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.

It was pretty clear to me after DX:IW and T3 that Eidos is headed toward dumping PC games completely. Both games seemed to have only grudging support for PCs. They didn't even feel the PC was important enough to change the UI ferchrissakes. Let alone higher resolution textures, larger levels, etc. So we were stuck with enormous TV-sized fonts, obtrusive loot glitter and arrow trails that you could see on a TV screen 6 feet away, no rope arrows cause they were too hard on an XBox control ... They didn't want to spend one extra red cent more than they had to for the worthless PC port. And who bitched the most about any of it? PC players.

I think the whole "consumer-focused" comment means consoles only from now on. And you know what? Good. Thief died with Looking Glass, let it rest in peace as far as I'm concerned.
