There is plenty of room to build a new series of Deus Ex games which follow the upcoming Deus Ex: Human Revolution, without interfering with the original two games, Eidos Montreal has told Edge magazine.
Asked about the idea of sequels, and the possibility of having to retell the existing story, game director Jean-Francois Dugas, said: "It's natural to come to the idea of a remake, but our game takes place in 2027 - that's like 25 years before the first game. So it leaves us enough room to build a new series."
Nightdive would "love to remaster" Deus Ex, among a few other games. How can we make this happen.
Hanzala from eXputer says, "After multiple delays, cancellations, and ownership changes, the misfortune of Deus Ex continues; this gem of a series deserves better."
One can only hope at this point Embracer will need to generate an influx of cash flow, and what better way to do so than to sell off some of its IPs... namely Deus Ex, to a competent and talented studio capable of delivering a game noteworthy of the name in future. And thinking about it further, I don't know why Embracer would sit on the IP vs sell it if it means staying in business or not.
Some games endure despite the average player wishing they could skip that first hour - here are five annoying video game openings in otherwise classic titles.
I liked the Red Dead 2 opening, certainly didn’t feel like a slog to me, but I enjoyed that whole game so for those who were just expecting ‘GTA but with cowboys’, that was probably not the opening they expected, and Red Dead 2 wasn’t the game they were hoping for …
First game that came to mind when I read the title, was Watch Dogs 2, because you’re expecting an open world sandbox game in sunny colorful San Francisco, and instead that opening has you crawling and sneaking around an incredibly boring office building …
Watch Dogs 2 is a decent game but not really a classic. The opening is awful though. You got that right.
I loved the RDR 2 opening hours the first time but going back to restart it is where the rub lies for me.
Yeah, I agree it’s not a classic, but it was the first game I thought of where I really thought; Why would you make that design choice!? If you’re gonna do a thing like that in order to teach the player some basic sneaking controls, at least make the location a bit more interesting, like an abandoned theme park or gorgeous temple or whatever, but now the gameplay was restrictive and boring, but also the location itself.
@Yi-Long Definitely true re the worst possible choices being made for the opener of Watch Dogs 2. I did enjoy WD2 overall but that intro is baffling :-D
Day one.
When anyone asks me what the best games of a golden era of games, 2000-2009 was, Deus ex sits very, very high up that list.
If this only captures half of that fabled title, it'll be a triumph.
And i hope they do, this game looks awsome
hope so, original game is in my top 3 games ever
after Mass effect 2 I hope for another sci-fi January
I honestly wouldn't cry to see a remake either. I know it's faulty to compare things, but the original has a pretty shoddy AI (gotta love that run side to side, crouch, side to side, crouch again), and it don't look too pretty no more.
I do love that game though, warts and all.
