| Tomb Raider game-engine will be powering Deus Ex 3 |
| November 30th, 2008 |
On August 26th, Eidos Interactive's new Montreal studio revealed that Deus Ex 3 is in development,
today word is out that this new video game will be powered by the latest Tomb Raider game engine developed by Crystal Dynamics.
"We chose the Crystal engine because we plan to help develop this engine more and then share it back with the rest of the company,
the other Eidos studios. Having that technology from the start gives us a great advantage and foundation for our coders - there are
no doubts about the approach, and we have few uncertainties", developer Stephane D'Astous told Develop magazine.
He added: "We just want to all work together on improving the same technology as we develop our game".
D'Astous continued, stating that the game is a major challenge for the new Eidos Montreal studio, but that his team is proud to be working on such a prestigious series.
"We did our research to find out what worked well, what people enjoyed about it - especially the first game. The second was a
success in the eyes of some, but had some ups and downs, so we've tried to identify what worked well in that game," he explained.
"Most importantly, we're extracting what worked well and can be applied now. In the five, six years since that series arrived
technology has changed significantly and we have to be careful - we don't want to create more of the same. Instead we've
identified the features that can be transposed well onto new technology that arrived several years later."
The game maker added that all the developers feel the weight of responsibility on there shoulders, and will be working hard
to live up to expectations of the fans.
