I find it somewhat amusing that CVG's article header has a picture from Deus Ex. This guy still gets all the hype for GOTY 2000 Are Deus Ex fans still waiting for the "real" sequel or has the media just decided WS can somehow be associated with the success of the first game but not the poor reception of the second? My personal view is he gets way too much credit for the first one, not enough blame for the second and has yet to prove he can make anything worthwhile without the talent pool ion had back in the day. Deus Ex is a masterpiece but what did he do to get so much credit? Maybe someone can enlighten me here.

It's interesting that he wants a game that gives the kind of freedom a game can offer, while absolutely loving the Zelda games, which run the player along one set story arch and really don't offer THAT much freedom.

WS was also involved in a lot of good stuff before Deus Ex. Besides, it's not just one person who makes a game. You need a lot of talented people all at once.
