'Thief' is that you? Eidos Montreal project begins with 'T'

While Eidos Montreal continues to turn out code that will eventually become Deus Ex 3, the studio has apparently found enough time to work towards a second project, something beginning with the letter "T." Of course, Tomb Raider is the obvious conclusion, but that series is well in hand at Eidos studio Crystal Dynamics, leaving us scratching our heads wondering just what the Montreal devs could be up to.

One possible conclusion is Thief, a series that has lurked in the shadows since 2004's Ion Storm-developed second sequel Thief: Deadly Shadows, and while this is enough to get us excited to find out more, the project could just as easily be a game based on Tiny Toons...which come to think of it would be pretty cool too.

T = tooth brush, as in virtual brushing your teeth on the Wii. Still excited?

Shh! Don't give them any ideas!

Actually, at the board meeting they decided on the name "Wii Brush".

Hmmm... I might kinda drool... but I kinda feel like Thief was a nicely contained trilogy. It was in three distinct, but linked acts that took the whole franchise full circle.

I love the setting. I love the style. I love the gameplay. I love the characters.

But I'm not sure the story needs another thief game.
Though maybe if they did a spinoff, or a prequel or something it'd be pretty cool. A new main character with garrett as a mentor or something?

But can I just say one word: Thundercats!

DUDE Tiny Toons Adventures 800! Awesome!

JRM: Apr 4th 2008; 11:34AM

That's all good and fine, but I'm through with EIDOS.

Yeah, GLaDOS is so much better anyways.

Thief is terribly underrated.

jsutcliffe: Apr 4th 2008; 11:53AM

By who? The thief series has always had massive acclaim, and rightly so!

Gah, sorry for double-posting, but claims need to be backed up:

Yeah, fair enough, I just feel like they don't get talked about much. I think Bioshock, for example, seems to be taking a lot of credit for things that Thief games have been doing for years.

Must want new Thief game!! Some of the best games i've ever played have been in the Thief series.

Martez: Apr 4th 2008; 12:09PM

I'd approve of a new Thief. I'd also approve of a graphically-sexy remake ala Half Life Source.

'T'=Tits. Wii sex simulator CONFIRMED.

Shhhhh! Don't let Jack Thompson find out!

I didn't get around playing the newest Thief but the first two rank up there as two of the best games I've ever played.

I'd welcome a new one, hopefully if it does come it gets released on consoles as well.
