No, not another "will there be thief4" thread, but... - by Flux

What's up with all these insults? Let's just continue the REAL discussion instead, ok?
Anyway, I'm guessing there hasn't been any updates as to if Thief 4 is in the making, right? Has it been mentioned when the title (beginning with 'T') is going to be revealed?

No news as of yet, but I still think it is unlikely to be anything but Thief 4.

Something new that T4 can have...
Multiplayer !
People liked the Thievery mod.
So why not ?
I can already think about cool modes:
----------------------------------------------
VS MODES
-Thieves vs Guards
Guards must protect the loot. They can use torches, armor, big swords.
Thieves must sneak and grab the loot. Killing guards makes the thief lose points.
-Thieves vs Thieves
Every thief for himself. The AI guards are guarding the loot. You must get it before the others.
-Zombie survivor
A team of thieves and one zombie. The thieves must grab the most loot while the zombie must kill them. Once a thief is dead he becomes a zombie. Winner is a mix of most time alive with most loot aquired (with loot giving much more points so camping will not make you win). Must be very scary.
-Capture the scepter
There are two mansions. One in front of the other. Each one has it own scepter. The thieves from mansion 1 must protect the scepter and all the loot from it, while trying to rob the loot and scepter of the other mansion. Same inversed rules for mansion 2.
-----------------------------------------------
MISSION MODES
-Co-op mission
A normal Thief mission but this time you can do it with a friend. Imagine a Lord Bafford mission but with more enemies and loot. Some situations will require co-operative actions: pulling two distant levers at the same time, etc.
-VS Mission
A normal Thief mission where you (and other friends) start as a normal thief, but one of your friends is the mansion´s owner.
He is not in the game but he can command every action of all the guards. Including their patrol, setting of traps, relighting torches, etc. He can´t see or hear you unless a guard sees or hears you. He will notice when a guard has been blackjacked, so this is going to be hard.
Another version is where your enemy is a vampire lord, commanding zombies patrols. Dead thieves can still play as zombies, until the last thief dies or completes the mission.

I'd like to see the Thief 2 Gold missions--at least, those locations--finally fleshed out.
Nickie, I'm sorry to hear that. I've never played the Tomb Raider games, and there are quite a number of them, so I couldn't know.

I love you, taffer! (Not that way :sly:)
Awww, I love you too man. And I *know* Ravynous does too! :cheeky:
Seriously, anyone who loves Thief as much as you is certainly worth listening too, at least just to hear you out. I think a lot of people here merely skim the surplus of information you present. :)
(not me tho)
Taff on droogies.

I gotta make me a Garrett version of the classic "Keep on Truckin'" image:

I saw this all over the place as a kid, and in several incarnations. I remember a kid my age with a T-shirt and the words "Keep on Truckin'" across the top.
Oh, and not only would I like to see the
Thief 2 Gold locales used, but the districts and other Wardens' estates that we've never officially seen, as well. I'm hoping not just for an expanded City, with all new places, but old places mentioned that we never had a mission to play through in.

Only joking jtr7. I've played one - did she speak? Can't remember. At the time I thought it was pretty good - but then I hadn't met Thief. :D

You joker, you!:p

Unless, of course, you're talking about Angelina Jolie in which case I'd say, very nice voice indeed and hardly 'American' at all. :cheeky:
But back to the topic. Whatever is produced, I sincerely hope I want to go further than Mission 3 which is as far as I got in TDS. Tomi's thread almost got me trying again, but somehow the interest isn't there. My lack of nowse I'm sure.

I hope there's no multiplayer.
Not because I'm completely opposed to multiplayer Thief per se (although I certainly don't care about it much).
But much more importantly, any time they spend to develop multiplayer is time taken away from further developing/tweaking/polishing the single player game
