Here is the link talking about it:
(
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.402653-Thief-AKA-THI4F-confirmed-with-a-load-of-new-screenshots?page=1)
Game Informer has a full preview of the game for paying members. I am not a paying member, but needless to say for any curious enough fan there are places where it can be seen regardless.
To summarize some of the points made in it however:
-No Undead
-No Burricks
-No Hammerites (Possibly)
-No Magic (Seems inaccurate. There is magic to some degree at least.)
-No Water Arrows
-No Rope Arrows
-Cinematic Takedowns
Water Arrows have been replaced with 'dry-ice' arrows for whatever reason, and the rope arrow is replaced with a gun that shoots a grappling hook, presumably so that the devs can make it more context sensitive and not have people running around improvising and having fun. Damned kids!
There's some good stuff as well, but obviously being the grumpy cynic that I am I choose to focus almost entirely on the negative things.
ALSO FROM THAT SAME PLACE:
I saw them say (developers of the game) this:
"- Team is trying to find a balance between making combat enjoyable and allowing players to enter combat if they want"
What... Combat is something you should want to avoid, a last resort. It shouldn't be a first resort. You aren't a thief if you just run and kill everyone, it makes you also a murderer...
To me they have COMPLETLY SCREWED this game up....it is almost as if they meant to do it that way.
My question is why make a thief game AT ALL if you are going to screw it up so badly?
My answer is because there are so many stupid people playing games these days that they could not possibly play games like those in the earlier days when you actually had to use some of your BRAIN to figure things out!
Now it just seems like the more they can dumb things down for a player...the better!
Kinda sad.
One thing I AM glad for is that Stephen Russell will not be a part of this trash.
Oh well.... at least I have the older thief games that I can play correctly.
Can't wait for the NEXT Thief game...where Garrett ditches those stupid arrows and goes for a modern weapon....like a rocket propelled grenade launcher! Just think how many guards you can take out with that?
You can call the game rambo thief! (sarcasim)

Yep, they f**** it up. Quick, people who've played Thief, what are some of the iconic elements of the Thief series? Think it over in your head, I'll wait...
Bet the religious turmoil and the fanatical Hammerites were on that list, especially considering they were the key plot element in Thief 2. Their entire order, their beliefs, and the grand and lavish cathedrals they built were essential to the series.
They're gone now.
What. The. F***.
This guy. This guy knows.
But also this.

At this point, we gamers should have learned that resurrecting an old beloved title, is never a good thing for its fans. Seriously every single reboot/revamp of an older title will piss off its fans because it is simply a new game made by a new team of developers. It will not feel like the old game you love, it can't really.
Best you can hope for is a solid game in its own right, and try to forget the title of it.
This is all too true.

It'll be a bargain bin buy for me just because it's going to be a helluva long time before I'll buy a new console.
... if ever.
I'M GETTING TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT!

Just for future reference, may I ask what publications you find reputable? Ive seen lots of people say negative things about lots of publications. Are there any worthwhile anymore?
thiefessa on 15/5/2013 at 19:16
There is no reputable publication for this particular game..... YET. All there is to read now is mere speculation.... which I am personally not interested in.

There is no reputable team developing this particular game..... CURRENTLY.
Fixed

Ha, too funny!
If you truly believe your own thoughts, then you should study hard and become a game developer and make Thief as awesome as you want it to be. :cool: :thumb:

You're not interested in any kind of speculation on the new game? Then why would you even read and post here? Cuz that's all you're going to get at TTLG...
thiefessa on 15/5/2013 at 19:48
I enjoy fan speculation from TTLG and the Eidos forums... that's why I read and post here (and there). Got a problem with that?
