Looks stunning for a launch title on next generation hardware.
I'm surprised so many people are claiming it doesn't look good or looks current generation. Wipes the floor with a lot of current generation games in my opinion. Looks stunning visually.

Right, that much is definitely true.
They have leaks and hiring documents from way back then, the game was definitely being worked on at least a little bit that far back.

While this certainly doesn't look next gen, a new Thief is a new Thief. I'll take it where I can get it.

Looks tasty...
Can't wait... had a hell of a time with Thief 1.
Indeed... it is funny. Next gen is not about screenshots (scans from magazine even). Some of you people should leave this hobby. Seriously.

Garret has that mechanical eyeball so it makes sense in context.
An assassin is just a thief who steals your life instead of your riches.
Also, empty UI would be nice. Put the light gem on his arm or something.
Looks good enough. More anxious to hear about mechanics, though. With so many recently revived, older franchises being shadows of their former selves, I'm fairly skeptical about how Thief 4 will turn out. Hopefully this will be closer to a Deus Ex:HR than a Hitman: Absolution.
As for the comparisons to Dishonored, it's not surprising. Thief was among the games that came to mind when I first saw Dishonored.

It's not so much that (for me at least) as it is the point that Pachter made: the leap isn't so immediately obvious in a screenshot. That's going to be a bit of a challenge in selling new consoles. How much remains to be seen.
To be clear, I'm not down on it for looks - to the contrary, I'm really excited about the game, and the other improvements that next gen tech should offer that don't show in screenshots (and that are much harder to market).
I've played them all and still got Dishonored on my mind when I saw the screens.

Looks like a current gen game on PC. Not terribly excited for that.
Sure, though originally all his mechanical eye did was allow him to zoom, I think Deadly Shadows added nightvision as well though.

Once people see the new gen games in MOTION on big TVs they will notice the difference. There will be no escape
Because graphics always made Thief good.

Human Revolution was fantastic ^_^

Why? You only care about graphics? What about the prospect (as unlikely as it is) of playing a game like Thief 2 but evolved?
Didn't you know? Dishonored was the first first person stealth game ever.

Hmm...I wanna see some darker environments.
Everything's a bit too well lit for my taste.

Decent AA? Some good IQ? Probably too much to ask for from a next gen game.
The brothel and the guard's hat look EXACTLY like Dishonored. The exterior shots look more like Deadly Shadows though.
Well it's pretty much a given, you're a thief.. not a killer. so hopefully stealth all the way.

So i guess it's from PC version?Well, I can help a bit here
There is nothing new (apart of the screens, of course). This site mentions X720 because it using this old article as a source for additional information. And mentioned community page only tells about "next-gen" release in 2014 without further details.
Interesting, how did they get these screens...
If you guys think they are releasing a "AAA" game with a 4 year dev cycle only on next gen consoles then you are foolish beyond belief. There is no way they'd make their money back off the incredibly limited user bases you'll see for the first year or so.
It'll be "cross-gen", just like every major announced game will be for the next while.

Who knows, but I'm thrilled that it's not. The original games were obviously first person while the third game had an option for a third person camera (thankfully optional).
OK, I'm baffled by this post.
The textures in the shot which you posted are very high resolution and appear razor sharp. What else are you looking for?
The cobblestones are clean and sharp, the details on the player glove are fantastic, and everything looks coherent. Where on earth do you see the need for higher resolution textures?

Looks good, you can tell dev shifted from current to next gen though.
Hopefully level design and loading aren't too hampered by this.

I expect it will be a lot like Deus Ex: HR with 1st/3rd person camera switching, but primarily in 1st person.

Never played a Thief game, but this looks cool.

I imagine you can switch between them like Deadly Shadows.
You could switch between them in Deadly Shadows right?
Or am I remembering wrong.
No, that's a thief.

Looks great to me. It may sound stupid but I like how the hands appear to be interacting with the world realistically in first person.

I wish DE:HR had a blue filter instead.
