Thief (2014)

[privateer]

Eidos-Montréal is excited to unveil its previously secret second title in development at the studio, Thief 4, the next instalment in the legendary series.

 

The original Thief game, Thief: The Dark Project redefined first person gaming and established an entirely new genre of stealth based game play. The critically and commercially acclaimed Thief series has won numerous awards and accolades including GameSpy Hall of Fame, GameSpot Greatest Games of All Time and The Academy of Interactive Arts And Sciences Outstanding Achievement in Character and Story Development.

 

Eidos-Montréal, which is also currently producing the much anticipated Deus Ex 3, has recruited the very best core team for the development of Thief 4. The team is comprised of industry veterans who have worked on an incredible collection of AAA titles and who each bring personal expertise in their respective fields.

 

“We’re in the early development stages for Thief 4, but this is an incredibly ambitious and exciting project for Eidos,” said Stéphane D’Astous, General Manager at Eidos-Montréal. “While it’s too early for us to offer any specific game details, right now we are focused on recruiting the very best talent to join the core team at the studio and help us make what we believe will be one of the most exciting games on the market.”

 

Development is under way and the team is looking to recruit the very best talent as production ramps up. If you are a world-class developer looking to join the talented Thief 4 team, visit www.eidosmontreal.com to submit your résumé or www.thief4.com to join the community discussion.

Πιστεύω ότι καλό ήταν να τέλειωνε στο 3, μιας και έκλεισε ο κύκλος με τον τερματισμό του.

 

Αναρωτιέμαι τι θα κάνουν τώρα.

Μια ιδέα που ακούγεται πολύ τον τελευταίο καιρό, είναι να φέρουν τον Garrett στην σημερινή εποχή. Modern Thief κοινώς, με ότι κι αν συνεπάγεται αυτό!

[Tuko]

ΣΟΥΠΕΡ ΝΕΑ!!!!!

 

Το σύγχρονη εποχή John2 δε θέλω ούτε να το σκέφτομαι βασικά...αλλά μη λέμε μεγάλα λόγια χωρίς να δούμε τι παίζει..

[john2gr]

Όσοι έχουν παίξει το Thief - Deadly Shadow, ξέρουν ότι η ιστορία του Garrett ολοκληρώθηκε.

 

Επίσης το Thief4 βρισκόταν στα σχέδια της Ion Storm... προτού κλείσει. Τώρα αν έχει σχέση το νέο Thief με το concept που είχε σκεφτεί η Ion, μόνο η Eidos το ξέρει.

 

Από τους ίδιους τους devs της Ion Storm:

 

Basically Thief 4 was going to be a retelling of the original games, except set in modern times. It would have modern versions of the same characters from the old games, who's roles would have been translated to modern day parallels. Some of the old maps were going to make a reappearance as well. To be clear, it was not going to be anything like Splinter Cell or similar games. Garrett wasn't going to be turned into a James Bond type of guy with a bunch of gadgets or anything like that. He would still be the dark, sarcastic loner who uses his own skills and ingenuity to do his thieving, not gadgets. I don't think we were even going to let the player use a gun, just simple tools and weapons. The art direction would have been similar to the steampunk from the previous games, just translated to modern times, with the same crowded and dilapidated city streets and such. I guess the Silent Hill series is the closest reference I can think of for what we had in mind for looks, but it would have been pretty different from that too. We were going to somewhat modify the "rules" of the modern world to make them more conducive to the Thief-type stealth game also, and not necessarily realistic. There wouldn't be light switches that anyone can just turn on to reveal you, the enemies wouldn't all have machineguns, there wouldn't be lasers, etc. Basically we were going for a very similar type of gameplay to the original series, just in a twisted steampunkish modern setting.

It was only in pre-production for about two months before the Ion Storm "end times" began, so the concept never got much more fleshed out than this, but that's basically what it would have been.

It would have used the same engine as T3, but we were hoping it would be optimized a bit more and get some new features.

Thief 4 Developer Interview

 

Today's announcement of Thief 4 has been a long time coming, so we had plenty of time to plan our break in of the Eidos-Montreal castle to see what they were up to. Then we changed our minds and realised it'd be much easier to just ask Stéphane D'Astous, the general manager at Eidos-Montreal, all about the game...

GDC Canada: Eidos Montreal Talks Thief 4

 

Could the stealth franchise see its next sequel on a next-gen console?

 

In February 2007 an ailing Eidos announced that it would embark on a three-year plan to found a Montreal studio that would house three brand-new development teams. The fledgling office would be tasked with creating new AAA titles that would help lead the company back into its rightful place as one of the world's premier videogame developers.

 

It's no easy task, but it's one that the new studio's General Manager, Stephane D'Astous, seems up to. We sat down with the energetic D'Astous at the inaugural Game Developers Conference: Canada in Vancouver this week to talk about Eidos' ambitious plan as it relates to the global company's newest big game announcement: Thief 4...

Eidos: Thief 4 coming along in “leaps and bounds”

 

Eidos has told IncGamers that development on Thief 4 is coming along in “leaps and bounds”.

 

“Let me reassure you that the team is making leaps and bounds,” Eidos Montreal bossman Stephane D’Astous told the site. “Personally i have NEVER seen a team, at this milestone (middle of pre-production) in such good shape!”

 

D’Astous added that fans of the franchise “will NOT be disappointed with Thief 4.”

 

Does this mean it will be out in 2010? Possibly be revealed at E3?

 

One can dream.

Ψήνομε να παο E3 φέτος LA τον ιούνιο...το μονο πρόβλημα είναι πως την κάνω από το στρατόπεδο

[EKTELESTES]

Το καλό με το Thief 4 είναι ότι οι developers ζητάνε τη γνώμη των οπαδών της σειράς και φαίνεται να δίνουν μεγάλο βάρος σ' αυτό ^^

No Thief 4 Appearance At E3, Eidos Montreal Fully Dedicated To Deus Ex

 

Eidos Montreal has told Connected Consoles that the studio is fully dedicated to upcoming title Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and that Thief 4 will not be making an appearance at the E3 conference.

 

We spoke to the studio - who are set to reveal a new trailer for Human Revolution very soon - who told us: "Our studio is completely dedicated to Deus Ex at the moment".
