A while ago I heard from a friend of a brother of a friend who works at Eidos Montreal that said Thief 4 was about to be cancelled because the producers didn't like the quality of what was developed. I'm surprised it's still in development but really looking forward to this if it's actually coming out being a big Thief fan.

Call of Thi4very: Modern Lootfare.

All kidding (hopefully) aside, multiplayer could add an interesting component to the game. I imagine a team of thieves trying to steal as much loot as possible while a team of guards try to stop them. Or a free-for-all thief match where competing thieves try to steal the most valuable items before the others do.

'To me', it looks like a 'Left4Dead me too product' with bad cartoon/comic book style character/color additions.

What? It's a story-driven, single-player game where you play as a single character who has both guns and demonic tentacles. The co-op mode is just a bonus, likely tacked on because publishers demand that all games have co-op these days.

I can only confirm this. The Darkness (I) at least had really nothing with L4D in common, except both being first-person-view shooters...

This is unique, very dark and atmospheric story-driven single-player game with many cool moments and some great ideas (like the immortal end-boss without going into further details to spoil the scene).

Co-op? Not interested, this should be enjoyed as a pure single-player game.

Day time is fine, it is just the night time that is SO DARK; I guess to be more realistic.

Well, yeah, that's kinda the whole point. If you don't have a flashlight or night vision goggles, you probably shouldn't wander around at night.

the night time lighting being SO DARK. From what I have read in the forums and such, is that it is supposed to be that dark; however, IT IS DARK.

As an aside, darkness in a game can usually be adjusted in the game's graphics menu, under brightness or gamma. As a last resort, a graphics card driver often has settings that can override the game's brightness and/or gamma. So regardless of how dark the game is supposed to be, if you want it to be brighter, its likely possible for you to do that.

WoW, loving EA more than evar! After two hours on hold I was hung up on or disconnected. I'm going to wait to see if he calls me back before I contact another EA Rep. Got to love it. What a way to spend your day off, right?

I own stalker but haven't played it much more than a couple hours.

Someone posted this link in another thread to Stalker Complete
Its a mod that improves a lot things on the game, mostly graphics.
The description excites me:

It was designed by professional graphic artists with rich experience in the field, following industry standards for creating interactive 3D environments. It features artistic works and modifications from many community members unified under one art direction.
[...]
Natural lighting, vast panoramic views, depth of field, parallax mapping, SSAO, over 900 reworked texture files, including vehicles and armor suites with manual bump editing, you won't believe it's the same game.

And thats just part of the stuff listed.

I'm thinking of using that for my first time playthrough.
