It seems that Eidos Montreal -- currently working on Deus Ex 3 -- is gearing up to announce their second project soon. How do we know? Because it posted an image on its Web site that says they're going to announced their second project soon. How about that?
But what could it be? The Internet has speculated, and they've come to the conclusion that it could possibly be the long-awaited (once in production, then canceled) Thief 4. There is, however, some confusion. One user on the Through The Looking Glass forums is positive that the font used for the teaser is the "classic" Thief-series font, Carleton Regular. (Of course!) Another user, quite frankly, just doesn't see it.
Compelling evidence, to be sure. More compelling, however, is an old Eidos Montreal job listing that stated the developer was "proud to announce the recruitment for our 2nd 'AAA' project … A hint! The title begins with the letter 'T'.”
Oh, E3. You can't come soon enough.
[Thanks, Derek!]

In Thief 1-2, your cash and items didn't carry over (you couldn't horde), so there was constant incentive to find as much loot as you could and make full use of your items in every stage. I hope the developers understand this.
Then there's the AI with at least 5 levels of awareness... Man, I would love a new Thief game, but it feels like so much could go wrong that the prospect scares me :)
I'd prefer that the amount of items you take be limited rather than never carried over, so you'd have to choose a proper "loadout" for a given job.
If there were changes to the formula they would be best left in the acrobatics department. I doubt a new Thief would sell as a pure FPS, so a Thief with as-good sneaking mechanics and the mobility of Assassin's Creed it'd truly kick ass.
Poor Looking Glass Studios, if I knew how Ion Storm was going to fuck up your Thief 3 I would have done something sooner...
@Chronic Logic: I've generally always stuck to the same three weapons (arrows, moss arrows, water arrows) in Thief anyways, so the lack of new stuff didn't really bother me.
@lastdual: A loadout system would be nice, too.
Moving onto important matters, Ken Levine + System Shock 3? Please EA? PLEASE?
Lay it to rest Eidos, and let us enjoy out Thief 1, 2 and 2X.
