.....they'd put the year as a subtitle. :D
:laff:
And then they'd release it every year for full price with minor changes
Thief 2007 - improved character clothes
thief 2008 - added sponsor tags to all walls
thief 2009 - updated character clothes

If EA were to handle Thief, you'd get a pile of 30-somethings whining about how horrible the game was 6 months before so much as a game concept interview or screenshot became available.

I'de say that if any group of young, extremely gifted, well pedigreed masterminds got together when the stars were in a rare alignment, if I could just set my time machine for 1996...

EA is only interested in games they can put out sequals for each year to rake in more money on minor upgrades. They do this with every single series they produce and it kills me that people actually defend it. I can't say I'll never play one of their games though. Every once in a while they put out something half way decent. But they certainly would not be the company I'd want to see in charge of a future Thief game.

Thief Live
Every time I see "Live" in a computer game title, I see Eric Cartman saying "No, you r-tard, I'm playing World of Warcraft and talking to my friends on TeamSpeak!"
Eeh, if the right people got ahold of it, I
might play a Thief MMORPG, but itd have to be
damn good, and no monthly fee ( Guild Wars, anyone? :cheeky: ). I'd still kill EA if they so much as
touched Thief in the wrong way. Or if they touched Thief at all... Damn it!
::in a zombie-like graoning tone:: muuuuusssst kiiiiiiill EA...

EA get a lot of flak, mostly because they deserve it with all their sequels and tie ins, but they do occasionally come up with something interesting. Medal Of Honour: Airborne could be very interesting if they live up to their hugely ambitious promises...

I'm very curious to see how that game plays out. It sounds interesting for sure and one thing fps games are in dire need of is replayability. The thief series is so great for that because of the openness of the levels and how you can approach missions in so many different ways. Airborne could be like that if they do it right. My fear is that there will just be specific predetermined landing zones that start different scripted sequences which still require you to travel down a tunnel to the objective. The Medal of Honor and Call of Duty games use such heavy scripting and forced routing to this point I really find it hard to imagine they will suddenly break from that entirely to completely open levels with infinite possibilites but it would certainly give the series new life if they managed to pull it off.
