This could be a great opportunity for EM to make a video to upload to their stagnating (

YouTube channel, and one for us non-French speakers.

I really like good news. :) Oh, and I love concept art, just for the record. One of the reasons why I'd like to see a new Thief game even if it turns out to be very bad.

don't all developers claim that ? bioshock was done by the guys that did SS2 and did they somehow honor the franchise (besides copying the story) ????? Not really.

I seem to remember hearing the same from the TDS team as well... :erg:
What else should they say? No, we don't care about Thief 4? Unlikely. I reserve my judgment until I hold the game in hands and see for myself. Concept art is easily done, so that is no real indication where the direction is going.

There is quite a difference between a team saying that it consists of Thief fans and someone outside the business saying the same thing about the team. Unfortunately we have nothing except for a forum reply about this issue.
The next difference is between the intention of someone and what someone else thinks what the intention really was. I don't know about Bioshock, but for TDS we don't have any real evidence that any developer didn't care about it or had a completely deranged conception of the game. But the fans of course ate wisdom on a spoon... honestly, I wouldn't want to develop anything for you. :nono:

I tend to agree with Beleg. The amount of pessimism floating around here borders on parody. Might as well rename the forum to Sourpuss Central. ;)

In any case, I'm sure the cloud of pessimism will lift when the community actually sees something that shows them EM is on the right track. We faced a lot of pessimism during early TDM development as well. After the disappointment many felt over TDS, EM will just have to earn our trust...I won't fall into blindly giving it out the way I did with Ion Storm.
