Unproven developer, keepin' my hopes low.Eidos Confirms Next Deus Ex
The new Eidos Montreal studio is reviving the action RPG.
by Daemon Hatfield
May 17, 2007 - In a recent interview on French-language television station MusiquePlus the director of Eidos France, Patrick Melchior, revealed a new Deus Ex game is in the works. The revival of the franchise is the "first mission" of Eidos' new Montreal studio, currently made up of around 40 people.
Deus Ex is an action RPG series created by Warren Spector and Ion Storm and originally released by Eidos in 2000. The game received a sequel, Deus Ex: Invisible War, in 2003, but since then the series has been dormant. Ion Storm shut its doors in 2005, and Warren Spector is working on a game with his new Junction Point Studios. Details on this revival are not clear at this time, but Melchior says we can expect to hear more about the next Deus Ex game in a few months.
This is a dangerous proposition.
Oh my. It can be done well. It's just not likely to be great.
Not many developers can pull off games as good as Invisible War, let alone the first game. Who knows what this new developer's like. I'm curious if this will be a true sequel or a spin-off like Clan Wars was supposed to be.

I tried to do a quick search to see if any "known" people were part of the new staff to no avail. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
I have no hopes whatsoever for this.
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
We'll see. Honestly, others have borrowed from Deus Ex to good effect, to there's not saying this won't do the same.
No Spector, no Deus Ex.
Time for a change
