In a hotel suite, not far from the PAX East 2013 show floor, Square Enix was showing off the upcoming Wii U version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Given that the game will soon be two years old, does the port pack enough brand new material to warrant additional time spent with Adam Jensen? That’s what developer Eidos Montreal is assuming and hoping.
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.
HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.
It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.
Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?
Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.
@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.
The top producer of Square Enix flagship Dragon Quest franchise is stepping down from the role, following delays in developing the next installment of the popular series.
Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.
Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
I'm not sure if it will net too many sales from people who bought the original, but for Nintendo-exclusive owners, this should definitely be appealing, and fans that skipped the original due to online criticism may be a little more interested.
I haven't played the original, so I'm personally pretty stoked to check it out on Wii U. Also, I'm pretty happy that Square Enix is supporting the Wii U at all, even if it is just an enhanced port of an older game.
Day 1 purchase for me.
Nintendo needs to secure more games like this. If they insist on porting games that are several years old, at least add a lot of enhancements.
I kinda feel sorry for WiiU owners despite some little changes they still gonna have to pay 50 bucks for a port while original pc or console edition can be aquired for less than $20 with dlc, on the other hand good for them, i think any 3rd party title on that console should be a thumbs up !
This is shaping up to be a great addition to the Wii U library, yes it may be a port but with the amount of effort going into it it's worth the price tag.
