Deus Ex is ported to PS2, and Warren Spector himself has written a nice development update on this topic. at IGN. Dig this:

    DX on the PS2? Trust me when I say a lot of people thought we were insane when we embarked on that project!

    "You can't squeeze a game like DX onto a console -- it's too big," they said.

    "First-person perspective games don't sell on consoles -- you have to go third-person," they said.

    "Console gamers want more action, less thinking and more linear gameplay -- and brighter colors," they said.

    "That's a lot of hooey," we said. "Gamers are gamers. Gamers want great games -- end of story."

    We went into the project hoping we were right and that the naysayers were wrong!

    Now that we're in the closing days of the project, I'm happy to report that, from a creative standpoint, at least, we WERE right. DX is up and running on a PS2 and we didn't have to make any significant compromises to make it work.

It will be interesting to see how the game is received by the console community...
