I only checked DX forums, so if there's already topic like this please let me know.
Now back to business, i know you guys are clever enough and in the know so you've probably seen already Warren's new studio's website (
http://www.junctionpointstudios.com/) Junction Point Studios.
Check the bios page. (btw experienced people there)
Some of the bios include notes and info about now cancelled project which was going to be 3rd Deus Ex.
And since there was mention the project was cancelled and Snowblind wasn't originally Ion Storm's project, I'm pretty sure they do NOT mean Snowblind.
Seems like Ricardo Bare was the lead designer and there was few others working on the project as well.

Ricardo Bare - Lead Designer
After studying Computer Information Systems and Philosophy at Howard Payne University, Ricardo began his professional career at Ion Storm in 1999. There he learned the ropes as a Game Designer and Level Builder on the acclaimed title, Deus Ex. Later, he served as Senior Designer for the multiplayer and PS2 versions of Deus Ex. More recently, Ricardo was Lead Designer on Deus Ex: Invisible War, and was, at the time of Ion Storm's closure,
Lead Designer on a third game set in the Deus Ex universe. He left Ion Storm at the end of 2004 to join Junction Point Studios as Lead Designer on their first title.

Robb Thomas - AI Programmer
Robb got his PhD in Computer Science from Northwestern University, with a specialization in artificial intelligence. He joined Ion Storm Austin in 2004 to work on AI for the
third game in the Deus Ex series before the studio was shut down and that project was put on hold. He joined Junction Point Studios in March 2005.
Seems like if Eidos ever wants that project released they will have to find someone else to finish it.
Does anyone know about the cancelled project even more than this ?

Heh. Those wacky guys at specialreserve, always dealing in games that aren't gonna be release. Or in some cases, were never even planned. :tsktsk:

Wait: does this mean I'm not going to get my pre-ordered Duke Nukem Forever GOTY edition?

You'll get it, but it will be an above-average action game that critics award 6s instead of its deserved 7s because it took so long to come out, and it will have enough interesting ideas and exciting segments to make it worth not-quite-full-price.
