In a recent interview with Shacknews it came out that the PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution is not being handled by Eidos Montreal themselves. Personally I think this is a little bit troubling, since it usually ends in a rather poor version of the game, when it is being handed out to another developer. The developer taking care of the PC version is the Netherland based studio Nixxes Software, who recently helped make the PC versions of Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light and Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, which both aren't completely bad ports, so maybe the PC version could still turn out great, even though the focus is on the console versions.  
  
So what is your take on this?

Not good news.

Consoles are the future, baby!

:(

" @Meltac: I play GoL on my gamepad but it's a surprisingly solid PC port. It's quite a feat when you consider the fact that it's a dual-joystick shooter!  So while this isn't fantastic news I have some faith in those Dutchmen. "

Well, unfortunately, I don't think the game's looking that good anyway. But still, yech :(

From what game play Ive seen the game all ready does not look good anyways...

Kane of Lynch 2: Dog Shit was  actually not bad of a PC port in my humble opinion.

ah really? after saying all that shit about how they care so much about the game and its history, do they know it was a pc game? poop.

I don't like the sound of this, but this news isn't enough to get me into panic mode.

Dog Days' PC version wasn't bad.

Hope there is a  PC demo cause from the recent gameplay video I wasn't impressed with more disappointed  trailers made that game look so great talk about deceiving IMO.

As a PC only gamer I'm very sad that PC is not the lead platform of any new games so... Dunno... I'm hoping for PC ports at least as good as ME2. I'm not hyped about this game. I won't be buying it unless the internet goes bananas over it.

That's pretty disappointing that they're considering the PC version a "port" seeing as Deus Ex was a PC game.

The problem is not that someone else is doing the port.  The problem is that they're making a fucking Deus Ex game for consoles.  AND THAT SURE WORKED OUT LAST TIME, AMIRITE GUYZ?!?!?!?!?!

I haven't had any problems or complaints with the GoL port. Granted, I played it with a 360 controller, but still.

Doesn't matter to me. I always buy console. Not only that, but the version they've been showing off is usually the PS3 version, which bodes well with people like myself (you will see that my name appears BLUE for a reason). 

ive never played a Deus Ex game, and when i did recently, i found them outdated 
 so its from a totally neutral stand when i say that its saddening and devastating to see a game thats called the greatest PC game of all time have a console-based sequel .. fucking sad. 
 
either way, that game looked silly and im not that interested in it. maybe i'll pick it up

my money is on the pc version being perfectly fine. i'm still getting the 360 version though, probably.

Sometimes this can be a bad thing, but not always. For example the PC version of Mass Effect original was worked on by Demiurge Studios, and it was a magnificient version. It all depends on who is doing it. I'll reserve judgement for the timebeing.

Let's hope they port it better than Sega ported Bayonetta.

That's a disappointment.

" Let's hope they port it better than Sega ported Bayonetta. "

" @Ahmad_Metallic: Exactly! The 'port' could of course turn out fine, but it is the continuation of one of the most beloved franchises on the PC, and then they just give the PC version away to another developer. It's kind of a dick move imo.   Though I'm fine with the game coming to the consoles, it could just have been handled differently.  "

Hearing this news just reminds me of Invisible War. Which is a bitch to run. 
 
I have both on steam and the original runs flawlessly while I can't get the sequel to run.

" Dog Days' PC version wasn't bad. "

" Not good news. "

Typical. Guess this will probably end up being yet another port I use a controller with.

Finally there's news on the PC version. The first impressions are good:  http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/05/06/how-deus-ex-human-revolution-feels-on-pc/

Kane And Lynch 2 was not a bad port, it was a bad game.

well, it doesn't matter. according to this benchmark site, this game is very well optimized so that even old PC have no problem to run. take a look at here.  especially, read the conclusion section. you guys even like it more.

I’m not very impressed by the game, mostly because of it’s choppy graphics and I’m afraid Human Revolution will not bring any new fans to the Deus Ex series.

I’m not really a fan of this engine because graphics aren’t that good and for a game with a name like Deus Ex a more potent engine should have been use.

In my eyes Crystal Engine looks similar to the Source Engine used in Half Life 1 but not as sharp.

I... er... what?? Windows 8? WTF kind of troll article did you link to?

I guess there was a Windows 8 leak, but still, WTF at everything happening in there.

That's pretty disappointing that they're considering the PC version a "port" seeing as Deus Ex was a PC game.

Kane and Lynch 2 was a fine port (even if it was a mediocre game).

I have no misgivings about those people doing the PC port. I think the game will be just fine.
