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.

Carmack fanboy or something? :p

This... Is a good example of what's wrong with 'society' or our 'culture' today...

It's ok for people to have different opinions... It's ok for people to argue the merit of their opinions...

There's no need for people to take it personally, when someone else has a different opinion/view of a situation. You don't need to try and dismiss/disregard other people by convincing yourself they're 'fanboi's, work for the company you're hating on, or call it whining/QQ/etc, or alts of Derek Smart... (I apologize if that gets him in this thread).

I personally think some people's opinions on Blues, over the last 10 ish years I've been coming here, are insane... I can't relate, but I also realize that I don't have to agree, or even understand their point, to know it's valid : )

As for the original Deus Ex... I enjoyed some of it... But I didn't think it was the crazy-good game with an amazing system that seemed to be the popular view at the time... Having 'grown up' with games like the original System Shock, perhaps I was just expecting more... Though, 'to be honest', any time something is hyped, I expect more, and usually end up disappointed... (I sat in the theatre for nearly 2 hours WAITING for the scary part of The Blair Witch Project... The only major emotion that movie evoked, was a sense of longing for camping).

Anyhow... nearly done ranting...

In the end, my point isn't, that you should hug your neighbor (or fellow poster)... Instead, argue with them... But do it with a little more self respect/confidence/what-have-you... : )
