I dont know anything about the series. Why is everything so....yellow?

Uhm, watched the gameplay trailers. Im not...very interrested actually.

Is it 3d person or first? I cant tell if they changed to third person just to show the charachter or if you will change to third when you melle or do a headshot or something.


Anyway, main charachter sounds very, I dont know, rouge future badass batman?

Ill watch the reviews when it comes out, but right now im just not very interrested.

Holy shit those graphics gave me a boner:shock: I'm looking forward to this game actually. I was never a fan of futuristic shooters, especially the generic ones that I've seen being released recently, but I loved the original Deus Ex's story and the fact that it gave you choices in how you could progress through a level. i'd leak to see more of the same but with larger, more populated open environments and better a.i.
As far as voice acting is concerned it does sound pretty meh, but I normally set my standards lower for video games. As long as it's bearable ill be happy. Other than that though I have high hopes for this one *fingers crossed*

The first game with very revolutionary for its time. Its aged really badly, but it introduced open-world settings and decisions that actually affected the game world to first person shooters. Before that FPS games were basically like 'Doom'. Not that there's anything wrong with Doom, but Deus Ex and System Shock showed how something different, deeper and more story based could be done with the genre.

I have high hopes for the new one. If they retain the spirit of the first with modern gaming technology then it could be killer. Lets hope so.

And yet another stupid DLC system.
One edition will have one guns, another will have other guns and additional mission.
No good.

What?

Big deal. I know pre-order bonuses are irritating and all, but it's just one mission and a few guns. It's not like half the game is locked away.

Is this gonna be a straight FPS or will it be open-ended and open world with RPG elements

Evidence points to the second one.

Apparently a beta version of the first 10-12 or so hours of the game was leaked onto torrent sites. Surprisingly, Eidos has taken the whole thing in stride, actually encouraging members of their forums to link to non-press reviews of the leak, and making no effort to have torrents of it taken down. I guess they're confident in their game, which makes sense since the reaction seems to have been mostly positive.

I'd try it myself but so far the only torrents I've found were unreliable and/or too many leechers to download at more than a snails pace.

Oh, and there's another new trailer that looks pretty good.

I loved Deus Ex. It was really something quite special when it came out. I never tried the sequel and only heard bad things about it. Human revolution looks good, but I'm slightly worried about the damage to immersion that those obvious hints guiding you through the levels might do. Such as walls that can be blasted being outlined in yellow, and passcodes to doors lying on the floor of public bathrooms.

That, and the fact that many levels involving gun fights look to be designed as shooting galleries with good cover available everywhere, much like the boring and repetitive levels in Mass Effect 2 for example. For me, a lack of challenge in general coupled with no incentive to really "discover" the details in each level might discourage me from buying this game. I'll wait to hear what people have to say about it.

I don't think you have to worry. That yellow outline can be switched off and from what I hear the game heavily encourages stealth over gunplay.

As for lack of challenge/incentive to explore...



You might notice that getting shot once managed to reduce the player's health to half, and the AI is (supposedly) very impressive and dynamic, so there's that. Like I said, I don't think you need to worry.
