Thi4f?  Finally, Driv3r has been outdone in the pantheon of stupid titles!  How will Atari respond?

Take it not to hold our breath on that Kane And Lynch 2 video review =P
Goody gumdrops for new Thief/Hitman games however!

Do you think anyone's pointed out to them that a 4 looks more like an A than an E?

THIAAAAAAAAAF!

Fuck y4s, I can't wait to st4al som4 stuff from mor4 rich p4opl4!

Rather dumb title, but looking forward to future Kane & Lynch coverage, wanna see how tongue in cheek it can get!

I never played Thi1f, Thi2f, or Thi3f but maybe I'll get into Thi4f...?

To be completely honest I've been boycotting Eidos since 2007. I'm fucking done with there bullshit & bullshit games.

NICE! I loved Thief: Deadly Shadows, so this should be awesome...

Hopefully for the Kane & Lynch sequel they'll make a game that doesn't suck balls... Really, the very least I'm hoping for in Kane & Lynch 2 is improved controls, so the awesome heist multiplayer mode will actually play good.

Never been a massive fan, but to be fair never truly gave the series a chance. 

Thief is a great series, I can't wait for the new installment.

This is a cool announc4m4nt. The thi4f gam4s ar4 cool. Also, th4 4 in th4 middl4 of th4 nam4 is 4xtrem4ly stupid. It's 4v4n mor4 stupid than th4 thr44 in Driv3r.

Ah, it's good to see that they're continuing with it even after being bought by Square Enix.

I never played the old thief games but really wanted to. I'll check the review here before I get this. I also can't wait for the Kane & Lynch 2 review.

I might finally check out this series

Hitman, awesome!

Thi4f? lol reminds me of TREY 4 Li4E

At least Driv3r kind of made sense. 4 doesn't really look like an E.

Thi4f. Excited. Yes. Want.

I bet Jeff is excited about another Kane & Lynch game being made.

It's been so long why can't they just go with Thief?  Hope they get this right.

I would be more confident if they had called it Thief 3. That would mean they know they fucked up with Deadly Shadows... Do they?

so, T9mb Raider, Hitm5n and Kane 2 Lynch confirmed?

Jeff don't review Kane and Lynch I want you to keep your job.

That would mean they know they fucked up with Deadly Shadows... Do they?"

YES YES YES!...YES!

Agreed that Thief 3 would be better for a purist like myself (Deadly Shadows wasn't really a "Thief" game to me, still a good game though)

Placing that 4 there looks retarded. It's like spelling it Thiaf for crying out loud.

Bad logo, Good game. 
(hopefully)

Thiaf 4? Seriously though, looking forward to this.

Wheres a new Legacy of Kain game in all of this?

Wow, I honestly thought that the Thief IP was dead and gone. If I remember correctly, the last game was pretty mediocre. More importantly, I wonder if another journalist will lose his job over the next Kane & Lynch?

I wonder if the first 3 thiesf games were any good?

I'm optimistic, but I think it's just the buzz of the possibility of a new Thief game.  Wasn't as big a fan of the third one for various reasons.

Argh, why did they try to promote it with the Se7en thing, though?

Love this series hope the do something abit wild for 4. This was the first proper stealth game i played the thing that stood out for me was the steam punk elements.

THIEF THIEF THIEF THIEF
THIEF THIEF ^2
Totally THIEF! Totally Party!

All superior to THI4F.

I can't wait to see what a new generation Thief would look like, its been so long. Though yeah, THI4F looks bat-shit retarded, sort it out you silly beasts!

I'm a little excited for this. Loved the second instalment but didn't play much of the third.

Ridiculous title too. Just by doing that they have lost a small amount of my interest.

I love the Thief games (see icon), with Thief 2 being one of my all time favorites. I was a bit disappointed with Thief 3 so I haven't gotten my hopes up for this yet, and they really should change the logo. But, I am excited. And even if Thief 4 doesn't turn out great there's always the excellent Thief fan mission community (still waiting on the Dark Mod).

Edit: Media_Master, the first two were great, the first being one of the pioneers in the stealth genre (it came out in that golden year 1998). The third one wasn't that great, except for a couple interesting levels.

Thiaf? Really?

Yes! The part of this news story I really care about is A NEW HITMAN! *tears shirt off and spins it around* WOOOOOO!!!1!1one

Another Thief is actually really good. Deadly Shadows was great. And another Kane and Lynch should be....dramatic.

Ok, that's nice. Apparently Thief 1 and 2 were pretty good back in the day, but I have yet to find out for myself. Looking at this game with moderate interest.

New Hitman eh? hopefully they improve on Blood Moneh.

Bad title aside, I am really looking forward to see how this turns out.

I could totally see a Thief game done with the Assassins' Creed engine.  The games are fairly similar in terms of mechanics and scope, and AC never had any night levels, so it would be a good contrast.  The big issue will be how the stealth is handled, since stealth ain't all that anymore.  Thief 1 was among the first stealth games, and back then the whole idea of putting out torches with water arrows was novel and fresh, but over ten years later the last thing I want to do is put out torches and follow dudes as they path through shadows.

The big pain was your guy wasn't really capable of defending himself very well.  So taking on more than one dude was pretty much a reset since you couldn't survive.  Making the game closer to AC and having the ability to fight off multiple dudes would make the game less of a trial and error game that those were.  I'm not saying make it an action title where you don't care if you're seen or not, but a fine balance between stealth and action with more room for experimentation on getting to your objective would a new Thief game desirable.  I'd prefer it be 3rd person as well, like AC, FPS stealth is not very fun since all you have to know you're hidden is some stupid meter.  Doing it 3rd person means something a little more subtle like a faint outline or different hue on your guy would work.

As for the other series mentioned, Hitman hasn't been good in a while, but if made a little less trial and error it would work.  I'd like to see it have a make your own guy feature, since he never had any personality anyway, why force him to be a generic bald guy.

Corporate bullshit aside, Kane & Lynch was a good idea done poorly.  It was rushed to go up against a game that ended up being delayed anyway (Army of Two), it was far overhyped, it needed a solid 6 months of polish, and the story was just too dark for even the most hardcore gangta to like.  It had a few moments of genuine fun in it, some of which still hold up compared to other games' attempts at similar scenarios.

I'd like to see that game done right, the team is capable of far more (Freedom Fighters) and if was done to that games level of greatness it would be a nice way of making up for that shitstorm.  Besides, at this point I think Jeff would agree getting fired from GS was the best thing that happened to him.  Now he's the boss of a great site that makes relics like GS a dinosaur in terms of web-centric portals.

New Kane and Lynch game?!

I've never played any of the Thief games but, I've always wanted to try them.

What is that? A pretentious clan name?
