(http://www.mcvuk.com/news/34955/Jobs-lost-as-Square-Enix-absorbs-Eidos) End of an era, really.

On the plus side, Deus Ex 3 is apparently (http://twitter.com/sdastous) more greenlight than ever whatever that means.

how many shades of green exist at eid...square enix montreal ?

Eidos Montreal still. The name will still be used for the developer studios, just not the publisher anymore.

As for DX3, it seems Square Enix were evaluating Eidos' projects and for a time DX3's future was somewhat uncertain, with René claiming they were still full at work on it, but did not have the green light to publish any info, and some other sources claiming development was basically frozen as of May 29th.

Bah. Talk about waking up to bad news. And if Square actually reevaluated DX3 for its green light, I can't help but wonder whether this has entailed any... changes...

Also, "Britsoft"? Really?

Not really necessary. They already have a protagonist with somewhat spiky hair and a big guy named Barrett who has a gun for an arm.

hmm, they still can make him more androgynous or just erase his sex completely. and give him a 11 year old female sidekick in short panties.

I'd play it.

So would I.

Then I would kill the entire dev team.

I have always been a huge fan of Eidos games, whether they published or developed them. They have some of my favorite franchises, and the number is in the dozens.
