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!!!!!

In DX2 you can flip flop between various organizations and no one cares, which like I said earlier, makes the missions rather pointless.

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.

when you get to the top of the steps/ramp at the docks head right and follow that way round, its longer but easier.  also there are some items in a basket in the water near your start point

You have to shove the barrel into the water so it falls on the sunken boat, then you have to shoot it with your pistol to blow it up, then you have to swim down into the boat to grab your goodies, one of them is a weapon mod and I believe there is a combat shotgun down there as well.

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

Yes, but at the same time I don't judge games by their names. If you compare all FPSs to DX1, you're going to be disappointed by everything.

[SpardaSon21]

He isn't comparing all FPS's to Deus Ex, he is comparing a game with the Deus Ex name to Deus Ex.

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.

If they don't return to the awesomeness that was the original game in the series, they aren't getting my money.

IW was an entertaining game, but to place it in with DX is just an atrocity.  DX is light-years apart from anything else (well, except maybe System Shock 2).

f.e.a.r and its addons is a formidable game

It's not a bad game, actually, it just doesn't live up to its antecedent.

New Trailer

<Yes Please>
I really liked the music they were using, it had a very DE1 feel to it. And that is one attractive trailer.

[Fury]

Oh lord. That trailer is bloody amazing. I seriously hope the game delivers.

Speaking of Deus Ex (which I've never played), here's a really neat Let's Play:

That video doesn't show any actual gameplay, but they seem to have at least gotten the atmosphere and artistic style right. It feels perfect for a Deus Ex game.

Here is a better one.

It's a beautiful trailer, but the apparently lack of in game footage, like, anywhere is somewhat concerning.
