Eurogamer: Eidos' next big game is Deus Ex: Human Revolution from Eidos Montreal. Will it live up to the hype?
Ian Livingstone: It's been quite a long time in development but it's been well worth the wait.
Eurogamer: What is Eidos' expectation for it?
Ian Livingstone: It's a legacy product. Warren Spector of Ion Storm put out two amazing games over 10 years ago. PC Zone voted Deus Ex as the best PC game of all time. Being a legacy product with a huge amount of heritage, you've got to live up to the expectations of the consumers.
I can safely say enough time is being given to realise the potential of the game so not to disappoint the audience.
Eurogamer: Commercially, do you see it being a monster hit?
Ian Livingstone: I would hope so. At the end of the day it's a niche product, of course. Augmentation in the far future, the battle between warring factions it's a tough subject matter for some people, but it's going to be of such amazing visual quality that people who have not been drawn into science-fiction before might give it a go. I would hope so.
