Square Enix to Handle Deus Ex 3 Cinematics

Square Enix’s acquisition of Eidos Interactive hasn’t affected much up to this point, but now Edge Online brings word that Deus Ex 3’s cinematics will be handled by the former’s studios in Tokyo.

“Deus Ex 3 is going to be the first project which will be a concrete product of joint effort between Square Enix and Eidos,” said D’Astous. “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.”

Explaining the background for this announcement, D’Astous said, “It was in April when Square Enix acquired us, and by June, July I was trying to think of a project we could do together. One morning I woke up and I said, we’ll, they’re known for their cinematics, so why not get them involved with those?”

If there’s even a tinge of anime in the sequel, it’ll lose much of its appeal to me.
