Thief 4 (I refuse to write Thi4f because a 4 does not look like an e) was announced a while ago to much fanfare and rejoicing, but not much has been heard since then. To be fair the game was in a very early stage of production, but a bit of information here and there to keep us thinking about it wouldn't be too bad.
Well, speak of the devil! Here's Eidos Montreal boss Stephane D'Astous speaking about how far along the game is at this very moment. "The team is making leaps and bounds," he told IncGamers, adding later, "personally I have never seen a team, at this milestone (middle of pre-production) in such good shape!"
So there it is. Game is being worked on. It'll be here at some point. Move along. Nothing more to see here.

L4D works, cus 4 is for, hahaha, but 4 does NOT = E
so it's Thiaf? Pssh.
Still, I loved the Thief games. I thought they were really well done.
I dunno, I kinda prefer it with the 4. That and I don't have the official font.
Maybe we're pronouncing it wrong. Maybe it's supposed to say Thy (thi) Fourth (Four-f).
Can I sue Eidos for mental anguish? I will accept a free copy of the game as settlement for my pain and suffering.
CAN. NOT. WAIT.
Don't care about the name, just gimme gimme gimme.
though I don't know why I care- thief games were really not m y favorite- waaay too much stealth, it got really old
That being said, I haven't played a Thief game in FOREVER, but they were downright fantastic. I'm totally stoked for this game.
