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."

Yeah but that's an ideological issue. The Mass Effect 1 port was great, the "native" ME2 was pretty meh. They're not delaying it so I don't see the problem. Look at it this way, games often have different teams working on singleplayer and multiplayer. It's sad that development studios lack the in-house capabilities to do an acceptable PC version but that's due to PC gamers not buying enough games (you can argue whether PC gamers are justified in doing that but if the sales ratio between PC and 360 were reversed things would look a lot different).
