I could have sworn that ended last month,could be wrong.

Just watching some achievement vids on youtube and the game looks so class! Definitely leaning towards this over dead island. Is the beta worth a download (is this illegal talk? forgive if it is

) to get a feel for the gameplay?

I only played deus ex once, last year, and must have been the old graphics but it lost my attention when newer games had come out. Too late to try deus ex again?

The orginal Deus Ex is still well worth playing.

There is a recently released texture overhaul mod that replaces 75% of the orginal in game textures with higher quaility ones.

So far a list of known reviews.

94% PC Gamer.
10/10 Offical Xbox Magazine
8/10 Offical Playstation Magazine.
91% Pelit (Finnish gaming magazine)
94% Games Master
10/10 Edge Magazine (according to people who have reciebed an advanced copy of the next edition)

Complaints so far are about the boss battles and long loading times.

I did notice longish load times in the beta build but it wasn't that big a thing for me.

Ordered the augmented edition from hmv.co.uk for €38 today.
Seems to be about the going price at the moment.

Those complaints wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

The boss battles in Deus Ex 1 were incredibly easy, too. When you maxed your weaponry to the max nothing except the robots and enemies in big numbers were a challenge.

Azza · 21-08-2011 1:00pm

I think the complaints around the boss battles is that your forced to fight them with no option for stealth. Which is contrast to the rest of the game.

Load times are probably longer on the consoles than on PC.

Gummy Panda · 21-08-2011 1:33pm

so can i buy a pc copy of amazon without worry?

EDIT: I see g2play.net are selling steam keys for €30. tempting.

Ok, that sucks. That really sucks. Sure in Deus Ex 1 the boss fights were easy, but how utterly awesome was it to discover - simply through dialogue trees and plot choices at that - Gunther Hermann's

Killswitch word, "Laputin Machine"; and watch him die without a fight!

. Those were the perfect moments that made Deus Ex 1 so great in the first place!

Captain Chaos · 21-08-2011 3:41pm

Same with Anna Navara, never found Gunther's after all his orange in the vending machine. Never did get his lemon and lime.:D

Andy!! · 22-08-2011 7:43am

Pre-ordered it, but couldn't pre-order the augmented edition, too late to do so

D'oh. I assume its just an art book and an extra gun or something, I'll google it now. Looking forward to it!

notahappycamper · 22-08-2011 10:50am

PS3 version or Xbox 360 version? Decisions, decisions! Will have to wait for a "Face off" on Eurogamer!

Sephiroth_dude · 22-08-2011 11:03am

Im getting the ps3 version.

Zero-Cool · 22-08-2011 11:08am

Getting it for PS3 off Gamesnash but going on holidays at the weekend so won't be able to play it til I get back by which time i'm guessing this thread will be spoilerific!

Started Deus Ex last night. What a class game! Just did the training and half way through 1st mission but mad to lash into it! I see a lot of mods to improve graphics, can anyone recommend one they have used and fully works?

Well; first of all; try out the latest version of the "New Vision" mod.

http://www.moddb.com/mods/deus-ex-new-vision

It simply gives you new/sharper textures. (There are other mods which give you Direct X 10 lighting, or new character models, or changed gameplay features, etc...)

Stev_o · 22-08-2011 1:15pm

Does anyone know if there's any Deus Ex explained Videos or articles? Was always interested in the story but never played the original

I'm sure any old dog of a PC would run the original by now. You could always pick up the PS2 version either. Its not quite as good but its still decent.

spankmaster2000 · 22-08-2011 2:28pm

I've ordered it from Gamestop.ie

Is it at all likely that I'll actually recieve the game at my house on the 26th (friday?).

If so; I'm going to ask for the day off work now!

(BTW I picked the "express delivery" option)

I'd imagine you'll probably get it the day before. Not sure if it will unlock via Steam (if you have the PC version that is) until Friday.

Azza · 22-08-2011 3:06pm

My pre-order been dispatched to me today. As it Steamworks I doubt it will be playable until Friday though.

Kiith · 22-08-2011 3:22pm

That's one of the reasons i'm not bothered about ordering it online. Won't be able to play till Friday anyway (i'd assume). I plan on picking it up on Friday in HMV.

where did you order from?

J. Marston · 22-08-2011 3:42pm

I've seen the ad for this on TV and watched a couple of trailers and it looks good but if I bought it, would the story be lost on me?

Well its a prequel, set 25 years before Deus Ex 1, so there will be hints to stuff from the first game but should be able to follow the story easy enough without a massive encyclopedia of knowledge from the first.

Gamestop just cancelled my pre-order :mad:

Augmented Edition is out of stock, they did however state they would include a free gift as an apology if I order the standard edition, which luckily for me is about €3 cheaper than Amazon.
