On PC Deus Ex: Human Revolution

[Mar 23, 2011, 9:53 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Eidos Montreal is co-developing the PC edition of Deus Ex: Human Revolution with Nixxes Software, the Netherlands-based developer that has assisted on ports of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, and Tomb Raider Underworld, reports Shacknews. They learned this as part of an interview they will publish soon discussing the upcoming action/RPG prequel with Jean-François Dugas, who explains the Windows edition "was done in-house, but with a partnership." Dugas, who says he is currently playing the game exclusively on the PC, explains the reason for the collaboration: "It was more of a logistical problem more than anything else and having enough people to make sure it's all on the same level, all the time. So, yeah. It was more about manpower and logistics."

PC development fail.

Given the choice of having a development team co-develop the console version along with the PC version or have a dedicated team to each platform, I'd hope for the latter. Especially considering so many devs consider consoles to be the main platform and the PC version is an afterthought. In this case a full team is dedicated to make sure PC mechanics are in place and working well. I understand that's no guarantee, but it improves our chances. So I don't get why anyone would be entirely negative about this.
