Eidos Montreal: Deus Ex and Thief relaunches considered “like a new IP”

Despite the relative ease videogame developers churn out sequels, Eidos Montreal believes that Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the forthcoming Thief relaunch have been treated as if they were entire new IPs.

I was thinking about this a few days ago in terms of DX. I thought:

What if DX was actually a reboot? I will say it's a pretty good one... minus the groggy boss fights and endings.

Despite saying that, DXHR definitely tried to recapture what made the original great, and in many respects succeeded.

I only hope the new Thief shows as much respect for its source material.

I'm playing Human Revolution right now for the first time and its pretty good.

VanillaBear4430d ago (Edited 4430d ago )

I was hoping that they would made a sequel to Deus Ex: Invisible War but the thing is I kind of like Adam Jensen, so much character development to dive into......

I wonder if there would be a way to continue from Invisible War but also include Adam aswell then you could link in whats happened over Deus Ex and it's sequel with the events played out in Human Revolution, <SPOILERS>....even at the end of HR Megan seems to be changing sides and working for the wrong team. With Adams "upgrades" shouldn't he age slower or live longer then a normal human being anyway.

I think the next Deus Ex needs less Vents though, way too many vent crawling in HR. It was like the only "alternative" route

I am still waiting on some new info on Thief 4.

An update from Eidos Montréal

Crafting emotions since 2007.

OtterX116d ago

The Embracer Group brings the Embrace of Death, once again.

staticall116d ago

Yeah, they should be renamed to Embarrassment Group at this point. Bought every studio they could lay their hands on just to fire people from them, close them or cancel their games.

ROCKY28115d ago

100 % The CEO is a PIG and it showcases how Embarrassment Group has always been a sham of a company
within the game industry !

Eonjay115d ago

Seems like the most turnover is being generated by companies making acquisitions and cuts.

Abnor_Mal115d ago

Ahhhh a man of culture, Futurama is the best.

thorstein115d ago

It's like they don't know their behinds from their elbows.

UPS just signed all their drivers to a huge contract.

In order to afford the contract, UPS is laying off management.

That's how all of this should work. Lay off management. That's how a business can be more "efficient."

God this hurts, I love Eidos Montreal. They make great games.

Si-Fly115d ago

They’ve not closed the studio.

VincentVanBro115d ago

I know, but they laid off 97 employees and canceled my most anticipated release from their studio.

Xenial115d ago

Shouldn't laugh because of the situation. But that did make me lol.

Psychonaut85115d ago

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.

KwietStorm_BLM115d ago

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.

CantThinkOfAUsername115d ago

They were banking on Saudi money. When the Saudi Government backed down everything fell apart.

XiNatsuDragnel117d ago

RiseNShine117d ago
