I looked at Google for a release date of Thief 4 and all I can find is things like "no release date yet". (Of course) And one I LOVE..." If you know of the release date, would you post it here?" LOL!
How long has this game been supposedly in production? 3 or 4 years?
I think that is all this game is..... talk..... until I see an official release date for it.
This is 2012...not 2009. We should have had something positive by now as far as a release date is concerned or at least a hint of something.
Oh well, maybe on the 12th of never.

Alright.

We all feel your frustration, webe. A lot of Taffers don't even bother to stop by this forum anymore due to sheer boredom from the lack of news of any kind.

Just wait. Pretty soon they'll tease us again with another grainy screenshot...and then go quiet for another year :(

You know with the great people that support this franchise and those on this forum that WOULD support a new thief game if it was any good and had a release date, it is sad that this game has gone dark.
Of course, don't tell that to the person that mods the thief 4 forum. According to that mod, anyone who thinks the game is slow to be released, must be wrong!
But from what I can tell ...that mod is wrong!
Anyone who thinks thief 4 is soon to be released must be dreaming.

Didn't most of the team responsible for Deus Ex:HR start on Thief 4 when the former went gold last summer? I'd expected them to save time by using the same engine, but DE:HR used a customised Crystal Dynamics engine while Thief 4 is supposed to be Unreal 3, so we might have to wait a while...

I don't know what is going on over there, but I had enough of it and left...as in requested that my account be deleted. I joined the Eidos forums before Thief 2 was released...but the level of censoring going on right now wasn't worth it. I've never felt the need to do that with any forum. I don't blame the Mods, they're just doing what has been asked of them...but clearly someone higher up has gotten it into their heads that blunt force trauma is the only way to quiet the dissatisfaction amongst the fan base over there. Heaven forbid they actually tried to be creative and re-establish some good will with the long time fans.

I agree NH. I stopped visiting those forums quite awhile ago after I got tired of the censoring and the puffed-up, self-grandizing, & condescending attitude of a certain mod-who-shall-remain-nameless-but-we-all-know-who-she-is. Also irritating was the repeated dangling of the proverbial carrot by that mod who's inferred she has a hotline to Very Important People @ EM and is in possession of information regarding T4 that only Very Special People are allowed to know. That could very well be true, but the patronizing manner in which those inferrences were made just made me grind my teeth.
I find EM's silence regarding T4 very disconcerting and not reassuring in the least. When Rene was our acting liaison with EM, at least we had a semblance of a clue and there was dialogue, but their latest rep seems either to have forgotten us here at TTLG, or had his fingers broken or something. Not encouraging at all, imo.

Rene's departure left a rather huge void.

I don't know if you mean Coyotegrey but he isn't a mod, he's EM's Community Manager and I don't recall him ever saying the game was soon to be released. His comment was, I quote:

Yes, we've remained quiet for a long time. Still, I assure you it's in development. If not, I have no idea what those people on the sixth floor are doing...
I liked the touch of humour in there. :joke:

I presume you are talking about me? It's okay to say my name. ;)
I disagree with all you say, of course. It's all exaggerated nonsense.
