OXM - Interview: making Eidos Montreal, Human Revolution and Thief 4

OXM - Stephane D'Anstous is a very humble man who has achieved some very impressive things. When he started at Eidos Montreal, he was the only employee: from there he built the studio, and put together the team that turned a ten-year-old franchise into one of the best games of 2011, Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Now they've got to do it all over again with Thief 4.

An update from Eidos Montréal

Crafting emotions since 2007.

OtterX127d ago

The Embracer Group brings the Embrace of Death, once again.

staticall127d ago

Yeah, they should be renamed to Embarrassment Group at this point. Bought every studio they could lay their hands on just to fire people from them, close them or cancel their games.

ROCKY28127d ago

100 % The CEO is a PIG and it showcases how Embarrassment Group has always been a sham of a company
within the game industry !

Eonjay127d ago

Seems like the most turnover is being generated by companies making acquisitions and cuts.

Abnor_Mal127d ago

Ahhhh a man of culture, Futurama is the best.

thorstein127d ago

It's like they don't know their behinds from their elbows.

UPS just signed all their drivers to a huge contract.

In order to afford the contract, UPS is laying off management.

That's how all of this should work. Lay off management. That's how a business can be more "efficient."

God this hurts, I love Eidos Montreal. They make great games.

Si-Fly127d ago

They’ve not closed the studio.

VincentVanBro127d ago

I know, but they laid off 97 employees and canceled my most anticipated release from their studio.

Xenial127d ago

Shouldn't laugh because of the situation. But that did make me lol.

Psychonaut85127d ago

Bro f$&k Embracer. How do companies not even understand basic concepts like “don’t count your chickens before they hatch”? And now all these peoples lives are upended because of it.

KwietStorm_BLM127d ago

Fkn trash. They had no business buying up all those studios with house money. I been waiting so long for the next Deus Ex. All these large scale consolidations are bleeding out the industry one at a time.

CantThinkOfAUsername127d ago

They were banking on Saudi money. When the Saudi Government backed down everything fell apart.

RaidenBlack129d ago

Who even cancels a new Deus Ex game? Are they stupid or something? Its Deus Ex ffs!
Embracer is now acting worse than Square Enix!

XiNatsuDragnel129d ago

That's sad fr *plays Tokyo ghoul theme song*.

RiseNShine129d ago

Better than Embracer they should be called Dismember.
