Thief 4 (aka Thi4f)

Haven't played the games, but I don't get why people keep saying open world would be awful. :T That's like my favorite kind of game.

Why is Garret wearing a corset?

Why is smoke coming from his eye? Man I hope they aren't going to give him some smoke teleport power like Dishonored.

Excerpts from the Game Informer article:

"In previous Thief games, Garrett used a rope arrow to reach high points. Now he has the Claw, a throwable grapple that attaches to certain points in the environment and allows Garrett to get out of sight quickly."

"Focus lights up the screen and highlights pipes you can climb or candles you can put out to darken the room. As you upgrade your Focus you will get a bigger radius of things to see. We have a fingerprints system that will give you hints on which drawers are worthwhile to look in. Every drawer in the room is accessible, but you use your Thief skills like CSI to figure out where the valuables are."

So...Arkham Asylum

Also the article says its a Reboot. And its removing most of its magical aspects. Its now just called, surprise surprise, Thief.

Also, yuck, there's going to be Takedowns.

Stuff in the Game Informer preview.

So did they dump the gem that shows how well you're hidden?

I hope the final title isn't Thi4f. That's a terrible title. I'm going to be honest, I'm not liking the sound of this. I'll keep an eye out for it anyway, but meh.

I hope nobody gets to thinking that this is a Dishonored clone.

There were people who thought Fallout 3 was a Bio Shock ripoff because of the 60's art deco aesthetic. -_-

Too late. Some people have already said it.

Looks like they're dumping the Keepers.

Officially for PC and next-gen consoles.

I guessed right a year ago.

A lot of experimentation. One was even an Assassins Creed style game. Blech.
