Spector sure Eidos won't screw up Deus Ex 3

Deus Ex's Warren Spector reckons that Eidos will do a great job with the next Deus Ex game, but admits that it's not been easy letting go...

"Of course I'm going to play it," Spector said of Deus Ex 3. "It's just like I'm sitting here thinking, 'Oh my gosh, these are characters and situations and a world that I was so intimately involved with for so much of my life and now someone else is going to play with my baby!'" Spector told Next Gen.

He said it's hard to put that aside, but he's talked to "a bunch of guys" at Eidos "and they seem committed to the property, so I'm sure they'll do a great job."

Spector concluded, "It is hard to sit on the sidelines, but again, I've got other irons in the fire now and new worlds to create and conquer, so its all for the best."

Eidos has yet to reveal anything concrete about a new game in the Deus Ex universe, butlet slip in May this year that something is in the works.
