Yeah, as far as I know, no one is currently working on a project to update the original games with better graphics, but the fan missions in the next few years are going to be amazing. I think it is inevitable though that eventually someone is going to start a project to update the original games.

Who cares, already played these games to death, I know every knook and cranny, a graphical update wouldn't do all that much for me. But I love the fanwork, even ex-developers play fanmissions. This is simply incredible though I would never have actually believed the Dark-engine could look this good. Gently apoligize for being so wrong Husar and Tincow, or I have no other option than calling your mom and telling her you suck

lol, and the amazing thing is that this is just the beginning. One fan made patch made this all possible. Further revision of the engine in the future will refine the graphics even further.
I can't disagree with you more on a remastered game though. First of all, there is the potential of attracting new followers to the franchise with a remastered version. Second of all the original games have an amazing charm that just cannot be replicated. I have played them over tons of times, and still will more. A remastered Thief and Thief 2 could have slightly improved level design to make it a new experience. I think you would probably play it if it came out. I know I would play a remastered Thief 2 to death.
You will have to excuse Husar and Tincow, they are newschool noobs.

I would play it but I kinda doubt it will attract any newcommers, let them have their way with the upcomming atrocity that is Thief 4. Trailer looks nothing like the real thing, and my interest in the future of the series was already vaporised by Thief 3. Glad the fans keep the originals alive. I would play it for sure yes. Would love to hate having to return to the Haunted Cathedral with these graphics I am calling my doctor in advance if I do. You also suck because you like Thief 2 better by the way. No other game has terrified me as much as the first Thief did, I had to take a 4 month break after I encountered the first haunt. That was incredibly scary. I was wondering why the hell a hammarite was in an zombie-infested church and tried to blackjack it because blackjacking is awesome, that turned out to be a really bad idea. On my second playthrough I realised I should have known better as there is also one in the level that leads to the cathedral, exploration faux de moi. The robots in Thief 2 are also scary, and the masked servants sinister as can be as they are obviously suffering from the mask they are forced to wear but it never gets as much under your skin as the Boneheart or the Cathedral. Pure terror.

Absolute kudo's for the police-station and the Bank and Life at the Party though, awesome. Police station you can beat in an hour as it's a small level but it's really really tense

Gawd how I love these games. Nothing can and will ever come close. We have a fellow fanboy by the way I recently learned we can add my fellow Dutchie Hax to our lines

I lost hope for the official future of the series as well, but we fans can still continue it. (esp since they rebooted the series now)
As far as TDP being better than TMA, horse radish! Thief TDP frankly bored me through most of the game. Constantine's mansion amused me a bit, but the only level I found truly scary was (return to) the Haunted Cathedral. See, I am not big into the whole undead thing. To me it just seems silly, not scary. It ruins immersion for me, because I cannot believe myself there with those creatures when I find their whole existence to be an absurd impossibility.
Thief 2 was scarier because I could feel like I was there, and in a very real danger. And having steel floors everywhere made stuff really intense.

Good for Hax. Glad to know that there are more out there. Froggy, you, Hax, and myself makes four, so we are still a pretty small minority though. :P
