Action Trip has posted a preview of the next edition in the UEngine-powered Thief series, Thief: Deadly Shadows. Here's a snippet:
So far, the graphics look very good. The lighting and shadows really add to the whole experience of creeping around. Beams of moonlight filter through windows and fires cause shadows from people or furniture to flicker and move around the room. The textures and character models have gotten a much needed graphical update, although the guards seem a little stiff as they patrol about.
You can read the rest of the preview here.

I predict that shortly after Thief 3's upcoming failure Warren Spector and several others at Ion Storm will jump ship and form a new company. Their only good licenses (Deus Ex, Thief) are lost and they know it.

You might want to read this; the posts compiled there are Digital Nightfall's impressions of the game, he's responsible for Thief: The Circle, possibly the best Thief fansite out there... he sounds quite optimistic about the game.
