The online listing for GDC this year just let a cat out of the bag for Eidos. The lecture titled, “Creating a Unique Visual Direction: The Successes and Failures of Creating a Near-Future Cyberpunk Setting with a Renaissance Twist in Deus Ex 3” should pretty much kill any speculation on whether or not there is going to be a third game in the series.
The 60-minute lecture at GDC 10 is going to be given by Eidos Montreal’s art director, Jonathan Jacques-Belletete, about how the game has it’s own ‘Cyber Renaissance’ style about it and how the team managed to take elements from past, present, and future to create a look that incorporates all three. Seems pretty interesting and if I was going to GDC 10, I might go if I had ANY artistic talent.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
