I would say this

Thief 1:
PRO"S
Overall better story
Overall better cutscenes
More creative
Way more intense thank T2
thrilling
could and should be made into a movie ;)
Hammers are difficult to kill

CONS
too much use of undead
not enough use of keepers (glifs are not enough)
unrealistic environments
poorer graphics
missions too short

Tief 2:

PRO"S
Good graphics
more realistic
more humans
more emphisis on stealth (just being a thief)
a good story
Could be made into a good movie
a good twist in the story
More area's for FM"S to be done

CONS:
not enough ways to kill those god damn machines...
mechanist humans too easy to kill
more flaws
had chemical/biological weapons
"all should hear the words of karras, the words of karras"
left you haning on two points 1. are the mechs gonna survive? 2 are the bluecosts gonna be a factor again?
"praise karras"
karras's voice" (it annoyed me after a while how about you?)

This may be because I played TMA first, but now that I played a good bit of TG, I decided that I liked TMA better...They both have their good and bad points.

-In TG, I noticed that the levels are 'cozier' and they have more places to be explored, as well as more oppertunities for climbing rooftops.
-The zombies scared me at first until I realized how cool it was when they exploded (provided I had space to move and the right equipment)
-'The Sword' looked like something out of American McGee's Alice and it was really cool.
-I really thought the levels up to 'The Lost City' were easy and didn't require too much stealth (probably because I played it on Normal Difficulty)
-TG maps flat-out SUCK
-Most of the levels beat out most of those in TMA as far as size went and they seemed to make me try to figure out my own way through them instead of being subtly directed with a fairly straight path
-The textures didn't impress me very much and rope arrows are a little buggy

-TMA puts a greater emphasis on stealth and the robots add to this. The guards seem a little more alert and have peripheral (?) vision.
-Until I became an expert at shooting water arrows into their vents, the robots proved to be terrifying
-Luckily, undead mostly protected areas with extra and optional loot
-The levels had a darker feel and were more realistic, they also had better textures that blended well
-'The Lost City' wasn't as good here. It felt empty
-I liked the ambient sound a little better

I dont want to declare which I like better,
I totally loved Thief II, I though everything was just done a little bit better than Thief Gold.
But Thief DP / Gold, has a some special character I just cant forget,
It's like choosing between a Shiraz and a Merlot, or PE's Nation of millions and Fear of a Black Planet ;)

I think they will. But it will be more of a discussion on wasted oportunities and the error of cross-platform development in the days of under powered consoles. The next (and next) gen consoles may present a more reasonable proposition for that kind of development.

And when the editor comes out it will spawn much to be discussed for everymore. Depending on what we can do with it . . .
