Because then Eidos will be able to point their finger at a two year old port, and be able to say, "See? We supported the system, and it didn't sell, lol nintendo."

How big is Eidos Montreal, and how much of the Human Revolution team remains there? I ask because they've just wrapped up Tomb Raider's multiplayer, and I assume have been knee deep in Thief 4 as it went from late current gen to next gen. I assume the latter is their next big game.
Do they have the staff and teams to man two major projects at once? Or is the HR team handling Thief 4?

Thief 4 team was mostly separate from DXHR, that's what they said back then.
It's worth a look, yes.

Yes, definitely a good game. Requires a bit of patience though, but if you have that, it certainly is a great experience.
Oh fuck yes! More! Give me more!
I absolutely loved Human Revolution but it didn't do anything different for the series. It simply took the original Deus Ex and created a new game out of it. Nothing wrong with that but now that HR became a success, now is their chance to add more and expand. The Deus Ex style of gameplay has the potential to be so much more than what it already is.
I'm so fucking ready for this! Unless this is a remake. Either way, I'm okay with this.

Don't kill me, but I wouldn't mind if they treated HR as a reboot and completely threw out the original's story. It would give the series a more flexible approach. They are kind of in a cumbersome situation where they have one really amazing game, then the prequel, and then the sequel that was so bad that no one wants to acknowledge it. You can only do so much between HR and DX.

Sequel on Luminous Engine. I'll buy it.
They have three teams and over 400 staff.

Correction, over 450 staff.

I am sorry, I love the Deus Ex series to death, but with a shitty sequel like IW, how the hell are they going to continue in this timeline? Deus Ex 1 was an amazing game and incredibly ambitious, even to this day there are hardly any games to match it in terms of depth and complexity of both the story and gameplay.
Then, we have Deus Ex Invisible War, a sequel so bad that it almost killed the franchise, it defines the words "Streamlined sequel" not only that, they ruined the universe by some really bad bullshit like for example not choosing a Canon ending form the original game but rather a combination of them happened! WTF?!
So here is my suggestion, retcoon IW and let it be forever forgotten.

I assume they will keep delaying the timeline, until they are literally on top of the original Deus Ex timeline....im one of the few people who enjoyed DE:HR more than DE, due primarily to the setting and visual design....I have no doubt that Human Revolution 2 could trump the original...just open up the levels a little mre and your done
You can set this game just before the events of DX1.
Completely ignore IW for now, and deal with it later if this game is successful.
450 people on Thi4f would be kind of excessive for something not made by Ubisoft or Rockstar.
Completely okay with this.
I loved HR and the original DE. But I worried from the moment I started up HR how knowing where they have to end up eventually could hurt the writing. Surprisingly it didn't because they just sort of did their own thing. Little things here and there. I just don't want it to feel like its written backwards because of what has to happen in DE.

"Ruining Deus Ex" huh? Well Warren Spector already tried to do that with Invisible War, but thankfully Eidos Montreal was able to take all those broken parts and make it a commercial and critical success again.

my ideal sequel would be to deus ex 1 and forgetting IW ever happened.
I love Adam Jensen but I feel it would be a copout to bring him back after Human Revolution.
Either way I'm fucking hyped to play this.

That actually sounds like an awesome premise.
So one team for Thief 4, one for the next Deus Ex and the other team is doing what....?

Cheers chickens. More than enough wiggle room for Human Revolution 2 to have been started right off the bat.
They were doing Tomb Raider multiplayer.
I would love to see a what happened with IW detective work akin to what happened to Aliens:CM
Would be an interesting read.
I think that was a relatively small side team, since they're supposed to have three teams for full sized AAA games.

I liked the original Deus Ex a lot, but honestly, I liked Human Revolution a whole lot more.
I hope whatever they make is a direct sequel to HR and stars Adam Jensen. I also hope it's not set too far after the first game, too. They created a really, really appealing world and lore and I want them to follow it up. I wouldn't mind at all if they started treating its lore as completely separate from the first two Deus Ex games.

Hope it's a sequel, and not just the Wii U port.

Ah got it, thanks. Both titles should be well under development given it's been about 18 months since Deus Ex: HR.
That was quite an unusual leak.. interesting.

That's Square Enix Montreal, which is a separate studio actually.

Sounds like sequel and not a WiiU version of HR. Makes no sense dropping the name.
That or this is related to the movie.

Thank you so much for this. It makes me feel better knowing that Harvey Smith has found success once again with Dishonored.

Oh boy, do I have a surprise for you!
You seem to be implying there is a sequel to Deus Ex when we all know that is not the case.
