Warren Spector is a gaming godfather you son of a *****.
Thief, Deus Ex, and whats arguably the greatest game of all time, System Shock 2.
Only a POSER would insult Warren Spector.
So he says this years after Deus Ex 2 was a disappointment?
Ah man... A part of me just died. System Shock 2 and Deus Ex pulled the RPG fan of me into the FPS world. If it wasn't for his contribution to gaming, I wouldn't be giddy over Fallout 3.
I guess we will have to wait and see if his FPS/RPG style would produce something unique in the casual-saturated market of today.

He wasn't making fun of Mr. Spector, he was making fun of all of you 'hardcore' folks accusing him of selling out by being even more 'hardcore' than you were. Beautiful insult and it flew right over their heads.Aries_Split post=7.72952.783581 said:
Mr. Spector worked on System Shock. System Shock 2 was Ken Levine's baby.
No, because even if Treyarch never existed, Infinity Ward would have still made call of duty 4.ReepNeep post=7.72952.783700 said:
Stop being belligerent!
Ah, Warren. It seems like my love-hate situation with you has come to an end, as you have committed career seppuku.
At least you won't be making any more bad, canon-ruining sequels like Deadly Shadows and Invisible War... one can hope.
Wonder when Ken Levine will get back to his former glory? Was I the only one disappointed by Bioshock? I know Yahtzee was along the same points that I was... ("shallower than was advertised")

ReepNeep and Aries, both of you just forget this happened, report all your posts and tell the mods to delete them because they both don't make any ****ing sense (well, at least to me).
Seriously I'm gonna go take some LSD or something and re-read your comments, I'll probably be enlightened or something - after all, the guy who discovered DNA was on LSD.
OK so anyways, I still think people are overblowing this. Warren Spector is just saying "My next game after Deus Ex 3 won't be...well...what you expect it to be. I told you before hand so don't get pissed off...OK? Oh you're pissed off....well fuck, that was pointless."
Still, I have faith in Mr. Spector, because he's just good. Maybe, JUST maybe, he may abandon his fans, but if he's not making games he likes he's gonna hate his life. Even if he is doing less work for more money.

Hmm. Isn't that odd...? I thought people were tired of the typical Futuristic shooter with the Marty Stu protagonist trenchcoating his way through armies of bad guys. I guess the hundreds of posts on this very site decrying same-y shooters were a loud minority.Joeshie post=7.72952.778996 said:
Yes, stupid us for consisting of 2.25 Billion dollars of the industry's marketshare. It's not our fault we don't dedicate 27 hours a day to games. Though I still fail to see how gaming casually has any bearing on this guy not wanting to make another Deus Ex clone.bluemarsman post=7.72952.779073 said:
Honestly I never really got into the original. Or System Shock either, for that matter.
*Pauses to allow people's hearts to restart*
Idk, it wasnt the gameplay, which was well done. I guess maybe I'm just not a fan of Cyberpunk.
I didn't say they were like all the others. Well I kinda did, but that wasn't what I meant, and I edited that part out. I just said I never got really into them. I thought they were good, well thought out games, I just didn't like the whole 1984 meets 2001 meets WRPG.
If he goes out of his way to make a shitty game and then proceeds to hype the fuck out of it, so it sells on dreams of fun game play alone, I'll be just as pissed off at him as I am now at Will Wright.
Make a game that's actually fun with some substance, and you'll have a minimum of complaints.

I can't wait to see Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Donald Duck in black leather carrying guns.
Kingdom Hearts 4: Eternal Darkness
Coming in 2010!
Comedy aside, if all he had said was:
"I love working with Disney because I'm so tired of making games about guys in black leather carrying guns," he said at the time. "I don't want to make those anymore."
Then it'd be kind of sad to see him turn his talent elsewhere, but in the end good to see him keep making games he enjoys. However the rest of that article was nothing but MOAR MONEY LOL bullshit.
