I wonder if this will have any effect on GOG's initiative given the track record of delisting original editions?

good, now let Nightdive make a Blood Omen remaster

Very nice hope they do the 2nd game, The Metal Age.

Guess I'll have to replay Thief yet again.

Nightdive?? Okay I actually have faith here, then.

Thief is one of those games that I remember enjoying a good bit, and then I replayed it a few years ago and I could see "This has a good concept under it, but it needs modernization". Levels like the Thieves' Guild are pretty convoluted and the whole game in general just needs to be redone. Pretty much all of the Nightdive remasters have been faithful to the original game while giving the modernization necessary.

I have some concerns on how compatibility will be with existing fan missions since there's already been a recent debate over unofficial engine versions and missions that require the most recent community patch vs older ones. But nonetheless it will be good to have an official release that actually works on moderns systems out the box. I believe the previous steam ones were never fixed, just GOG's.

I can go either way on the updated visuals, especially from the looks of them touching the hand drawn mission briefings, but I think they may have some updated, uncompressed audio for sounds and ambience for this and I would really appreciate having that. Always been one of the strongest parts of the series as is.

Total shot in the dark too but I kinda hope we can get some of that unstable multiplayer support from Thief 2 fixed up for this. And ideally if all goes well and they get to Deadly Shadows, they just gut and redo the movement on that one entirely.

Looking forward to see how they handle this. I for one would appreciate the option to choose whether to play the extra missions from Thief Gold or not rather than them being mandatory. There are some good ones there but those missions are still some of my least favorite parts of the game.
