OMG! I knew it! Though I think we all did at some point or another! I tried sending eidosmontreal an email, but I got a mail failure notice. :( I really don't want to have to join yet another forum, but I guess I'll have to since TTLG isn't consider official, and all the feedback they will want will be on
forums.eidos.com My first concern was the

The announcement is just the tip of the iceberg. The bigger news is that they are looking for OUR input! Take advantage and run with this exciting aspect!
Don't they always say that?

thief 4 is finally announced yaaaay.I don't care about the thi4f (it's not so bad)
my heart stopped for a second (just joking).Now we can worry about the story and the time that the game is set in.

Neb, I found that, thanks.
I know I don't need to, but posts are more likely to be read there than here by the Eidos Montreal team.

It's good, but I can't remember any case when suggestions of fans changed result in any fundamental way.
They should a) have RIGHT PEOPLE in the team (f.e hiring Purah, who produced some of the absolutely best stories/FMs and later was hired by Arcane Studios would benefit a lot) b) provide friendly, cosy, and not formal work environment (like it was in LGS and not in Ion Storm Austin as it seems) to encourage creative initiative, experimentation, not standard approaches etc. c) do what they themselves plan based on their own vision and taste.

Didn't the Thief 3 request for comments go something like this.
devs - "what would you like to see in 3?"
us - "well we really like rope arrows, it'd be great if they were enhanced somehow."
devs - "the engine won't do rope arrows - NEXT!"
us - :thumb:

It's as I've said. They can be fans, but that doesn't mean the end product will be good--or at least, good Thief. And nobody knows what stupid obstacles may crop up.
