Deus Ex 3!? - Page 6

Square Enix hopes to release multiple Deus Ex games if franchise reboot Deus Ex Human Revolution performs well.

"We have dozens of IPs, some of which we wish to build into franchises," Square CEO Yoichi Wada told MCV.

"Deus Ex 3, for example, is something we're trying to revive. We want to keep on producing profit from that IP for the next ten years."

We've only seen a slice of what Deus Ex: Human Revolution has to offer, but it already looks like the most refreshingly open-ended RPG-FPS in years.

Despite the troubled launch of Final Fantasy XIV last month, Wada also said, somewhat unsurprisingly, that the franchise will continue to expand.

"Final Fantasy has always been a bread-earner for us. It has always been profitable. Of course, we would like to be expanding on those two key IPs [Final Fantasy and Deus Ex), and others that are very strong to us.

"We would like Final Fantasy to continue as long as there are the customers who support Final Fantasy."

I just hope this isn't cutting into the actual production budget.

The pessimism towards DE3 is pretty warranted given the debacle that was IW. If IW didn't have the DE brand, it would have been well received, but DE is critically acclaimed and the sequel had a lot of expectations riding on it.

The interviews and gameplay videos I have read suggest to me this is a studio that is very conscious of the reception from longtime DE fans and they are aware of the things that made IW a failure, but at the same time is making a game with modern mechanics (cover system).

BTW, the jacket that Adam Jensen wears is fucking sick.

Did you play IW? that wasn't a good game at all. I don't even want to get started on the plot or the bugs or the levels design or the long loading, crappy textures, shared ammo pool, horrible ai, and other "features" of that game.

Deus Ex by all rights should be a dead IP that no studio would want to touch with a ten foot pole. The fact that they're making after so many years tells me that they are fans of the series themselves and that gives me hope. Obviously we're not getting a Deus Ex sequel here in the traditional sense, so like everyone should I'm waiting for the reviews.

YES I played IW. It is only "terrible" in the eyes of people who really compare it to the original because it is nothing like the original. It should have never been made tbh. Crappy textures, horrible ai and bugs were all part of the original game. Fans of the orignial didn't like IW becasue it was DIFFERENT and not was not even made for the xbox.

IW would have been looked at a lot differently if it was never part of the DE franchise. Just viewing the game on it's own, its honestly not that bad compared to other console FPS from 2004. I still enjoyed it on its own merit (but substantially less than the original, which remains my favorite game of all time).

Yes but Deus Ex is still probably one of the best games ever made. IW isn't.

Nope they didn't like it because it was worse than Deus Ex which is really sad for a sequel. A sequel should always be better than the original. Or at least try. Who wants mediocrity ?

Basicly what they are describing is Mass Effect or Fallout 3, not Deus Ex. The reason why Deus Ex is great is because it has a strong plot like a linear game but you still have some freedom without being a complete, dull, bland and stupid open world CRPG.

No, it was just plain terrible, the worst example of a PC game eviscerated by trying to make it console-native. I purchased DX2 despite hearing the rumors of badness, and realized the horrible truth before I even installed it. Eventually I got into the game with no amazing expectations to be shattered, and I was utterly underwhelmed at the tiny claustrophobic levels, uninspired settings, characters I didn't care about, and complete disconnect from the original game in every way.
