You're a jerk, Monday. A real jerk. There are few games closer to me than designer Warren Spector's Deus Ex <span class="tooltip-content"> <span class='tooltip-tab-container'> <span class='tooltip-tab-wrapper active' onclick='tooltiptab(this);'><span class='tooltip-tab PC'></span></span> </span> <span class='tooltip-active tooltip2 PC'><div class='tooltip-name'><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/pc/9542/deus-ex/index/" title="Deus+Ex">Deus Ex</a></div><hr /><span class='tooltip-column'><ul> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/pc/9542/deus-ex/news/" title="Deus+Ex news">News</a></h6> (4)</li> <li><h6>Previews</h6></li> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/pc/9542/deus-ex/review/" title="Deus+Ex review">Review</a></h6></li> </ul></span><span class='tooltip-column'><ul> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/pc/9542/deus-ex/videos/" title="Deus+Ex videos">Videos</a></h6> (2)</li> <li><h6>Screenshots</h6></li> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/pc/9542/deus-ex/cheats/" title="Deus+Ex cheats &amp; walkthroughs">Cheats and Walkthroughs</a></h6> (60)</li> </ul> </span><div style='clear:both;'></div></span> </span><div class="arrow"></div> . Sure, the sequel was barely worth playing, but there was so much more that could have happened with that universe. Spector apparently thought that, too, as he told The Cut Scene's Chris Morris that he attempted to re-acquire the rights to Deus Ex.

“There were and still are Deus Ex stories I would like to tell," he told the blog. "That story is not done for me."

Be still my beating heart.

Spector was developing what appears to have been a spiritual successor to Deus Ex at the Disney-acquired Junction Point. Disney now owns the rights to this unannounced project, but with Eidos moving forward with Deus Ex 3 <span class="tooltip-content"> <span class='tooltip-tab-container'> <span class='tooltip-tab-wrapper active' onclick='tooltiptab(this);'><span class='tooltip-tab xbox-360'></span></span> <span class='tooltip-tab-wrapper' onclick='tooltiptab(this);'><span class='tooltip-tab PS3'></span></span> <span class='tooltip-tab-wrapper' onclick='tooltiptab(this);'><span class='tooltip-tab PC'></span></span> </span> <span class='tooltip-active tooltip2 xbox-360'><div class='tooltip-name'><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/xbox-360/49329/deus-ex-3/index/" title="Deus+Ex+3">Deus Ex 3</a></div><hr /><span class='tooltip-column'><ul> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/xbox-360/49329/deus-ex-3/news/" title="Deus+Ex+3 news">News</a></h6> (4)</li> <li><h6>Previews</h6></li> <li><h6>Review</h6></li> </ul></span><span class='tooltip-column'><ul> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/xbox-360/49329/deus-ex-3/videos/" title="Deus+Ex+3 videos">Videos</a></h6> (1)</li> <li><h6>Screenshots</h6></li> <li><h6>Cheats and Walkthroughs</h6></li> </ul> </span><div style='clear:both;'></div></span> <span class='tooltip2 PS3'><div class='tooltip-name'><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/ps3/49331/deus-ex-3/index/" title="Deus+Ex+3">Deus Ex 3</a></div><hr /><span class='tooltip-column'><ul> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/ps3/49331/deus-ex-3/news/" title="Deus+Ex+3 news">News</a></h6> (4)</li> <li><h6>Previews</h6></li> <li><h6>Review</h6></li> </ul></span><span class='tooltip-column'><ul> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/ps3/49331/deus-ex-3/videos/" title="Deus+Ex+3 videos">Videos</a></h6> (1)</li> <li><h6>Screenshots</h6></li> <li><h6>Cheats and Walkthroughs</h6></li> </ul> </span><div style='clear:both;'></div></span> <span class='tooltip2 PC'><div class='tooltip-name'><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/pc/46163/deus-ex-3/index/" title="Deus+Ex+3">Deus Ex 3</a></div><hr /><span class='tooltip-column'><ul> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/pc/46163/deus-ex-3/news/" title="Deus+Ex+3 news">News</a></h6> (4)</li> <li><h6>Previews</h6></li> <li><h6>Review</h6></li> </ul></span><span class='tooltip-column'><ul> <li><h6><a href="http://g4tv.com/games/pc/46163/deus-ex-3/videos/" title="Deus+Ex+3 videos">Videos</a></h6> (1)</li> <li><h6>Screenshots</h6></li> <li><h6>Cheats and Walkthroughs</h6></li> </ul> </span><div style='clear:both;'></div></span> </span><div class="arrow"></div> , the dream of a Spector-headed sequel has been dashed.

Still, it's nice to dream. And I wouldn't mind seeing Spector's new age take on the idea.
