It's about time this franchise was brought back into the spotlight. The original still stands as one of the best games, well, ever. While the follow-up, Invisible War, was a bit of a disappointment, there's no denying the potential of what Eidos Montreal is cooking up for 2011. From what's been shown off so far, it looks as though the focus of development is on all the right places. Lots of ways to approach each encounter, a flexible character development system, and of course a sweeping story of conspiracy and betrayal.
Though this is the third game in the franchise, the story is set before the events of the first two. It's a time before the proliferation of nanotech. Instead of tiny machines, people rely on obvious metallic implants to augment their abilities, hence protagonist Adam Jensen's arms and super strength. While there hasn't been an opportunity yet to actually play the game, what's been on display so far makes this one of the most exciting games on the release calendar.
