Deus Ex 3

    I have just seen the news article....I am trying not to get too excited about this....but....I just can't help it....!!!!

    Loved the original, my word it was visionary.  I would be tempted to say that it is better than (dare I say it) HL2  :wub:
    It was such a mature game for it's time and I really felt like I could make significant choices.  Anyone else a little giddy about this announcement?  The teaswer trailer is a little shitty though, however the original music sent a shiver down my spine.

    I know....the rate I am going through Mass Effect means that I will finish it just in time for this release (2009 anyone ;))

    You bastard  :angry:

    Nah, I can see where you're coming from, but in my mind they're two totally different games.  DE was an RPG with some shooter elements, IMO.

    It did blow me away though.  I took to making miltuple saves and approaching different approaches to each situation just to see how each would play out.  It was well ahead of it's time.

    The second seemed to me to be 'more of the same', which wouldn't be a bad thing, but it's the second album syndrome.  How do you beat near perfection?  Ion Storm never tried and they got slated for it.  Although to be fair, I never had time to play DE2, but the bit that I did play more than satusfied me.  It's one of those games I always promised my self I 'd go back to when I had time.

    Who's making the third?  Is Spector involved again?

    I never got into DE (on the PS2, mind). I saw it as a shooter with RPG elements, instead of the other way around, as I was supposed to do, apparently.

    I remember Edge going mental about it.

    I never got into Deus Ex either (on the PC, albeit about five years too late). I got through its (rather slow) 'tutorial' level and then into some tramp-infested subways before deciding it was dull as dishwater and way too fiddly for its own good. More rubbish broken stealth malarky ruining the choice-making process somewhat.

    I remember a friend of mine going mental about it. It's probably too late to enjoy it now; the graphics make my eyes bleed.

    Never really got into the Deus Ex series myself, but I only had a short go of Invisible War, which apparantly wasn't as good. Can somebody explain to me what exactly the "big deal" is about the franchise?

    Invisble War was not as good as the first one, which I really enjoyed on the PS2.  Didn't Edios close down the studio?  Hopefully they'll do justice to the source.

    Not the franchise, but the first game.

    For it's time, it was truely revolutionary.  It made use of physics in a way that no game before had, had a diverging storyline through out the game, controlled by your actions, had multiple factions that you could ally yourself with or make enemies of either secrtely (ie , eve they didn't know) or publicly, and the situation you found yourself in were more open ended then the most expansive missions in Hitman 2.  Plus the combat was pretty kickarse.  Add in the RPG elements and what you've got is one of the most compleet games ever made.

    It's looks haven't aged well, though, and I wouldn't play it again.  It's best left to rose tinting, IMO.  No need to soil the memories.

    And Yeah, the studio was shut down and Warren Spector went onto other things, so I don't know who'd be working on it.

    I just read the press release on this.

    "Deus Ex is one of our best franchises."

    Is that so, Mr Marketing Man?  Then why did you close Ion Storm and do all in your power to distance Dues Ex Clan Wars from the original IP?

    Anyway, Spector's not involves and it's being made using no names from Eidos' Montreal studios.  Tabernac!

    Sounding good...
  • MIkesMIkes +1 -1
    Ooooh, shiny.

    DE stands along with Zelda OoT and the first two Baldur's Gates as the best RPG/adventure game I've played.  I skipped the second one due to not hvaing the time to play, but with mini-Mikes on the way I think I'll be spending more time at home, and having a game I can puase (IE, not online) would be handy.

    I may pick up the sceond and have a swing at it, also.
