Warren Spector tried (and failed) to buy the Deus Ex franchise

Warren Spector, despite the fact that he has (temporarily we hope) left the PC game space to work on some Wii game called Epic Mick-something-or-other, is still in love with the Deus Ex game franchise. How much? So much that, according to a new Variety article, he tried to buy the rights to the series from its current owners Eidos. Unfortunately for us, he failed.

Spector clearly wants to work on the franchise saying, "There were and still are 'Deus Ex' stories I would like to tell. That story is not done for me." Eidos' Montreal studios are currently working on Deus Ex 3 but they have been extremely quiet for the most part on their progress since the game was announced two years ago.

I say they voluntarily bring Spector on board for DX3 before they get a chance to screw it up again. No more console gaming crap--that's not why I bought DX2. I bought it for story and for strategy, like the first.

Such a shame that never happened... Maybe Spector will try again? I can only hope so.Posted at 11:00AM on Nov 4th 2009 by Skisher
