They own Edios right? They were going into he crapper... so really you should be thanking Square Enix for buying them and allowing them to live.

They own them and deserve to have their name on it

I'm fairly sure this new Deus Ex will just be the same as IW, only with better graphics.

Fact is consoles dumb down games. the console audience like more action orientated stuff. They don't like heavy text based games at all. And the controller gives a lot of limitations in terms of user interface. lack of lean and prone in many games is down to the devs wanting to streamline the controls of the game. And the same for many other game mechanics/gadgets can mostly all be blamed on the joypad not having enough buttons like a pc.

Lack of rectangle sway on weapon. Is also a console thing as it's more difficult to aim with a analogue stick. In DE1 the weapons could not aim properly until you leveled up. I doubt this will be seen in DE3. This was removed in ME2 also with the sniper sway.

I'm not expecting much. But if the story is good then at least that's something I guess.

But they had no say in the development and they only published it in Japan and maybe one other area I think, in the US Eidos and Warner Bros. published it. Like in Japan for example Square published Modern Warfare 2 but of course did not make the game in any actual way.

Man, there's like 10,000 other reasons to think that Deus Ex 3 is going to suck, and better ones really.

No they published it worldwide.

They bought all of Eidos 6 months before the game launched. The brand of Eidos might be on the box but that brand belongs to S-E.

I do agree with the you that that didn't change anything about the game, I mean, why would they? There is a reason why they bought Eidos and that was because they wanted in on the western games design development and I think they are smart enough to let it stay the way it is.

Yeah, I mean...they even published Supreme Commander and Order of War, two pure PC RTSes, pretty much as far from japanese games as you can get and I sure didn't see any influence there. And both of those were done all through SquareEnix directly, without any Eidos involvment. So if they were left untouched I see no reason why DX3 would be affected by Square

Invisible War is far from crap..........while the gameplay was a step back from the original, the narrative is actually better than the first game. Better pacing, more emotional involvment, more relevant to issues of today, better characters. If anythng IW is underrated.

Ahh I see I knew they purchased Eidos but I thought Arkham Asylum might of been Eidos's last game or something developed with there name. Sorry for my false info then. (except they did publish MW2 in Japan)

You should read this as:

They'll screw it up as much as they screwed up a game that is rated 90+ on metacritic, got AAA on almost every major gaming site and was a strong contender for Game of the Year. Obviously a game with that much critical praise hasn't been screwed up by anyone. You should take this as a sign for how much Square is looking to impact games that they don't do anything but publish.

I thought people would catch the sarcasm but apparently I give the internet too much credit...*

*that "..." isn't sarcasm

We should make a name for the current trend of JRPG haters on here most of you havent even played one. Why do poeple have to always hate on things they dont understand!

I hope Deus flops just to spite some people to be honest its really pathetic how TC and others go ape over Square Enix getting in on the job. Square make great games get a clue. On a side note they probably wont directly effect the game to much anyhow i should imagine they will leave it mainly upto the Devs remember this is an RPG/FPS i should imagine. Japan is not a fan of FPS games.

Deus Ex died a long time ago. I have little faith that it will ever be able to return to the epic nature of the first one.

Hello Xenophobia.

I don't see how the fact that a japanese dev has never created anything as open structured as Deus Ex so the TC is afraid that having a japanese company providing the capital to get this game made, they have the ability to effect the game anyway they see fit as having a fear of foreigners.

I could see it now: The final battle will consist of Tracer Tong summoning a Bahamut against the third and final form of the Helios AI. By the end of the game, the Illuminati will be controlled by the teenaged characters, and will be renamed the Chocobo Knights :o

I guess to you they are mundane because they don´t try to act emotional(and the only emotion they usually achieve from the gamer is embarrasement) every 5 seconds and cry like babies all the time while spouting the cheesiest dialogue lines ever. :P

I think they like characters who's spiky hair and eye liner does all the talking. All flash, and no substance. Oh and don't forget that guy with the big sword and the trench coat, he's soooo cool! Also, I like it how the idea of someone responding to your words in WRPGs is somehow foreign... like when you're having a conversation with someone you should just sit there and stare at them and not say anything.

Your right, i suppose Miranda losing her childhood friend would be an emotional time, yet all thye could musta was alittle angry face, a cheesey macho "youl pay for that" and attack... and then you speak to her afterwards shes just like every character, an information kiosk that talks in a mundain voice. Fair enough if you like standing there and clicking optional dialogue which in a good majority of the case has no real effect on the game at all as apposed to scripted RP or self-played RP (Morrowind ect) ... but its not for me, I dont like being bored.

Well I suppose if Miranda and Shepard were both fake-laughing like peacocks, it wouldn't be that boring for you.

I mean, the hell with optional dialog right? Who needs it? It's not like it's there for character development or anything like that.

i agree with this statement now

but before KOTOR or Baldurs gate 2, JRPG's were better

Your right, i suppose Miranda losing her childhood friend would be an emotional time, yet all thye could musta was alittle angry face, a cheesey macho "youl pay for that" and attack... and then you speak to her afterwards shes just like every character, an information kiosk that talks in a mundain voice. Fair enough if you like standing there and clicking optional dialogue which in a good majority of the case has no real effect on the game at all as apposed to scripted RP or self-played RP (Morrowind ect) ... but its not for me, I dont like being bored.Birdy09
you act like characters in jRPG actualy behave like belivable real humans, please :D

but before KOTOR or Baldurs gate 2, JRPG's were better

particularly in the 2D era
