Thief 4 leaked screenshots appear from the shadows

Most look more like artworks than screenshots. Having said that - it looks good, from what I'm seeing here.:)
 
I JIZZED IN MY PANTS :D :eek:

/begins installing all the thief's

@graal yeah dude that would spoil EVERYTHING.
 
I really really really want to play this. I loved the original series and I hope they focus on stealth heavily. That includes dem water arrows! Get in, steal, get out undetected. Look, I know there will be storyline and combat (which I am hoping to be robust) but sneaking games are awesome.
 
This is apparently from the Game Informer magazine.

Game Informer quotes:

Garrett has been away from his hometown for a long time. When he finally returns to the industrial complex known as The City, he discovers a city of melting prosperity. The region has come under rule of an iron-fisted Baron, who crushes his citizens under the boot of a militarized watch. Propoganda posters speak of prosperity, but this good fortune comes only to the elite. Garrett isn't interested in being the City's hero, but he'll use the political chaos as an opportunity to get rich.

Eidos was vague about how faithful it would remain to Thief's original lore, but did say that it would tone down many of the series' magical elements. Players won't likely encounter undead monsters or prowling dinosaurs as they did in the early Thief titles. However, Thief's concept art clearly shows that one of Garrett's eyes is a different color than the other, so it's possible that Eidos considers at least part of Garrett's original history as canon.

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.

Fuck you Eidos. Fuck you.

Thief: Absolution.
 
Colour me concerned. Thief...with a compound bow?

Me thinks they might be looking at assassins creed a hint too much. Lets hope its more Thief 2 than Thief DS.
 
Ugh, no. DS was way too dumbed down. Thief 2 is still the best in the series. Deadly Shadows wasn't a bad game, but Thief 2 just did everything so much better.

Yeah, no. After reading what Graal quoted from Game Informer it doesn't look like I'll be pre-ordering this. Dafuq is it with people having to have everything highlighted and pointed out to them.
 
I can deal with those things being in the game, but it sounds like using focus isn't optional. That bothers me.
 
Thanks dumb gamers who are always on about how much they love the 'hints' ...... this is the product, plenty games just coming out dumbed down from the get go. I was in a spin about this release, not at all now that I've read all that dumbed down shit.

On a side note - This helps me pirate shit with no conscience. I will pay for brilliance and innovation, this kak can jump.
