Re: Deus Ex 3 trailer
 

I'm on the fence with this one, they've got 3rd person (albiet only while looking round corners I think), regenerating health, and have followed IW and remove stat based shooting. On the other hand, it looks like it will have a great story, is keeping some stats, and the new augs will be epic. I'm pleased to see Adam wearing a trenchcoat :p.

I've been a Deus Ex fan since I first played it in 2002 when I was 10, so I'm still gonna buy it and hold high hopes for it!

These are (apparently, though there's some bits that look Photoshopped) some in-game screenshots, since the trailer shows us nothing in that respect:

What you mean about following IW with removing stat-based shooting?

I hope not (being a money grab). PC gamers don't need another announcement of DRM or price hikes to ruin their mood.

I also hope this game is longer than 10 hours.

Also, no MP (well, co-op maybe). This game doesn't need an MP component, and it may serve as a distraction for developers from the SP component.

I should have perhaps clarified 'IW', meaning Invisible War, not Infinity Ward - my bad =p

Re: Deus Ex 3 trailer
 

I hope those screenshots aren't real. They look like in game renders thrown over bits of concept art.

Re: Deus Ex 3 trailer
 

Ahh. Ok. No problem.

Re: Deus Ex 3 trailer
 

It certainly looks loads better than Invisible Wars, even if it IS optimized for consoles. This could blow HL 2 out of the water. It just has a much more serious and sinister look to it. What was up with that Terminator ending though? Looked a bit too much like a rip off of the time travel in that movie, except fully clothed.

Re: Deus Ex 3 trailer
 

Looks like a worthy successor to Deus Ex, though not much tangible to go on yet.

Deus Ex is my most admired game of all time, I think it's of a depth and quality which hasn't been matched since.


It's graphics might not match up to this new one, but it's storyline is going to be hard to beat.

Re: Deus Ex 3 trailer
 

Judging by the trailers, it looks like they abandoned the cyberpunk and dystopian enviroment of Deus Ex in favour of the more military science fiction that Invisible War had. I won't get my hopes up, especially now Warren Spector isn't working on it.

Re: Deus Ex 3 trailer
 

Wow holy snap that looks great and the story looks epic! Just need to see some gameplay now and I'll what it!

Re: Deus Ex 3 trailer
 

No, that is not their intention at all. They merely wanted to give this prequel a different look because it deals in a time where augmentations were just in their infancy, and thus the struggle between right and wrong in doing so. I have read and watched GameSpot's text and video interviews and they describe how they wanted not only to keep the Cyberpunk feel, but emphasize it with metaphors drawing parallels to the early stages of man exploring human anatomy, such as Davinci's drawings from the Renaissance period.

You have to keep in mind that this being the beginning of the era of augmentations, would be a lot like the dawn of our recent golden internet age, where the .coms flourished then fell. So there won't likely be as much dystopia, but you'll clearly see the beginning of it where big corporations are rising to power and people are rebelling against their use of scientific advances. IMO everything seems to fit in look, feel and story so far, but of course it's too soon to judge the overal package.

In Deus Ex Human Revolution, they have the potential to in fact epitomize what Cyberpunk is all about, and I think that is ultimately what they're going for here. Players new to the series will be drawn in too because this installment is basically where the story starts. It is definitely going to deal with the struggle between cybernetics and the greed and polarization it causes between the rich and the poor in a near future society trying desperately to keep up with technology, fight against it, or become a victim of it.

Don't be fooled by the screenshots. They've only shown near future Shanghai and Detroit and militaristic battles so far, but they do say there will be hacking into corporate locales and slum environments left desolate by the poverty corporate greed leaves in it's wake. There will be lots of hacking possibilities, not just militaristic battles.

Check out these interviews, they both mention how they want to keep the Cyberpunk feel, but with a different atmosphere:

FINALLY! NEWS!
At first when I saw Square Enix I was like, "oh fuck..." Then I remembered, this is Deus Ex. It has to be on PC...

I hope they make it much more open-ended than Invisible War (I never tried the first so I don't know about how open it was). Allowing mods in today's generation would be a bonus as well.

March 2011.... Its going to feel longer now that I know its releasing at that date.

P.S. I also feel its taking a more Mass Effect approach now. Or maybe its just the trailer, I mean even the background music sounds something like its from a ME soundtrack. Or maybe Mass Effect became a good role model.

Re: Deus Ex 3 trailer
 

Or maybe Mass Effect took a few pointer from the original?

Somehow I feel like you're implying the common denominator = Cyborgs or the protanganist having mechanical augmentations.

I felt the common denominator was more of a, vigilante looking over the sky scraper kind of atmosphere. Like you're the only one who can make a difference kind of atmosphere. Plus the way they narrate the trailers.

I hope streets are properly populated now. As in, distinct differences in number of people on streets and alleys. Also, non-limited merchants, I hated how the Omar in IW was limited.

EDIT: Also, is that how newscasters dress in the future? If so, then take me to 2027, I'm liking what I see.

Just a couple of things about the actual gameplay and DX:HR in general for those who are interested:

Gameplay Article

Fan-Service Article

interview with the Lead Designer

The first article in particular actually has increased my faith in EM's work, so now I just can't wait for the damn game to come out!

Re: Deus Ex 3 trailer
 

I'm not sure I like that they're using quite a bit of the gold and black theme. Some of the interviews kinda hint at it being primarily done in Shanghai, but I seem to recall in Adam's X-ray vision mode the soldiers silhouettes appearing in gold frame in a clip shown in the video interview with the art director. One of the interviews says something to the effect that gold neon artwork on lavish buildings in Shanghai denote that the wealthy dwell there, so it IS a bit of a quick color coding guide vs looking at a map constantly, but still, the gold and black theme we've seen so far seems overly prevalent.

Re: Deus Ex 3 trailer
 

Gameplay interview.
Does not really say how expanded areas are now. Just says it will be still open-ended exploration...

Re: Deus Ex 3 trailer
 

Dues Ex 3 demo is being shown next at E3. You can watch it here.

It starts at 11:30 PDT.

Re: Deus Ex 3 trailer
 

Missed that, and all I can find via searches is the trailer already shown. Is there a video recap of the actual E3 demo somewhere?

Re: Deus Ex 3 trailer
 

It should be up tommorrow.
