean around it to take a look at something. Not a fan of the hands being out in front of you while running forward though. Or the weird border the entire area of vision had.
If you are able to toggle the HUD elements like the stuff over the guards heads I don't see it being that bad. I liked being able to target multiple items on each enemy one at a time. Can't say I'm sold on focus yet as a mechanic - I'll need to see how it plays instead of watching someone else play it.
Overall not nearly as horrible as people have made it out to be. If the HUD elements are that bad I'm sure people will figure out how to change/disable them eventually.

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to watch any T4 footage without this coming to mind now. %)

I'm not much a video editor, but if I was, right about now I'd be making the latest thief meme video of superimposing different wacky arm movements from other video games onto NuG. The jockey from l4d2 complete with sound effects comes to mind.
