Thief 4 pushed to next-gen - Report

I am glad i own a PC! I don´t get the hype about consoles! 

I suppose the fact that the game is being prepared for next-gen consoles doesn´t mean it won´t play in older console versions? 

" Thief 4 pushed to next-gen " This is complete and utter bullsh*t

If they leave this to only be played on the next generation they will kill the franchise. If it is not compatible with the 360 I sure won't go out and buy some new next generation counsel that will be buggier than crap. And this whole cloud thing is a joke also. They should redo the old versions of Thief in HD to be played on the older counsels.

Having the some of the most important staff members leaving is very crippling towards the project's completion.  I could wait even longer than a year for the next installment to the Thief series.  I'd rather wait for some quality thieving, you taffers.

They should re-release Thief Gold in HD

'as early as next year' ...they've really been burning the midnight oil on this haven't they seeing it was announced 3 1/2 years ago.  If it's really released late next year after (then) 4  1/2 years of development it should be the game of the decade.  Any bets?

If they were smart they would re-release the original with better graphics on modern machines.  Nice big revenue from all of us old fans getting to replay these classics in their modern form.   Of course, continuing the franchise with a killer Thief4 would also rock...

I am not buying a next gen counsel. They are talking make them all pay to play. Screw that.

They need to get going three years since it was announced they should have something to look at by now.

Well that's good news!It means they won't need to cut content/scale down levels to fit the current console generation.Should be a great PC game :) 

Thief was a great series, I loved it and when Assassin's Creed came out I was disappointed because I kinda thought it might be kinda like a Thief sequel but of course it wasn't.  Nowadays I don't trust game co's to actually stay true to the spirit of a franchise so who knows how it will eventually be, but I think Hitman will be a good indicator.  If Hitman: Absolution turns out to be similar to the old games and not a sell out, AND it sells well, AND people actually play it in stealthy way and like it, then maybe that will prove that there are enough gamers out there that still like stealth gameplay, with little or no kills, avoiding combat, etc.

I really hope this game is released on pc.

I hope they make another Thief, it's father of Stealth games imo

That's okay, We need to start hearing more on next-gen games anyways.

Nooooooooooooooooo

I love this game.

Seriuosly; I believe that Assassins creed has taken a lot of IDEAS from this game!!!

noo I just bought the 360 finally was able to afford it damn it . At least Assassin's creed III and RE 6 and hopfully Hitman and Tomb Raider will not be next gen 

Did'nt see this coming.............

So did they just say the new consoles will be out by next year when nothing has been announced at all regarding that? I am sure the devs know more than we do, but I won't ever believe a date for the next gen untill I hear from Sony/MS themselves. Screw speculation and these pointless predictions.

Nooooooooooooo I just want to play this.  I'm currently replaying through thief 2 thanks to a steam summer deal and man I miss this series so much.  

I wanna use frogbeast eggs now! TAFFERS!!! 

The hell with next gen. I'm still catching up and enjoying this gen. It will probably be another 2 - 3 years IF I decide to purchase a next gen console. Even then, backwards compatibility and using physical media with no DRM or always online crap is a must for me to even consider purchase.

And this is why I hate consoles.  We could have had Thief 4 by now were it not for consoles...*sigh* It'll probably be another 2 years now...  :(

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO this can only mean one thing T_T Good bye thief it was a good run T_T

thank you! i cant wait for the next gen console. id like to play a battlefield game with 64 players or more on consoles!

anyway i love the thief series. deadly shadows was amazing and i cant wait for this one.

so... how is the title pronounced? "Thifouref"?

So.. do the companies wanting to ship 'next-gen' games release them early on PC and then later on the newer consoles, or do us PC gamers have to wait for the console ki--er, folk, to get their new systems?

Consoles still hold PCs back no matter what anyone says.  The multi-platform games released today still look like the ones released 4 years ago. Has the original Crysis been topped? NOPE!

I would love improved games; just shaft this current generation already.

These stinking taffers almost completely killed my mellow for this upcoming title. They bes badsies for startsies such rumors. Manfools.

"Thief 4 is a next-gen game, according to the latest rumor."

RUMOR RUMOR!

STOP TRYING TO FORCE NEXT GEN BEFORE THE TIME !!!

STOP THE RUMORS! you game journalist or should I say FANBOYS allways start of those rumors to push the industry! 

Another fake and untrue news :)

i dont think we will see nex gen consoles until they can build a box that will run the unreal 4 engine amongst others for under $400. i think they already have all the features they want for their boxes except the rite chip at the rite price.

I'm not that surprised that this project is in trouble. If you've followed the series closely there really is no reason for a fourth game. It has never felt necessary and its never been justified by the developers. Why was this being made, particularly when the pure stealth genre has become a non-existent category for gamers of this generation? Thief can only be played one way: there are no stealth kills, no cover system. Hearing that those artists left that long ago, it doesn't bode well for the game's design at all.
