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.

In my opinion, whether Thief gets a slight boost from being a bit more modern, it's not being modernized for the right reasons. I mean, this guy is a representative in our industry and he gets away with publicly saying this shit?

"Deus Ex: Invisible War was a good game with solid reviews, but not enough people bought it. We'll fix that in the future."

Anyone else imagine him just cackling and rubbing his hands together after saying this? Good game? Solid reviews? Hell, I know people need to make money on games but "consumer focus" is what made DXIW suck in the first place - the entire vibe of that quote just screams "do anything to sell more" at the expense of making a good, fun game by doing more feature-stripping.
