T3... our worst fears confirmed! - by Ignatius

It is with a heavy heart that I share this truly, truly disturbing information. No no, Thief 3 has not been cancelled, something far worse has happened. But first let me explain how I got this information...
I was sitting on a random bus, going from here to there, and I happened to notice a man had left some papers on his seat as he was leaving. Being the upstanding man that I was/am/will be again, I grabbed the papers and started after him.... but then I glaced down at the page (quite accidentally) and couldn't believe my eyes: here was the top-secret proposal to the next game of the Thief series! It was all here... design, layouts, screenshots, even sketches of the package design.
And it's truly frightening.
Yes friends, we always knew that the second-worse thing that could happen is for Thief 3 to be cancelled, but now the absolute worst thing has happened...
Apparently, Thief 3 will NOT be a first-person sneaker. The decision was made to try to expand the audience, and to that effect it was decided that Thief 3 will be a third-person go-cart racing game. The working title is in fact "Thief 3: The Go-cart Project". If you don't believe me, well here are those screen shots...

Ignatius,
In the long proud history of goof-ball screenshots here at TTLG, yours are at the head of the class! :D :D

Now I REALLY can't wait!
:D
Those have to be the best screenshots ever. I can almost hear the Cheesier-Than-Cheese UT2K3 Announcer over that second one saying "BOW UPGRADE!"
