RPS: Warren Spector's Junction Point Closes

I'm curious as to where Spector will go next. Perhaps he can finally make that spiritual successor to Deus Ex he's always wanted to do.

I was under the impression that the Epic Mickey games were closer to what he wanted to do than Deus Ex was. In any case, it's a bummer, I would have really liked an Epic Mickey 3. Maybe he can land a gig with WB and do an homage to the Avery/Clampett era.

I saw the tweet yesterday, and after the horrible reception Epic 2 was met with, I am not the least bit surprised. Oh well, NEXT!

I've been under a similar impression as well especially given Spector's recent remarks in interviews about working with Disney. However, when he first went to Disney he was pitching a spiritual successor to Deus Ex before they asked him to work on Epic Mickey. Anyways, some of these article (although a bit old) discuss some of these matters concerning Spector's spiritual successor among other things.

I hope this doesn't mean that they've cancelled the PC port of Epic Mickey 2, which is probably more or less already complete and waiting for release.

Alright, Spector, you had your chance. Now go on back to "...making games about guys in black leather carrying guns." (http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=18986#.UQhewh1EFqw)

I am surprised you of all people are looking forward to this. It was just terrible. Easily skippable, and it can be RedBoxed for a song.
