Thief 4 is currently in the weird position new installments of series sometimes fall into: we know that it exists, officially, and that's about it as far as details go. It's also awkwardly named "Thi4f," unless Eidos finally came to its senses and told no one.
The schedule for GDC 2011 has been posted, and as spotted by NeoGAF, there's a talk by the name of "Stealing Sound: Generative Music in THIEF." Not enough? Here, have a sampling of the description.
"Innovative audio has been at the heart of the original THIEF titles and Eidos Montreal's new THIEF is no exception, this presentation will mark the first time that the game has been spoken about publicly."

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

In all seriousness, though, I am excite. Not as much as I am for the new Deus Ex, but pretty damn excite to hear this coming back into the news, even if they have yet to lose the godawful name.
Copier.
The Thief games have a certain way of approaching stealth that somehow feels right (in a game). I can't think of another game of a similar nature where I spend so much time analyzing my route from afar and then carrying out that said path with just the same amount of caution and care.
Placebic as it may be, nothing beats that feeling. :)
Anyway, generative music, eh? I'm intregway'd.
Still, I don't know what all the fuss is about this generative music. Michael Land and Peter McConnell were doing this ages ago at LucasArts with iMuse and it was and still is fucking awesome.
Impersonators are old news, pal. Get a life!(c)Terry Bogard
Anyway, "generative music" sounds like a new way to say "tracker-based music" or something else resembling the iMUSE from 1991. This isn't anything new but I'm very happy to see interactive music techniques still being used today.
What about Hitman?
And now I feel the urge to fire up Blood Money. :)
please make a option to play full 3rd person in Human Revolution and make Legacy of Kain Nier style with more darker than it's previous iterations.
If you really want to know what's the fuss about just check the first one (Thief: The Dark Project), or see the fan made missions here: http://www.thief-thecircle.com/missions/ They're still making these, after 12 years!
Or just see this lovely intro to one of the greatest Thief levels ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc9KbM5N850
