Will we see a Sequel to Human Revolution?

I would like either a remake of the orginal Dues Ex with everything it had orignally, but with a Human Revolution coat of paint, or a game set before the orginal and after HR, possibly showing what happened after HR, and maybe showing the event that lead to UNATCO.
I'd love it. I'm a little sad that we're done hearing Elias Toufexis, though. I really liked Jensen, overall.
There's indeed quite a bit of ground to cover between HR and the first DX, so I'm not worried. Or, heck, they could scrap Invisible War from the continuity, restart a post-Deus Ex timeline or maybe even consider Invisible War as canon and show us whatever comes next. Even in the case of the Omar emerging victorious, I can't see that being the end.
Whatever the case may be, a female lead would be awesome.

I can't imagine a game that enjoyed both critical and player success as well as financial success would not be considered for a sequel. I'm actually surprised nothing has been anounced about such as yet and further, that there haven't been any expansions/DLCs (since Missing Link).
The game, in my opinion, was a master piece. It had some flaws, yes, but none of them could detract from the overall whole. The non-optional boss fights with, as Yahtzee suggested, uncharactarised antagonists, the jerky character animations, the gold colour filter over everything and the always-annoying "ending machine" that I believe detracts from the choices made throughout the game. The endings could've been better and my only other criticisms are the same as I would have for any console-developed game that's ported to PC...too consoley (small maps with frequent load screens, 7 year old graphics, etc). The press-button for cut-scene takedown I would prefer to see gone too, in lieu of actual melee weapons.
But these flaws are nowhere near enough to put it in the "flawed gem" category, with Alpha Protocol, VTM: Bloodlines and the ilk. The gameplay, characters (not the mercs), pace, ambience, story were brilliant. It was polished like a mirror and a tie (with Skyrim) for best game of 2011 (and 2012 as well, since there hasn't been anything this year to come close to either of those). I wish they had finished Montréal as a third hub city and would've loved more content, more story, etc.
I would love to see a sequel, and suspect we may see one in the future. But in the meantime, I *believe* it's the same team at Eidos Montréal working on Thief 4. As long as they kept the original voice actor of Garrett, I would punch a hundred hobos [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLIHnWxGj_s] for a copy of that game!

It's a prequal isn't it? So there has already been one. Before it even came out... Mindfuck. 
Still, I dunno, the game did pretty well, so I doubt it'll die.

There were rumors about Square Enix hiring people to work on a next gen Deus Ex title. HR sold well so we'll definitely see another one. Is it going to be a direct sequel though, with the same characters? Probably not.
human revolution was a great game with a absolutely atrocious ending. ME3 got absolutely crushed for it's forced choice ending, yet HR didn't get nearly as crucified.
granted there are some apples and oranges comparisons between the two, but any game the forces me to make a stupid choice at the end of a game full of ambiguity is shooting itself in the face.

To me at least, it wasn't really the characters of HR that were the appeal, but the narrative and the setting. Jensen was interesting sure, but a sequel could work without him or any of his supporting characters.Adam Jensen said:
Human Revolution never had a Casey Hudson figure telling us there would be dozens of endings or that our choices would have a major impact on what ending we got.Ascarus said:
The endings were also in line with the different perspectives that had been discussed throughout the entire game. They weren't last minute pick your favorite color endings, but extensions of Sarif, Darrow and Taggart's ideologies.
I'd like to see another deus ex game done in the same way the Final Fantasy games are sequels to each other, with a few overarching themes and similarities (in FF's case Cid, airships, certain monsters etc., in DE case transhumanism, conspiracies, cyberpunk) but no conjoining plot. One of the problems HR had was that as a prequel it had to lead up to the original and be consistent with it, which made the plot a bit more constrained, and having it be a new setting (basically just an AU of deus ex) would give them all sorts of freedom to write something interesting.
