I’ve always maintained that Deus Ex is the greatest game ever made by man, and with good reason. It was thought-provoking, immersive, intelligent and its unique game mechanics were plain perfect. While its sequel never lived up to its predecessor’s timeless glory, I still liked it for just being. I’m in need of underwear right now, because Eidos has just announced Deus Ex 3. That’s right, folks – Deus Ex is back with a vengeance!
Of course, Ion Storm saddeningly dissolved a long time ago, so this is Eidos’ Montreal studio’s first game, and that’s a blazing inauguration. Gamasutra reports the company’s structure, their goals and other details not concerning Deus Ex. What I found to be interesting was that Eidos mentions that the new studio will have tightly-knit, multi-discipline groups (at the most 80 people) working on a single project. Also, their development cycles will reportedly last 24 months, as opposed to the much lesser numbers of their competitors.
Eidos also released the teaser for Deus Ex 3, which you can find below. It’s as ambiguous as you’d expect from a teaser, and depicts a bio-augmented foetus, along with some mysterious words from a narrator. There are also a series of pictures that run damn fast. There’s a list of what they are at Wikipedia, if you’re that interested. (UPDATE: We have just learned that the guys at Shacknews have spent a good portion of their lives taking screenshots from the series of images. They have 20 images here right now, and I have no idea if those are all the images or not.)
While this is all excellent news, I have a strange fear in the back of my mind that this may get “consolized” as well, just like (*shudder*) Invisible War. Also, the fact that Montreal is facing a development cycle, no matter how long, hints at the same. Deus Ex, the beautiful game, in its unadulterated form is one that can only be reasonably played on the PC in its entirety. I hope that Montreal tries to recreate that, rather than tossing this legendary franchise into the unwashed masses of multi-console video games.
Hello, possibly our entry could be off topic but anyhow, Having gone browsing about your web site and it seems seriously neat. It is obvious that you know the topic and you are fervent about it. I’m building a fresh site plus I am struggling to make it look great, and also provide the best material. I’ve acquired a good deal visiting this web site and also I look forward to a lot more quality information and will be returning soon. Thanks you.
hi friend i think this is good site!
well, Here are the first shots, and a previously released teaser trailer !
I can’t think of a single occasion for me – or my friends – where the “second attempt” has gone any better than the last.
The way I see it, when you break up, you break up for a reason.
Even if that reason fades over time, it’s likely to resurface and all of the doubts and resentment surrounding it can play horrible tricks on the mind. I don’t recommend going back once you’ve moved on!
