True, but I can get away with it because I registered awareness of the fault at the same time I committed it. Try to keep up!

So, we will just have to remain patient and keep the " f4ith".  |
This is a good point. Although details about the plot or much of anything may remain sketchy for quite a while, if EM have nailed down a good subtitle early on it's not inconceivable that it could be the next thing we're treated to, before much time has passed. And an updated banner would come with it. This is assuming EM will keep with the tradition of including a meaningful subtitle (rare in games) in the Thief series.
(Deadly Shadows was easily the weakest, most generic subtitle so far, but I have a slight soft spot for it because the words were used somewhat poetically within the game itself. Weren't they? I think I remember them having been. "...when the deadly shadows begin to fall," something like that? Maybe that's from something unrelated.)
What I've been saying heretofore is that even in the pre-subtitle announcement phase, "Thief IV" would have been preferable to "Thi4f", but whether Thief IV will even include the IV in the final title is a good question (maybe something somebody should create a poll about?). T2 had its enumeration, T3 didn't -- presumably so as not to alienate a prospective Xbox audience. T4 could go in either direction. I lean toward enumeration, myself; I just like the way those two vertical slashes look on the T2 box, and I can see a slash and two diagonal cuts being just as appealing.
(Reading this post, it does seem rather trivial, but it does make a difference on the box cover and all the logos and promotional material, so it is glancingly important.)
