wohooo
sad news that warren spector aint on the team tho
Eidos has announced the long-awaited third entry in the Deus Ex franchise, the sci-fi RPG shooter series originally handled by Ion Storm. The game is being developed at Eidos' recently formed (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/45772/) Montreal studio for unspecified consoles, though PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 editions are likely.
The game is currently at an extremely early stage. General studio manager Stephane D'Astous told Gamasutra (http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=16365) that the team just received approval for the title's proof of concept. The team will be allotted up to two years for development, suggesting the game is targeted for a holiday 2009 release.
"[Deus Ex] was very highly rated at its release in 2000, and we have this great huge mandate to do the third one, and everybody is very excited," noted D'Astous. The existence of the title was suggested in an Eidos interview earlier this year (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/47007).
Deus Ex creator Warren Spector, who was also a producer on Looking Glass' original System Shock, is not likely to be involved with the project. Spector's company, Junction Point Studios, was recently acquired by Disney (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/47927), with the creator noting that his next game was, "the only project that could've tempted me to leave the world of independent development."
is this one of those threads that we'll have to revisit 3 years from now when they finally give up on the game and then some other useless devleoper picks it up only to make a shambles of it and ruin the hole thing, thread?

Probably. Deus Ex 1 was genre breaking and amazing. I still play through it even now. Deus Ex 2 I got my parents to import from the US before the UK release date for my brithday. Most disappointing present ever. It *sucked*.
In all fairness no.1 was very good but can they comeback with a better installment than no.2? We will wait and see. I wonder where duke nukem forever is :P.

:withstupid:
I think No.2 was geared for the console
well, 1 was more rpgish while n2 was a bit less in that and more in heavy augmentation useage and shooting
i loved both, passed n1 over 50 times ide guess and a couple of times n2
n2 was much more open ended to an extent, i really wish n1 had a parrarel storyline which sided with unatco/mj12
i really hope n3 goes out and the skill system gets back, it added much more depth to the game, n2 was a bit too much augmentation overloaded
