Magness Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 First info I've seen on it... http://pc.ign.com/articles/789/789321p1.html Awesome news I loved both Deus Ex games (although Invisible War had plenty of technical issues)...

Ron Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Absolutely loved the first one, but I heard the sequel was pretty bad and avoided it... Loved the flexibility in character development & problem solving. I played through the first time using stealth, stealth upgrades, and silent-kill type weapons. Ran through a second time trying to tank it up. I still remember how, after killing everyone on the first level, all your ally-AIs are kind of freaked-out and afraid of you... excellent. I hope they can recapture the experience of the first game in this new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I think Bioshock is the spiritual successor to both System Shock and Deux Ex in the sense Deux Ex was the follow-up to System Shock and Bioshock is being made by the original team, or something like that, right?

Romier S Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 A couple of years on, but Deus Ex 3 has materialized with a new trailer. I'm sure there was a more recent thread but this is the only one I could find! http://gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2010/06/04/deus-ex-human-revolution-trailer-envisions-a-dark-near-future.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 In-game screenshots and it looks damned good! [ATTACH]4347[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]4348[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]4349[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]4350[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]4351[/ATTACH] MMmmm Noir-ish type atmosphere with a JC Denton style character. Color me excited. I just hope they don't completely destroy the feel ala Invisible War. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrik Draven Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Sure hope it's better than the last one. Totally forgettable. I played it, and can't hardly even remember much about it, other than it wasn't very good, imho. I'll wait on this one, to hear from forum members opinions.

Magness Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Saw the trailer yesterday and it really floored me It's looking great and has a real "Blade Runner" feel from the color palette and character/environment design; which is perfect for Deus Ex IMO. This game can't come soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zot Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Wow, talk about back from the dead. I hope this is good - the first Deus Ex was great, the second just lukewarm. Would love to have something new and fresh. Or someone could remake Syndicate and do it justice. Now there was a dark future game if one was ever made.

Derrik Draven Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Syndicate??? Oh man...classic Bullfrog!!! Someone could remake their whole damn gaming series and I'd be happy!!! LOL ...but no, we'll get Fable 3. I missed out on the original Deus Ex. Was knee deep in all things "Thief" at that time. Can only remember bits n pieces of Deus Ex 2, hence the "forgettable" comment I made previously. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogbert Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Syndicate??? Oh man...classic Bullfrog!!! Someone could remake their whole damn gaming series and I'd be happy!!! LOL ...but no, we'll get Fable 3. Lionhead doesn't own the Syndicate IP, EA does. Man, I wish a developer that's cool, like Starbreeze, was working on a remake.

Romier S Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Eurogamer has a nice preview with some new screenshots: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/deus-ex-human-revolution-preview?page=1 It helps, of course, that the game is utterly beautiful and its world painstakingly created. As you descend the metal steps into one of Shanghai's main streets you see that it's an area where the Eidos Montreal team is letting itself go full-on Blade Runner. The narrow, neon-streaked avenue is bathed in mist and smoke while a huge number of characters get on with life beneath the moving video-adverts that stretch off into the sky - from winking Asian ladies selling fizzy drinks to a solemnly glowing butter-like spreads. Below, pedestrians make their way through the streets, heavily armed cops make their patrol, prostitutes ply their wares on street corners and shifty guys leaning on walls look on over the scene. It's a sight that genuinely takes your breath away. As does (having either beaten up the doorman, beaten him in verbal banter, snuck round the back, gone through the sewers or - rather boringly - paid your entry fee) the inside of The Hive club - where a good 50 NPCs dance, gyrate, order drinks and pose in stunningly realised environs. Turns out that we have come a long way from jumping up and down in front of the Lucky Money mirror after all. I'm REALLY getting hyped for this!

Romier S Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 E3 demo impressions: In the demo I was shown, protagonist Adam Jensen is flown to an island off of Shanghai where he?s tasked with hunting down a notorious hacker with ties to the Triads (a group that calls back to the first game in a way that should make fans smile). The first location Jensen searches is a packed night club called The Hive. On the way to the club, Jensen can choose to talk to the many NPCs filling the streets. Each of these characters has dialogue options, potentially giving you more information on your location or even presenting a sidequest. Upon getting to the Hive?s entrance, Jensen is stopped at the door; only ?members? can get in. There are numerous options here. Jensen could talk to NPCs in the area to figure out an alternate way to gain access. He could sneak around the back and find a different entrance. He could simply kill the bouncer blocking his path. In this case, he chooses to hand over the money for the membership so as to avoid causing a scene before he?s even in the club. Once inside, Jensen stalks the club for a while, asking random people where he can get more info on finding the hacker. Eventually he makes his way to a gruff bartender who seems to know more than he?s letting on. What blows me away here -- perhaps more than anything else in the demo -- was the NPC?s eyes. Eyes are a notoriously difficult body part to make realistic in video games, but in Deus Ex the eyes and the motions during conversation seem completely natural. At one point, the bartender tells an obvious lie; I can tell by the way his eyes look down from Jensen?s without his moving. Later, he tells Jensen that he doesn?t know what he?s getting into and turns his whole body knowingly. Matched with the very detailed character models, these subtle movements are a touch that makes the conversations significantly more effective than in the average conspiracy-driven video game storyline. Though the bartender is unhelpful, Jensen chooses to leave him alone and seek answers elsewhere in the club. Wandering down one corridor, he overhears two of the Hive?s armed guards talking about a misplaced security card. This eavesdropping is done completely intuitively by positioning yourself near the guards and listening in ? the game wisely doesn?t need to pull you into a cutscene or take away control for you to gain this necessary information. Needless to say, Jensen locates the missing the card, which contains a keycode that he can use to go deeper into the facility. After this portion of the demo focusing on the game?s more adventure-y aspects, I got to watch a second level that showed off the combat skills. Jensen begins by using the strength augmentation to lift a heavy box out of the way of a secret path toward a warehouse he?s looking to enter. Past that, he moves another box over to directly below the window to a small guard outpost. Jumping onto the box, he?s able to silently open the window, sneak inside, and perform a stealth takedown kill on the unsuspecting guard. This opens up his path, though I?m promised there are ?at least five different ways to get into the warehouse.? The takedowns, which all look incredible, are automatic kills that can be triggered when up close to an enemy. They could make combat a lot easier than it needs to be, but they also serve to make the stealth gameplay very approachable and satisfying. In one great takedown I saw, Jensen drops down from a crate, landing next to two guards who he almost immediately stabs through the neck with blades that pop out of his elbows. Does taking out a mere two guards with a single move not seem impressive enough? In another, he drops through a ceiling window, this time landing directly in the middle of four guards. Jensen then spins in a circle, releasing a ton of shells that fly toward the enemies around him and explode on impact. Four enemies dead with one stylish button press? Hard to complain about that. The most questionable aspect of Human Revolution so far is the actual full-on gunplay ? the kind where you?re not being stealthy and just taking dudes out with an assault rifle. This was also arguably the weakest part of the original Deus Ex, so it makes sense to be wary. That said, the cover-based shooting mechanics looked totally passable and potentially even a bit enjoyable. They just weren?t nearly as interesting or unique as all the other cool stuff that was shown off during the demo. One element of the gunplay that looks kind of neat is weapon customization. At the end of the demo, Jensen is attacked by a giant robotic creation. Jensen puts away his machine gun and grabs a rocket launcher for this fight. Luckily he?s upgraded the gun with heat-seaking rockets, allowing him to stand far away behind some boxes for safety. From that position, he fires into the air and watches his missiles move in an arc as they lock onto and destroy the robot. In a final cutscene closing off the demo, Jensen is confronted and attacked by a giant, muscle-bound bad guy with a nose ring and a slight Southern drawl. This unnamed opponent talks Jensen?s ear off and then draws his weapon: a chain gun that appears out of the cybernetic enhancements in his arm. This villain seems like he?s straight out of a Metal Gear game, and I say that in the best way possible. The gameplay of Human Revolution is already capturing my imagination. If the story can pull in some of the wild inventiveness of a Kojima narrative, Eidos Montreal may have one of the most unexpected franchise revivals ever in its hands.

Romier S Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 20 Minutes of behind closed door footage from E3. Shaky cam so not great quality but you get to see a great deal: http://screwattack.com/videos/Behind-Closed-Doors-Deus-Ex-Human-Revolution-pt1 http://screwattack.com/videos/Behind-Closed-Doors-Deus-Ex-Human-Revolution-pt2 HEAVY Blade Runner influence. I'm a sucker for a seedy night club scene though. It looks quite promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, I've gotta say, that download site sucks. 39 minutes, yeah right, WTF is that, dial up??? I'll assume the videos are awesome.
