The cancellation of Deus Ex Mankind Divided Part 2, pained me quite a lot.
But I'm sure the executives that got a fat bonus were happier than I was upset. (insert meme happiness comic)
I contend that the next great Deus Ex game will not come out of Ubi, and it won't be under the name Deus Ex, but it will be a new kind of immersive sim made with love by developers who grew up on the originals.
I contend this for a lot of the classic franchises tbh
This is what should happen. You like the game, make one that’s inspired by it, grow the concept and give it new life.
No. We get franchises and wallowing in profits of milked IPs
Worse, you've even got some copyrighting gameplay concepts, Shadow of Mordor with their "nemesis system."
Imagine if the concept of the "first person shooter" was locked down by Atari after their employees made Battlezone.
Just like how Thief lives on as Gloomwood.
