Am I the only one who hates how 99% of games and movies portray cybernetics?

Seems that this game will offer a path...you can go for or against it.


"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Some Gameplay Trailerage

Notice how it's being played with a joypad. I'm not saying... I'm just saying... Actually, yeah, I AM saying.

That gameplay looks pretty nice, I'd go as far as to say it looks better than the original DX's does. :warp:

For the record, I first played Deus Ex as a PS2 port and it worked just fine. The only differences I can see are that the player had one health pool instead of locational damage and inventory management was a little more streamlined.

I don't like it, I feel they have placed a lot of effort in developing the graphical and cinematic stuff whether I would have loved to see more development in areas such as security breaching, experience feats, localized damage.
I just hope the story to be at least acceptable.

That's the problem, a story that's only acceptable would be terrible just because standards are that  high.  :(

Actually AFAIK they made hacking a lot more interesting by liberally borrowing from Uplink. Let's wait an see.

Well we saw barely any real gameplay anyway, just a hacking and fight scene.

I'm looking forward to this game even though I expect it to have problems. As I said earlier in the thread, another Invisible War-style game would actually be a good thing today. I like the game's art style, although it does look too futuristic given that it's set before the first game.

That's a pretty significant change. :p From what I read, the PS2 version also had console-style autoaim and shortened maps due to the memory limitations.

did you watch the video?
the frikking guy just walked to the console, the menu opened right away... I saw no hacking.
(sure might have been left open by the guy just fainted away but still mehh...)

And then... ta tan ta tannnnnnn:
He got a astonishing menu and three options which where:

Drones:
Default
Disable
Enemies

LOL

And those options only make sense assuming the menu is something "shown" by a personal gadget, I doubt the building defenses will detect your IFF and give you the option to attack everything it was supposed to protect... right?

Did you watch? Apparently not. You can see the hacking mini-game later in the trailer. Pay attention. It looks awesome, and also a lot like Uplink, which was awesome.

That 'astonishing menu with three options' is pretty much the same as the menus in the legendary original DX1, which worked fine, thanks.

What? The original's story wasn't particularly remarkable, and the voice acting was atrocious.

What was remarkable was the freedom granted within the game.
I will ask that you explain yourself. Please do so with the clear understanding that I may decide I am angry enough to destroy all of you and raze this sickening mausoleum of fraud down to the naked rock it stands on.

Add depth of world, integration of events and scenes and sensible level design and you're onto something. You could find small clues and details to later events and a whole lot of eastern eggs or just fun stuff all around the place.

I like that it allows several different kinds of approaches to situations like you'd expect but Deus Ex, but is it just me or does the combat seem fairly dull and how to say it, old? It's like watching a trailer of much older game. But I guess all is fine as long as the content and execution is as good as it was in the original Deus Ex. The original Deus Ex had rather dull combat too, so...
