Deus Ex: Human Revolution

[SpardaSon21]

At least it is going to be on PC as well.  At the very end of the trailer when it is announcing more at E3 there is a "PC-DVD" symbol in the lower-left.

I guess I need to play the second one, now. 

[General Battuta]

You don't. This one's a prequel.

The second one wasn't awful but it wasn't brilliant like the first.

[TESLA]

You don't. This one's a prequel.

The second one wasn't awful but it wasn't brilliant like the first.

With the second one, didnt really care about the factions. Not as good as the first one. Did enjoy throwing cups around though

[headdie]

be interesting to see how a prequel would play out, we have the problem that the story path to the first game will be pretty obvious to anyone who played it unless they manage to make it mostly/totally non UNATCO related

as for invisible war it was ok and defiantly fun to play (well it was until I ran out of ammo in my first play through) though it was more arcadie and less immersive i dont think it did as much damage as many of the industry insiders reckoned.

by the way who here recons snowblind should have carried the Duce Ex name like it was obviously supposed to

[NGTM-1R]

And to think you all could have picked up both of the originals on Steam for 11 bucks on Monday.

[nucas]

my only lucid memory of deus ex 2 is of herding an npc into a shower early in the game and turning on the water, which killed him.

didn't get very far.

project snowblind felt more like deus ex to me for as silly and over the top as it was.

[BloodEagle]

Okay, I acquired a copy of DE: IW, and (so far) it all seems rather forced.  I keep imagining the characters doing that little 'make-quotes-with-fingers' thing whenever they tell me something that might-possibly be important.

[General Battuta]

Just to make sure, we did clarify that Deus Ex 3 is a prequel and there's no reason to play Invisible War, right?

[CP5670]

It's worth playing in any case. It's not comparable to the first Deus Ex but is still better than most other FPSs I've seen and has a lot of good ideas.

As for DX3, I think we are essentially going to get a repeat of DX2. All the stuff we've heard about regenerating health and how the first game was "too slow" suggests that this will be another game targeted towards casual gamers. Despite that though, it could still be a very good game.

[SpardaSon21]

I hope DE3 has augs and such, although they'll probably be actual cybernetics instead of nano-enhancements.

Invisible War doesn't exist. It's a non-game. Never mention it's heathen name again.

So, in going with DX2 are they also going to have no location damage, shallow characters, stilted voice acting, meaningless missions (since you could do anything you wanted and no one cared), no skill points, universal ammo packs, and *insert whatever else was wrong with the DX2 cluster**** here*

[CP5670]

Except for the universal ammo, the things you described apply to 90% of the FPSs out there.

They are going back to normal ammo. Apparently there are skill points but they only affect the augmentations, and the stealth is only line-of-sight based and is not influenced by lighting or shadows. As for the damage system, it will have COD-style regenerating health, never mind location damage. The standard system in DX2 sounds pretty good compared to that.

Like I said, don't expect DX1 here, but it could still be very good compared to FPSs in general.

[SpardaSon21]

I'm sorry, a game with the Deus Ex name is going to have stealth based solely on whether or not they are looking in your direction, regardless of the fact you may be wearing a matte black outfit and standing in pure darkness?  And skill points are going to affect augs and nothing else?  The only thing that could make this game worse is if they decide to slap some ridiculous DRM on it.

In a game most probably centered around cybernetic enhancement, including visual, you're going to ***** about people being able to see in wavelengths other than the visible?

[Mongoose]

Maybe a simplified Deus Ex is what I need.  I tried the original once, and I managed to die within five minutes of starting the first level on two or three separate occasions.  I know I need to give it another shot at some point, but the preliminary results weren't exactly encouraging.

I'm going to ***** about a game where an un-augmented human can see in wavelengths other than visible light.

The original Deus Ex was no ordinary shooter, and so anything with the Deus Ex name should reflect that.

[BloodEagle]

I barely managed to make myself finish DX2, and wish to have the development team drawn and quartered for the atrocities unleashed upon my fragile psyche.

And dear Lord, the bugs!  Random citizen shoots me in view of random security guard (speaking a which, most underpopulated game world, ever), random security guard decides that this makes me a bad guy, despite the fact thAT WE WORK FOR THE SAME ORGANIZATION!  ARGH!!!!!
