Sorry Mr. jtr7, sir. :o
And I didn't know what to say about the medieval thing, because it's not in the future or the present, but in the past. I don't know what the time Thief is set in is called.
No problem, really.
Thief is set in the year ??
34 (BC? AD? Before or after what event?), in a world that isn't ours, but borrows from ancient Egypt and Greece, the Mayans, Old England, and Europe in general from the 1300's to the 2000's, with an emphasis on the Industrial Age, Victorian Age, Renaissance, Dickensian London, Baroque, etc., and a lot of late 1800s to early 1900s. It ain't historical, but it's closer to modern. Just as one can go to Europe and see structures from ancient times to ones made just this year, all together in one cityscape, so is The City. Old-style doesn't mean it doesn't exist today. Old materials and structures persisting and used into the present. :) It borrows from Blade Runner, From Hell, City of Lost Children, H.P. Lovecraft's works, Umberto Eco, Jack Vance, and the master of strange fantasy, Fritz Leiber. There's tons more, like Babylon 5, Robin Hood, Frankenstein....

Sometimes, giving a series to an entirely new team can give it a fresh lease on life.
Yep, taffer. Sometimes. Generally, I'm according.
But for Thief...
Maybe there are... 0.001% chances that they do keep the City's athmosphere as fascinating...
I alredy was extremely disappointed by T3. Weren't you?
Now... I don't even feel like buying T4.

We know it's possible, Renz', and has happened for other things, but I can't believe it's likely, and will only hope for the best, without denying probability.
If it blows the other games out of the water, it will still be too different. TDS was like a cousin to the brothers--too different even though it shared DNA. Thief 4? The hip new brother-in-law that likes to show off all his electronic gizmos?

Sometimes, giving a series to an entirely new team can give it a fresh lease on life. Sometimes. I'm hoping this will be the case with Thief 4.
Though I do wish they would at least get Eric Brosius back onboard for the sound. The new guy, whoever he is, has alot to live up to.
I was thinking this as well. It doesn't really matter how good the gameplay is, if the audio isn't up to Brosius' absurdly high standards (as an enthusiast of the genre I still consider Brosius among the best; certainly comparable to the "real artists" that do it for a living) then the atmosphere just won't be the same. And in Thief, atmosphere is the reason everyone still plays it long after we've learned all its tricks.
