Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Niska

Opps - it's Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Teaser trailer debuted at the GDC yesterday. And it's a prequel.

All the game-sites have info on it, here's the IGN one:

Can we be expecting a role-play game like the earlier Deus Ex games have been, or simple lineal first person shooter? - tyxor

Deus Ex: Human Revolution uses the first Deus Ex game, which perfectly married the first-person shooter and roleplaying game, as its reference point

We also wanted to ensure that our levels are larger and more open than in Invisible War (i.e. Hong Kong in Deus Ex 1).

In terms of being a Deus Ex game, we keep the core gameplay essence alive: that being a hybrid of action-RPG in which the core gameplay mechanics revolve around combat, stealth, hacking, and social aspects. The gameplay is largely designed around giving the player choices which have consequences; the core values are centered on letting players play the game the way they want.

Yes. Being a prequel to the original game, our story starts about 25 years before the start of the first game.

Couldnt really give a sh1te about a prequel as long as the game is good

its the thought of Deus Ex 2 that make my mind curl up into a fetal position everytime I think of it, at least the developers are trying to recapture what made Deus Ex 1 so special, fingers crossed they keep their promises

They should stop making movies and put some work into releasing the game quicker. Cuz I wanna play it! There's been no in-game footage, right?

Also, I wonder will the graphics be better or worse than invisible war, seeing as it is the prequel...

Sephiroth_dude

That looks cool,is it out this year?

Mr E

September I think....

folan

is this DE 3?

or another game in the same vein?

InReality

Hope they do better than with IW. I couldn't get into that at all.

I remember being blown away by the trailer , the game was a major disappointment in comparision.

Quote from the lead designer "...the original Deus Ex was "kind of slow, There weren't enough exciting, memorable moments. It was aimed more towards a simulation rather than a game experience."

The first one I would place in my top 3 games of all time. Great story and atmosphere from start to finish. I really hope they pull it off with this one. DE2 was such a let down, if it's not broke don't fix it.

sweet Jesus why does everything have to be dumbed down lately

is it a severe lack of an attention span or just lazyness?

Nope but they have made a decent game or 2 before. Ion Storm made the original but are now pretty much dead.

never heard of square enix

It shouldnt. Prequels can be very good sometimes. Just like Origin Stories. Look at Iron man vs. Iron Man 2 Its way more interesting to watch it develop than it is to watch him fart around the screen in a big shiny suit.

Some of my favorite books were prequels, too:

Technically:

Shadow of the Colossus
is a prequel to Ico.

Burgo

Looks like it wouldn't be a half bad film.

Mr. K

So cool. The music is excellent. Gameplay please!

With the buget they have they still couldn't find some decent voice actors. Ugh. Developers far too often forget how important voice acting is. Assassin's Creed 2 had fantastic voice acting, first game in a long time that I can say that.

Seems like a mixture of MGS and the Matrix to me, which makes me happier than a kid at christmas.

Here's a link to some real time screenshots. I imagine they're screenshots from the console version?

Well I guess it's in keeping with the first Deus Ex.

I SCHPEEL MY DREENK!
