It's been rumoured for a while, but this is confirmation from Eidos.

UE3 should run well at 60+ fps on PS4/X720.

Game likely is coming to PS3, X360, PS4, 720, WiiU, and PC.

yesteryear engine optimized on pc for pc and the ps4 will look nearly as good.no shit Arnold. Bring on optimized ps4 games please.

Daver4808d ago

yark, I hate that engine.

Kennytaur4807d ago

It's generally alright if the developers rewrite a good portion of it; to get rid of the slow texture-loading, the nasty bloom and the shiny shaders.

DivineAssault 4808d ago

so what.. It doesnt mean the game will suck.. If it does well & another sequel is made, it will use UE4

Trago13374808d ago

So then....why the hell is it not coming to the ps3 and 360!? If they expect to make any of the money made to produce this game back then why not also release the game on platforms with larger instal bases than the next gen systems?

I only hope the PC community buy this game up, I want it to succeed.

MadLad4808d ago

Well, to be fair, this series is almost purely a PC series, with only the third game ever hitting console and that was in the form of a very poor xbox port.
It has done fairly well on PC and I would think (hope) that it would be the same here.
Besides, with this coming out on newly released consoles, with early adopters looking for things to play, it should definitely find an audience on console. Even if the install base is nothing close to that of the 360/PS3.

Thief - Taken From Us Too Soon

The Thief game series has had many ups-and-downs, and 2014's reboot showed a great deal of promise nearly a decade ago.

Notellin1040d ago

This would be such a great franchise to reboot. A darker game than Dishonored, but focused around stealth and large scale heists from an oppressive monarchy.

That's probably my dream game. I love immersive sims and stealth!

Noskypeno1039d ago

People say they hate forced stealth sections in games. But a game focused on stealth with good mechanics and level design feels refreshing from the guns blazing games which I also enjoy. I really enjoyed playing Splinter cell, a game that not many try to mimic today. Not too many games let you shoot lights out, or throw cans or bottles to distract guards. Sure there are games with stealth options like the new Wolfenstein but it doesn't feel necessary to play it that way. Hitman might be the only game that has that feeling, except for that Korean game that may or may not ever come out.

isarai1039d ago

You should try the Sniper Elite games, so good, especially with coop

Notellin1038d ago

Same here. I'm glad there are some other people who enjoy these types of games!

@isarai I tried Sniper Elite 5 and ended up really enjoying that one. Went back and played 4 as well!.

ModsDoBetter1039d ago (Edited 1039d ago )

The last one was a trainwreck and has been in the bargain bin since just after launch. If they bring it back, they need a massive change in direction.

Inverno1039d ago

only direction they should take is putting it in reverse and going back to what the originals did. I couldn't finish this game, and I made a choice to never play it again. I watched a video about the og Thief and Deus Ex games and the current AAA standard will forever hold back these games. These 2 games alone had already solved so many problems with modern gaming that I don't think they'll get a chance at something great unless they're made by a dev that actually give a damn.

monkey6021039d ago

Jesus the last installment sells at about 2 euro and even that is over paying for it. Absolutely diabolical game

SimpleSlave1039d ago

Ups and Down? More like Up, UP, Pot Hole, Free Fall into the Abyss...

Rutaprkl1039d ago

Thief Deadly Shadows remaster would be awesome.
