On Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Consoles

The Deus Ex: Human Revolution interview on Computer and Video Games sits down with Eidos Montreal's Jean François Dugas, director of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the upcoming continuation of the action/RPG series first created by ION Storm. Along the way Jean François addresses concerns that attempting to appeal to a broader audience will create a "consolified" game, which will turn off PC gamers:

Absolutely not. I think PC is a great platform, but I think consoles are a great platform, too. Back in the '90s, games on the two platforms were very different, but I think these days it's all about bringing things together - movies, TV, music - they're all converging in the same places for everyone to access. I see it as convergence, and it's the same for games.

We didn't think, 'Oh, it's coming to console; it has to be easy'. We can have a very deep experience, but it's important that if you want to just jump in to it, you can jump in to it. It's not about removing complexity or cutting possibilities: it's about the way the complexity is introduced.

Yeah, the PR guys would have their asses for giving out specifics, especially things that aren't set in stone. As nice as that would be, I wouldn't get your hopes up. Generally you just have to wait and see what happens.
PR Guy? Jean Francois Dugas is the director of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Being the director he should know better about what the grand plan is. He is the Director after all and my comment still stands.

I have some wonderful beachfront property in colorado to sell you.

Any corporate representative that is giving information on their marketed product to a journalist is instructed by the PR dept. about what information to give and how to give it. That is the very purpose and function of the Public Relations department. Whether or not they actually listen to the PR people and follow their guidelines is another matter.

In this case, it could be obvious how the director is reacting. Or it might not, depending on a number of factors.
 
Go forth, and kill!
