Plok 327 Posted March 5, 2013 (TBA 2014) http://www.shacknews.com/article/78078/thief-confirmed-for-next-gen Thief 4, now simply titled "Thief," has been confirmed as a next-gen title. Square Enix is planning to release the game for PC, PlayStation 4, and "other next-gen platforms" (i.e. Microsoft's box) sometime in 2014. Dammit Eidos Montréal, not you too! Reboots are for sissies!

Saracen 16 Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Oh Jesus Christ, another Reboot / Sequel This is the exact reason I've ditched the AAA gaming market altogether and have no interest in Next Gen consoles. I am rather strictly indie nowadays. At least they offer some form of Innovative gaming experience and are prepared to take the risks. It stands to reason why I'm also getting an OUYA. I know, I know... I'm complaining as usual. But as an older gamer, I'm growing tired of the roads the big companies have gone down and are going down. I want that golden age of gaming back where bedroom programmers ruled the day and new ideas didn't make publishers send developers back to the drawing board. It's no wonder in a pre-GDC 2013 survey, 44% of all attending developers have said they'll go the kickstarter route to fund their games... Publishers are killing the industry by recycling the same old rubbish or killing classic legacies... and almost half the people who work 2-3 years on a game for our entertainment are sick of it.

Plok 327 Posted March 6, 2013 Frankly, I'm not complaining that it's another game in a series that has been off the shelves since 2004 (and a really deep and complex series at that), but the very gesture of removing all subtitles and/or numbers is outrageous. After T3 ended, basically, the way T1 started, only with another character, the saga should've been complete (or at least considered the first trilogy). Why remove everything Looking Glass and Ion Storm made from '98 to '04???? Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 41 Posted March 11, 2013 Does the name really matter? If the game is fun and enjoyable, is the title really that important? If it is, I feel sorry for you since you'll just miss out on something. Not that I really care much since I have no interest in the Thief series. Share this post Link to post
Luk3us 63 Posted March 13, 2013 Seems people have short memories these days, if you're game is older than three years its time for a reboot. Share this post Link to post
