The launch of PS4 and Xbox One is a “good time to reinvent classic games.”
That’s according to Stephane D’Astous, GM of Eidos Montreal: the studio behind 2011 smash hit Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the upcoming Thief.
Bro f$&k Embracer. How do companies not even understand basic concepts like “don’t count your chickens before they hatch”? And now all these peoples lives are upended because of it.
Fkn trash. They had no business buying up all those studios with house money. I been waiting so long for the next Deus Ex. All these large scale consolidations are bleeding out the industry one at a time.
Embracer Group has reportedly canceled a new Deus Ex game after two years in development and laid off some staff.
Lars Wingefors, the CEO of Crystal Dynamics and Eidos parent company Embracer, provided an update on the group’s pipeline of triple-A projects during a quarterly earnings presentation on Thursday.
He defined triple-A games as titles that have over 100 full-time developers at the peak of their development phase.
They must also have notable or significant marketing budgets and are expected to sell at least two million units.
And if development work is paid for by an external partner, Embracer must also have a notable economic upside.
I would presume a new Tomb Raider and Deus Ex game is on its way, and a Perfect Dark title, but I do wonder what the other two games might be. Legacy of Kain and one more Marvel game?
Prince of persia could be awesome !
NO. New IPs & franchise or don't bother.
the only franchise from this gen that i think needs a reboot is [prototype],the franchise has so much potential but if executed right it could be amazing.
I sure hope i see some reboots or sequels to classics.. Dino Crisis
