This should, at the very least, increase the chance for Obsidian getting a shot at DX.

what I predict in the next 2 to 3 years is we will see more and more PUBG shit and its countless clone from AAA dead carcass of developers to asset flippers, and it is a genre ripe for exploitation with lootboxes and microtransactionIn 5 years time every major game will be like Battlefront 2. Online focus, maybe a shitty little campaign if you're lucky, but YOU BETTER ENJOY MULTIPLAYER YOU FUCKS! Because that is what you're getting. Also, buy the map packs and the loot crates.
The good news is that if the major publishers decide to jump ship for microtransaction nickle and diming, this will open a hole in the market that other companies will fill, Focus, DeepSilver, THQ Nordic, Paradox and others could fill this gap if they are remotely smart, the demand will remain there, publishers aren't jumping ship because single player isn't profitable but because they can steal money from kids, teenagers and stupid people what is alot more profitable. We could see a scenario of indie games focused on single player, medium sized publishers for AAA single player games and the behemoths focusing only on online. I would be happy with an Interplay 2.0 publishing single player games while the likes of EA become glorified virtual cassinos, it isn't that we will miss much if Activision, EA and other publisher jump ship.In 5 years time every major game will be like Battlefront 2.

Such a shame. Jean-Francois Dugas' was a great project director, despite the series' flaws, he was able to keep it on a solid path for a time. Fuck Squeenix. Cunts.http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/...deus-ex-switching-focus-to-online-titles.aspx
Eidos-Montréal, Developers Of Deus Ex, Switching Focus To Online Titles
Eidos-Montréal, the studio behind the Tomb Raider reboot and the modern Deus Ex franchise, released a statement on their website announcing a change in focus to online play.
Announced today, studio head David Anfossi released a new vision statement for the Canadian studio. Anfossi wrote "At Eidos-Montréal, we’re constantly working towards creating innovative and exciting experiences for gamers everywhere. In turn, we are placing an added emphasis on the online experiences in our games, striving to continually provide players with content that is memorable and impactful. Through the inherent interactivity of online play, our universes will have the chance to thrive both now and into the future. To achieve this, we are building the teams and tools capable of supporting our ambitions."
This change comes as a shock from the Square-Enix studio who had only recently released Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Shortly after that game's release, Square-Enix and Eidos-Montréal announced that the studio was partnering with Marvel to create multiple video games based on the Avengers.
It was assumed that the Marvel deal was going to occupy the studio's resources for most of the future.
Square-Enix's CEO as recently as a few weeks ago mentioned that Deus Ex was not dead, though it is unclear if the studio's new focus is connected to that statement.
it's not a mistake, it's a marketing strategy and it worked so well that the deus ex brand almost died.
Yeah, it will probably be rebooted again in 5 or 10 years, but the Jensen saga is probably dead for good, despite the fact that it was planned as a trilogy and they only released two games.it can't "die", even hitman was thought gone for all after absolution, it's still too popular, too recognized, to be completely abandoned. hell, we even got human revolution years after that one whose name i won't say. it'll be back, not soon but it will.
Are there Jensen fans out there who can't bear the franchise continuing without him?Yeah, it will probably be rebooted again in 5 or 10 years, but the Jensen saga is probably dead for good, despite the fact that it was planned as a trilogy and they only released two games.it can't "die", even hitman was thought gone for all after absolution, it's still too popular, too recognized, to be completely abandoned. hell, we even got human revolution years after that one whose name i won't say. it'll be back, not soon but it will.
Which reminds me, I need to pan this on the unofficial curator. What an awful, awful game.What is dead may never die.

I know some people who would be pretty pissed off about having the Jensen tale end abruptly with MD instead of having a proper conclusion.Are there Jensen fans out there who can't bear the franchise continuing without him?
Done.Which reminds me, I need to pan this on the unofficial curator. What an awful, awful game.What is dead may never die.
Dishonored was awful.they already made a successor to Thief (sort of) with Dishonored
It was a terrible idea, but I find it quite amusing how most of the same fans who trash Invisible War for things like that seem to adore Human Revolution, which is even more streamlined. In the Jensen games you can't even perform melee attacks, which is utterly absurd.And the worst idea I had ever heard at the time: unified ammo system. No reloading and every gun uses the same ammo pool. Not sure if streamlining or just a terrible, terrible idea.
You can, they are just le extreme quicktime events.In the Jensen games you can't even perform melee attacks, which is utterly absurd.
