Final Fantasy developer Square Enix is helping out Eidos Montreal with Deus Ex 3, it was revealed today. Specifically, Square Enix is helping Eidos to develop the cutscenes and in-game cinematics.

While it may seem like an unusual partnership, Square Enix is apparently very proud to be working on the Deus Ex franchise and is keen to help Eidos on other IPs that are in production - Thief 4 in particular.

"The people in Tokyo are just so glad to work on it," said Eidos' Stephane D'Astous in a comment to Edge. "This is the first project for them that's a non-Final Fantasy title--they even want to work on Thief 4 too."

Square Enix bought out the UK-based Eidos earlier this year after the company fell on hard times and started looking for buy-out offers. While EA and Ubisoft were other contenders for the ownership of the Deus Ex, Thief and Tomb Raider franchises that Eidos owns, it was Square that closed the deal in the end.

News on Deus Ex 3 itself has been slow over the past few months, with an expect 2009 release date silently sliding out of sight while Eidos continues to work on the title. It has been confirmed that the game is a cyberpunk prequel to the first game though and that it won't be getting a console release due to the complexity of the game.

Yeah, sure. I bought this crap when the Far Cry 2 team was parading their game around as a PC title, only a PC title and never to be anything but a PC title. Maybe it's a Montreal thing.

too complex for consoles is usually bullshit. It probably just means it's not going to get as huge a budget/marketing push as multi-plat games.

They can just do it like Dragon Age and make the console version adequate if you don't have a PC. Even Deux Ex 1 was on PS2

Well, part of that is becaue they're also trying to show off their multiplat Cryengine 3.

I think it's a good thing if they make games for all systems as long as one of them don't get the shaft.

The engine thing is the same thing as the money thing. They want to be where Epic is. And Epic has big games and big licensing beyond just PC games. There are relatively few companies that have the finances and support and catalog to be PC only and still make Triple AAA.

Again, I have no problem with them bringing their things to consoles. I thought it was cool when there was a version of The Witcher coming to consoles as well. And hopefully id tech 5 and cryengine 3 catch on eventually.

The PC gaming scene is extremely boring. 90%+ are either FPS games, WRPGs, and RTS titles. Any fighting or action games on it are usually from consoles and those are typically afterthoughts. It almost seems like most of the fun of PC gaming is buying the latest video card or a new stick of RAM so your shitty sci-fi FPS runs at 50 fps as opposed to 35 fps. When the games are as stale as the current crop of PC top tier titles, I'd want to spend all of my time talking about upgrades as well.

archie4208 · « **Reply #41 on:** November 25, 2009, 09:07:17 PM »

PC gaming has the most varied lineup of any system, but you do have to go digging in the indie scene for games that don't fit the FPS/WRPG/strategy game mold. I wouldn't have known about King's Bounty if Prole didn't make a thread about it last year.

My favorite is seeing PC gamers invade the "dumbed down" console threads to brag about said features above. It's like they can't decide if they are above console gaming or admit their platform is dominated by it so they play both sides to try to eliminate the massive confusion in their heads.

cool breeze · « **Reply #44 on:** November 25, 2009, 09:32:13 PM »

The only thing about PC gaming that's dying are the big, highly produced, exclusive games. Most console games are on PC, and 9/10 cases they are technically better if you have the hardware. The other big thing in PC gaming these days are smaller, cheaper games like King's Bounty (mentioned above, I haven't played it myself yet), Torchlight, etc. And again, I'm fine with that. If I didn't have a PC, I would have bought these games on consoles, they're just technically better and support my control preference.

I was never into the big budget PC games, so I'm not really compelled to invest too much into state-of-the-art video cards and such. The PC is best suited for indie type games, and that's what I usually find myself playing.
