any fans of the Thier series on here? I remember playing the game waay before considering mysely a "casual" gamer. Im thinking of buying deadly shadows on steam but $20 is alot of money for such an old game and I dont any gamestops where I live so im forced to digitally buy most of my games.

Any news on Thief 4 also? Looking foward to that too

Buy Deadly Shadows: one of the most underrated games of last generation.

Thief 4 is coming but I wouldn't expect it to be released next year. Its a long way down the track.

There has been no new Thief IV news since it was officially announce a couple months ago. It will likely be that way for awhile, until Eidos wraps up Deus Ex 3.

I recently reinstalled Thief II and have been playing some more extremely impessive fan missions that I have missed out on in the past few years. The fans have perfected making missions just as good, and even better, than the official ones in the games.

Eh? Deadly shadows ranks somewhere 80%+ on game rankings, pretty solid for a game considered weakest of the series.

But I do agree, Deadly shadows is an excellent game, buy it. I played and beat it when it was on gametap for free, but they probably removed it by now.

I say underrated because yes a lot of people - not me - consider it the "weakest" in the series. Even if it were the weakest, the level design, the narrative and the absorbing nature of the game play are so far ahead of many other non-Thief games. People dont seem to view it in that sense when talking about DS being "the weakest"

I played the last one, didnt like it, il stick to splinter cell instead.

However a friend that is a fan told me that the last one sucked and the previous ones where better, just like deus ex>invisible war.

But as i see you dissagree....

Thief games are awesome no question about that, Thief II The Metal Age is my favourite game of all times! As for Deadly Shadows... well i would be better if the city was bigger and there were more places to visit, still it's one awesome adventure with s good story, believable characters and great atmosphere! I will never forget that mission in the Shalebridge Cradle... i still got chills sometimes even when i think of it =] Thief 4 is gonna be awesome too if Eidos will learn from previous mistakes... i can't wait to see the 1st gameplay movie... =]
