Deus Ex 3: 'Ready When It's Ready'

Speaking to NowGamer at Edinburgh Interactive, the long-standing industry figure said: "As for Deus Ex, it was voted best PC game a couple of years ago so there's a lot of equity in the brand and we want to fulfill people's expectations. It will be ready when it's ready. The heritage that Warren Spector gave to the title cannot be abused."

The ambitious title was announced at the end of 2007, and is in development at Eidos Montreal, where Livingstone insists the project is going full steam ahead.

"I've been over there three times," he explained. "It is looking amazing and there are some really novel bits of gameplay in there. Graphics are a commodity now but people will always remember the gameplay. That's what I try to do, to make sure there's that one moment, that one wow factor so that people will tell their friends. Because word of mouth is the best way to promote the game."
