Read it again. You missed the point of the analogy.

Just because some of them have worked on AC previously doesn't mean that they're going to bring every single feature from AC into Thief...
Nope, didnt miss a thing Im afraid. Just your basic standard groping looks like.

Okay. A guy who used to make burgers in fast food dive before he went to medical school doesn't mean he'll hack up, fry and saute his patients on the operating table as a surgeon. His previous job has no bearings or influence on his current one.
Or in other words, just because a guy worked on Assassin's Creed in the past doesn't mean his entire thought process is then based around Assassin's Creed from that point on, and every game he makes will be exactly like Assassin's Creed because of this.

Right, grilling burgers has no bearings on performing surgery, while making one modern video game has *significant* bearing on making another modern video game. What am I missing?

Let the groping begin... I dont think Tomi is benefiting from your help on this one dude. :cheeky:

Tomi, Renz', et al, if you gotta make stuff up to defend a game "you've never seen" (yeah right), then you've got nothing. You do have stuff to work with, but neglect to employ it, so I can't help you. You want to be happy, and so do I!

What is this? Psychological projection happy hour? We're not the ones making ridiculous conjecture based upon nearly nonexistent evidence.

Oh Jesus Christ...
Okay. The basic point is...
The work you do in the past don't have any bearing on the work you do in the present or future. So just because a developer worked on Assassin's Creed previously, doesn't mean he'll make Thief 4 AC...what...5 now?
Or to put it more in perspective for you...
Just because an old LGS developer worked on Flight Unlimited at some point, doesn't mean he'd make Thief into a flying game.
You get it now?

Youre also not the ones building any type of defensive stance based upon the same evidence. Youre just trying to outdo another forum member, jtr7, as usual. Talk about the game, not jtr7, hello.
Seriously?

OK, we appear to have reached some sort of strange forum impass. It is at this point that I must now withdraw, for reasons presented to me by moderation recently, in order to retain my priveledges here.
Also, seriously?

Did you just say "every single feature"? Really? What's that about? How about no AC feature, not one or two. Of course they won't bring in every single feature. WTF? :confused:
Okay okay, I was exaggerating there (I thought it was obvious enough) - if they did bring in
every single feature we would literally have an AC game in our hands.
But so far I haven't seen even one or two significant features brought over from AC.
I've read most of the Thief related articles that have been released during the last few days. Before that, not so much, I've tried to keep up with it all by reading this forum, but perhaps not all the information finds its way here.

It may have
some bearing of course, but do you really think that these guys aren't capable of doing anything else but AC clones for the rest of their lives? What did they do before AC even existed? I guess they worked on other games, some of which were probably something totally different. Do you think they have such a shortage of
new ideas for a
new game that they have to bring in all the "kewl" ideas from their earlier projects?

OH MY GOD RENZATIC! But that's where the slow-fall potions came from!! :eek: Because flying is a bit like falling slowly... It's all clear to me now - jtr and goldie were right all along. :o

I'm not the one claiming Thief 4 is going to be exactly like AC. Claim that each bit of news he sees proves this fact more and more to him, then when asked to show what made he assume such...
...just doesn't answer.
Do you not see the issue here? I'm not trying to win an argument. I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY HE THINKS THIEF 4 LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE AC!
It's not a hard question to answer. So why hasn't he answered me?
