New Thief in development

Hitman's "they" are not the same as Thief's "they" buddy

>thi5f

stop

>but with the new Hitman it shows they can learn and return to their roots
I don't think you played the new Hitman. Yes, it returned to its roots, and had definitely did some good things with that but the game was a fucking disaster up until the "release" and even then it only got somewhat better.

It's also worth noting Warren Spector is heading up System Shock 3 with a bunch of ex-Looking Glass employees so that is also seeing a revival, hopefully.

And Prey, made by Arkane which has a decent amount of Looking Glass staff, was pretty good.

Thief's "they" all got fired so i imagine they pasted it to the hitmen team since season 2 is cancelled

>>376759704
Yeah thie5 looks way better, 5 looks closer to a f

>>376759638
If they're paring it with the movie they're going to fuck it up and I hope they crash and burn

>>376760752
Thi4f never made any sense though, that's part of the reason it was hilarious. 4 looks nothing like an e.

Why not ThieV?

I should get paid for that.

The premise of this thread just doesn't make any sense at all.

my opinion: EH

>>376759638
IOI and Eidos are two completely different companies. Hitman Season 1 managed to be godly IN SPITE OF Square's constant fuckups and gross experimentation. Thi4f was garbage much because of it.

So will they stick to what Thiaf did or will they at least try and make an actual Thief game? I don't have any faith they'd be able to pull it off but it would be nice to at least see them try.

But that's wrong, it's not THI4F, but just THIEF. They changed the game into a ""reboot"" and re-imagining when the shitstorm started to spew after E3 back in 2012 when fans were finding out that they took out all the magic from the Thief universe including scrapping iconic factions like the Hammerites and Pagans to stroke the dick of their "muh grimdark non-magical setting" wet dreams.

If there is going to be a new Thief, it's going to be Thief 2.

I don't care anymore, I just want this game to die to be honest and buried forever for closure sake. I couldn't a give a shit about your faggotry of "we need more games, I'll take whatever diarrhea you'll give me". I rather have no Thief than see it being fucking tainted by modern development.

>>376761773
Maybe the new thief developers will see the negative reception for thi4f and make it better?

>>376763276
What if its good though

>The last Thief game, which launched back in 2014, was met with mixed reviews, ranging from a 67 to 70 on Metacritic between all platforms. Our own Ben Reeves had this to say about it, "Eidos-Montreal may have adhered too closely to the series’ roots, resulting in a reboot that suffers from classic problems like simplistic combat and trial-and-error sneaking missions. However, locked behind this old-school game design is a gem that stealth fans should eye up for their collection."
Can we have this person shot? Please?

>>376763308
Maybe they'll make it better than Thi4f, but that's not saying much. I strongly doubt that they would make a game that is as good as the first two, let alone better, and that's not good enough.

Holy shit how fucking delusional are you? Either you're young and only been around to experience this current industry or just plain retarded.

If you expect anything like the originals with the modern industry you're crazy. In fact I bet on the board room their discussing whether the thi4f failed because it didn't have enough action to engaged the players. We're living in an industry where stealth as a genre is fucking dead anon, and has been opted to being an optional feature instead of making games entirely devoted to stealth.

they should be embarrassed some frogs cobbled together a better thief game with re-used assets and pocket change

>>376764551
Do you honestly believe they're not just going to tie everything around the movie, like the R&C reboot? Many companies, especially shit enix would do that because they get more money. One is basically advertising the other.

>>376764968
I like to imagine they learned from thi4f that people hate the casualization of it

Holy shit what a bunch of faggots. And this is coming from the people who wrote the cover story for the new Thief in whatever magazine this is. Thiaf's UI is more garbage sleek futuristic stuff that doesn't fit the setting at all.

Dunno, but gamestar is germanys biggest gaming site, they wouldn't say that something this big out of the blue if their source wasn't 100% reliable, if this turns out to be wrong that would legit hurt their reputation.

>>376766528
>if this turns out to be wrong that would legit hurt their reputation.
I doubt anyone actually cares that much.

Thief 5 is going to be absolute fucking garbage unless they scrap the reboot game and make a reimagining of Thief 4, that includes the magic feeling of the original Thief setting, the factions, and implementing a better story for Garrett's apprentice. Otherwise I wouldn't enjoy the series otherwise. Thief 4's story was so completely fucking retarded that I fail to acknowledge it's existence. Of course Squeenix will not because making a sequel guarantees people buying your previous piece of shit. If you make an entirely new game scrapping the original title and make a new iteration, nobody is going to buy it.

The tactics that Squeenix is implementing with the new Thief is brilliant to be honest. Reason why Thief failed was because it was appealing to no one'. Make an action flick to bring in a new crowd of people and you can shove the old niggers of the fanbase goodbye and you can do absolutely anything with the series, crybabying fans or not.

The guy who said that isn't a developer though, just a dumb game informer writer

>>376766871
I don't care too much about the story, and would be fine with some story issues if at least they gameplay was good. But they can't get the gameplay right. Thief 4 played nothing like the other three. It was basically a modified version of Deus Ex HR. And I have no hope for this new one if it even sees the light of day. Maybe they'll attempt to "go back to its roots" (though judging by that image someone posted where people were saying that Thiaf was already way too close to its roots it doesn't seem like they would) but it will still more than likely end up being shit.

EVEN in the incredibly far-fetched chance that the game will be good (it won't), this shit is bound to flop very hard.

1- It's not the last gen anymore, you can't hope to sell a game on name alone.
2- If it's not either a whale-bait multiplayer game, an openworld with lots of marketing, or a low-budget game your game is going to flop. See the new Deus Ex, Dishonored 2 or Prey. That's how it is, last gen truly fucked up the industry something fierce.

>>376762818
>"Eidos-Montreal may have adhered too closely to the series’ roots, resulting in a reboot that suffers from classic problems like simplistic combat and trial-and-error sneaking missions.
what....
uhh.................
my blood is simmering
also, unrelated but i have to mention that warren spector should also fuck off with his "if there's guard barracks, i want to know if there are guards there, and i want to be able to kill them all"
warren, you're an alright guy but you didn't get it

>>376767272
>or a low-budget game
the funny thing is, to replicate a game as good as thief gold, these days, is insanely cheap. but their teams are most likely unable to do it anyway, even with the massive amounts of money they have

>>376767272
All three of those games had various things wrong with them that caused poor sales. The newest Deus Ex was apparently half a game, Dishonored 2 had shit performance on every platform, and Prey had very little marketing, was using the name of a completely unrelated game, and was right after Dishonored 2's poor launch. Not saying that the types of games they were weren't partially responsible but they weren't entirely responsible.

>>376767272
I actually want to see more stealth multiplayer games, something like that splinter cell multiplayer. Underutilized genre that needs more expanding

>>376766871
It's going to be garbage no matter what

I can already imagine it, it's like DmC all over again

The best way for this to end is the same way DmC ended, with it generally hated, mediocre sales in Squares eyes, and then commiting sudoku

That doesn't make sense, they said fuck you with thi4f and it failed and closed the studio. Why would they do that again

New hitman was a action packed movie but the game was different

>>376767820
that's what warren spector said about thief's design, or something similar to that.
when he played it, he was frustrated that the player had a really limited amount of information, that the maps were always incomplete and that he couldn't like, know what he was going to face, and that he would probably get killed if he tried to fight.
part of his design in deus ex was to counter what he didn't like in thief, by giving the player more freedom, and not do what he felt was "limiting".

>>376768049
I quoted the guy above me

>>376768202
For what it's worth, people who worked on Thief have said the game was terrible until things clicked into place shortly before its release. IIRC Spector stopped working on Thief relatively early on in its development, so the game he was talking about was probably a lot different than the one we know, and he's said that he came to respect Thief's design more after its release.

>>376767957
Yeah, the problem is the race of the cast and not the fact it's going to be a retarded action movie.

>>376771149
Both are great, it depends on which environments/settings you like more. Thief 1 has a more medieval/grave robbing/tomb raiding type of setting while Thief 2 is more urban. I personally like Thief 2 more.

Both handle stealth almost perfectly and both have great narratives with well-written antagonists. My favorite missions in both are The Mage Towers in 1 and Masks in 2. All of the good Thief games (1-Deadly Shadows) usually go on sale for less than $5 each and are more than worth it. Just make sure you set up the proper patches before playing.
