A movie reference from the writer of the article means the game is bad. Gotcha.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
When I bought my first PC in 1998, Thief 1 was the first game I played on it. I'm ready.

Don't we know that Eidos Montreal is working on a Wii U game?

in motion, a game always looks better.
This is going to be Agent 47 + Assassin's Creed.

That's not exactly concrete proof that Eidos Montreal is working on Deus Ex: HR, nor that it is coming to Wii U.
Unless you know more than you're telling us

A re rating like that means new platform a "game of the year" or some other such edition would be rated with whatever the new editions title would be.
It's already on PC, 360 and PS3 so unless we expect a Vita or IOS version (nobody in their right mind would) then it points to a WiiU version.
I thought Straight Right was doing that?

I thought so too, but it could be some sort of collaboration.
Seems neat. I do agree with the Dishonored connections. I know, I know, Dishonored tried to be the spiritial successor to Thief while also doing it's own thing, but literally everything that was mentioned in the OP's story segment is something straight out of that game. Though the gameplay will be the real difference, I'm interested in seeing how they adjust this series for today's audiences.
Valve's own Steambox is not a new platform in itself. To support it all a developer would need to do is support Linux; that is to say Steam itself is the platform, not the hardware.

Doesn't look very impressive for next gen, but who cares, it's Thief!
A bit disappointed at "less magical elements"; those were the best/scariest parts of Thief for me, but whatever.

It's to protect the site from getting cease and desist letters from magazine publishers.

When Square moved to buy Eidos, I thought to myself "...why? What do they even make anymore?" Turns out, it was the smartest fucking move they've made in years.
Pretty much every game that's come out of Eidos so far has been gold for them.
I'm starting to wonder if people actually understand what Steambox is.
True. I wish their Japanese arm would follow suit.
Those weren't rumors so much as Ion Storm's Thief 4.

Those two always seemed to be everywhere. It was adorable.
But don't you want to see Garrett in a hoodie with a duffel bag full of loot?

Although I've been burned by SE with Hitman Absolution I'm going full blackout on this one. That's how much I enjoyed Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

We had a long time ago the game beeing played on PS3:

With a leaked trailer: http://gematsu.com/2012/06/thief-4-30-second-trailer-leaked
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Jf-LG5lKK5E
But later we got the info that it was switched to next-gen:
http://www.computerandvideogames.com/362035/thief-4-switched-to-next-gen-consoles/
We are seeing a next-gen title with a last-gen engine (the same case with Witcher 3)
and here they are using Unreal Engine 3:

I hope they give us all the reasons to buy this game!

although it had those terribly splitted levels and weaker level design and story than its predecessors, I actually enjoyed thief 3 the most. thief is very much based on its atmosphere, and the real time shadows of thief 3 really made a difference here. I also did not enjoy the supernatural elements and dungeons in the series too much, and deadly shadows had the fewest of them and as far I remember the most castles/mansions, which are basically the backbone of thief games for me.
so, just like Human revolution, deadly shadows was a great game that made some things better and some things worse than its predecessor(s).
focus vision does not bother me at all, I have the deepest trust in eidos montreal that they will deliver a great game. although there are different people working on this game, eidos montreal has shown with human revolution that they understand the spirit of these great warren spector games (considered by many, and by me as well, to be among the top 10 games of all time) and are at least willing and in most aspects able to deliver the quality of those classics.
with witcher 3 and this, 2014 has the best chances the be one of the most amazing videogame years. I have trust.

Except that CD has come out and openly said that Witcher 3 has an engine switch approaching, have we heard anything like that about Thief?

A link to the posts in question would be appreciated.
Pretty much just /v/ being /v/. Casuals, Call of Duty audience, fear of anything modern, why me why me, etc.
Mark of the Ninja takes a piss on this notion. I hope Thief will at least be as good as that. I'm not getting my hopes up that itll match Dark Project or Metal Age.

Thank you.
Ah, such naivety. The question they should be asking is the game developed around those features and would turning them off make it a frustrating experience.
There are some exaggerated responses, but it's pretty level headed for the most part. Some genuine concern from ardent fans of the series. Can't say I particularly blame them after seeing how Hitman: Absolution, Splinetr Cell: Conviction and Deus Ex: Human Revolution turned out.
That's not a slight on Deus Ex. It's a good game for what it is and to it was always foolish to expect a new game in the mould of the first title. Still, can't help but wonder 'what if' and be somewhat disappointed that the games I grew up playing are now mere shells of what they used to be or are simply been lost to the ether.

Y'know I can see where the Dishonored comparisons are coming from in the sense that the screens show a bit of a Victorian flair to the architecture, guard uniforms, etc., whereas the prior games had more of a medieval and renaissance aesthetic (in combination with the magic and technology stuff, of course). My first impression from the screens was that the game was going to take place decades/centuries after the prior games, until we found out Garret was back.
Agreed, the zombies in Thief were no fun but I enjoyed them in Deadly Shadows and the creepy supernatural stuff really added to the atmosphere.
Really hope they're not ignoring or bending the lore like the summary in the OP implies might be the case. I want my Pagans and Hammerites back. No keepers though I guess

When I read this. I was excited like
Then... there's no /Wii U then I was sad like D:
Wii U is being left out again...
Why? You should know by now most people don't consider Wii U next gen.

Wait, I'm playing through Thief Gold right now and isn't the quest arrow similar to the compass in the first game? There's no point of the game where this hand-holding compass seems disabled, and I pretty much use the compass to stick to the critical path.

/v/ is hyper-reactionary. They hate everything as you can not talk about video games without being called a "viral marketer". Unless you shit all over the game, you're a viral marketer. But usually /v/'s fears turn out right.
Slightly better quality scans have come up.
The game really reminds me of that 2004 Unreal Engine 3 tech demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrkVuc_FxCI&t=1m0s

nope it isn't, I too hope and believe that we will see the demo in E3, I mean Gameinformer saw a demo that was pretty cool from what I read, and it is releasing in 2014, so E3-2013 FTW.
