Square Enix has announced that the first collaborative effort between the Final Fantasy publisher and the (fairly) recently purchased Eidos Interactive will in fact be Eidos Montreal’s next installment in the Deus Ex franchise.
As Square Enix general manager Stephane D’Astous told Edge Online, “Deus Ex 3 is going to be the first project which will be a concrete product of joint effort between Square Enix and Eidos. The cinematics—by which I mean any CGI pre-rendered cinematics — are going to be done in Tokyo by Square Enix, and that's going to be amazing."
D’Astous went on to say that the Square team is especially excited about the project since it will be their “first project…that’s a non-Final Fantasy title – they even want to work on Thief 4 too, so everyone is really excited.”
When I think of Deus Ex cinematics, the first thing that comes to mind if the opening of Deus Ex: Invisible War, because I can still remember being floored by it (When that goo melts down that guy's arm and goes on to consume all of futuristic Chicago? Come on!). So the thought of Square Enix creating “at least the trailer and the introduction cinematic” has me thoroughly intrigued.
I haven’t thought about Deus Ex: Invisible War in a long time, but I remember really digging it. Am I misremembering?

I played the original Deux Ex on the PC when it was first released and it was amazing for its time (not as good as System Shock 2, but still good).
Hopefully the new game will be well done, but I shudder to think of Square Enix doing the cinematics. Just what we need -- purple haired women (and men who look like women) wielding twelve foot swords, uttering poorly translated English...

I think it's an interesting development, I'm still a little worried about a rumor I heard in regards to it being a tactical shooter...that scares me. I'm not going to bother getting my hopes up for the game, because I know how much people expected from Invisible War and how much they hate the game now.
I didn't follow the hype machine with Invisible War so I'm lucky enough to have enjoyed the game without being overly critical of some of its departures from the first game.
Though I can recognize it was not as good as the original, it's still a game I can go back to and play without foaming at the mouth.
