Deus Ex and Thief Plans
[Aug 27, 2004, 9:24 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments

A Rob Dyer Q&A on 1UP from earlier in the week (thanks Eurogamer.net) has word from the former Eidos president (who recently joined Crave as president and COO) on future plans for both the Thief series and the Deus Ex series:

We're going to try to get more of a consumer focus into our games. Deus Ex: Invisible War was a good game with solid reviews, but not enough people bought it. We'll fix that in the future. There definitely will be a Deus Ex 3. People want another Thief, too. We'll make that series more modern, though...the medieval thing's run its course. The coming year will bring some really new, innovative titles, plus comebacks from many brands gamers are already familiar with.

I do think Thief could be modernized, but it would take much more intelligence and planning than Eidos has show thus far.

I do think Thief 3 was a letdown; there are some obvious issues with the game and the engine (all aspects - graphics, physics, and control) was a mess. For that a third Thief game could have been, Thief 3 was an even bigger letdown.

Thief could be modernized, but it should be in small steps, not Thief 3024 AD.

If you are modernizing Thief, you need to stay away from Eidos in its current form.

Expecting many a generic game now,
Ray
