It looks like a proper Deux Ex sequel is on the way as Square Enix has filed trademarks for Deus Ex: Human Revolution in Europe and North America. Once one of the edgiest franchises in gaming, Eidos neglected the brand and let it fade into the background. Square Enix appears to have big plans for a Deus Ex revival. Hopefully it lives up to Warren Spector’s excellent vision.
While Deus Ex still means a lot to older gamers, there’s a new generation that has never heard of the series. Fallout 3 and Bioshock have shown that old brands can help sell to older players and great games will sell to everyone. Hopefully Deus Ex is treated similarly to those two games.
Are you guys and gals interested in a new Deus Ex game?
Never cared for these
@Smartguy That surprises me. You're a smart gamer and Deus Ex is considered smart action.
Don't let the name fool you.
If he knew "Who Dat" was, he wouldn't ask so much.

Maybe if I had played it on PC initially I would have been more endeared to this franchise. As it stands, my first jaunt with Deux Ex was on the Xbox and the controller didn't seem adequate enough for the game.
I would keep an open mind about a new one, but I wouldn't put it on top of any list.

I went to the victory parade tonight. Incredible.
Deus Ex is my favorite game of all time. To me, it is to games like Fallout 3 and Mass Effect 2 what DOOM is to the FPS genre. The sequel was pretty damn good, too, and got a bad rap. Without Warren or Harvey on a new installment, though, I have concerns.
I know a guy who moved up to Vancouver last year — presumably to work on the next Deus. Then just about everybody there got laid off. Doesn't bode well…
