The folks over at GameZombie bring yet another developer interview. This time it's with Kyle Stallock, Eidos Montreal's community manager.

Jason Schreier claims Eidos-Montréal layoffs are tied to a canceled original game not mentioned in the studio’s official statement.

Eidos Montreal has imposed another round of layoffs, announcing today that 124 employees have been put out of work. Longtime studio head David Anfossi has also left, although it's unclear at this point whether he resigned or was also laid off.
I guess we’re never getting another deus ex game. Or any game directly made from this studio.

One of Eidos-Montréal's cancelled projects, a Lord of the Rings title with a Telltale-like story, gets its first look, revealing the setting.
could be GOTY... Deus Ex rocks and nearly not enough people know it cause there to busy thinking Mass Effect is a good game. If it werent for Deus Ex, Mass Defect wouldnt be a game.
exactly how i feel... its already getting gr8 reviews
