Looks like a contender for the latest gen engines. Would love to see a video in motion though.

I love the read between the lines message suggesting a next gen Deus Ex game in the works!

Wish it would be PC exclusive so it doesn't have to be dubbed down for consoles. Although its obvious that they will develop it for consoles. :rolleyes:

As long as it's not a straight port that a few devs seem to be taking I can get over it not being a pc exclusive.

Excellent news!! Thanks for that link

Really can't wait for a new Deus Ex game

Isn't the best thing about the latest consoles that they are really just PCs? I remember reading a lot from developers that said development for PC games would now be improved as they are essentially now developing for a single platform - essentially saying that the previous benefit provided by developing specifically for a certain console and then "porting" over to PC no longer exists.

Yes, indeed. There will of course still be issues, but the two systems are no longer alien to each other, so things should start looking up for ports. Well, as long as they've only been ported from PS4/Xbone. The problem may still exist for games that are created for PS3/360 too.

Exactly. Which is why I'm confused about the worries of "oh noes, better not b a port!" posts when their website states:

People have become traumatised by shoddy ports. I am, however, convinced ports will only get better from here on out as we're all using the same hardware.
