Not that I'm saying Warrens games are open world. Multiple route closed world multi-method expansive levels?

Very few new games get me excited anymore. This one does. Killed a lot of hours with System Shock and Deus Ex. Love that he said fans of his work will already know what to expect.
Yeah, I'm the same way. The hype machine over the years has killed my excitement for new games. But that last statement definitely brings out a little hope. Back during the golden age of pc gaming ('96 - '04), there wasn't a lot of hype. Games just rolled out and you trusted most devs because the passion was always there. Now it's all hype with little passion. And then the game that you get is usually not even close to what they were hyping for years haha
You nailed it. Whatever happened to 'when it's done'? As corps buy up developers, all triple A games start to feel the same to me. Ubisoft has single-handedly ruined what I love about open world games. Hopefully this and Starfield can restore some faith.

"on board full time to keep their creative impulses on-track."
Lucas does his best work under this kinda thing. So did Chris Roberts.

"Immersive simulation' didn't mean much to me a week ago, but having just finished Masters of Doom and discovering that it's how he described Deus Ex, that's pretty exciting. I still remember the ending I got for Deus Ex, and it remains a highlight because it was a huge decision.
I'm about 8 times bitten, 9th shy for video games from legendary 90s designers though. Seems like the resources needed to flesh out a modern game the way they envisage it is around what Chris Roberts has to play with.

Not just a new IP, but a Warren Spector "immersive simulation" - one of my favorite genres.
I didn't ask for this.
Aren't they supposed to be making System Shock 3?
I think that last Mickey Mouse based game Warren Specter did cratered pretty hard from what I vaguely recall.

Is it called Warring Specter? 
The most exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions.
Hopefully it's a spiritual successor to the original Deus Ex. Square Enix seems to be letting the IP go to waste since Mankind Divided didn't sell to their expectations.
