It looks great but I?ve all way?s been a believer in don?t believe the hype, so I won?t be shitting my pants with excitement until the game's in my DVD drive. I?ve found if I spend too much time looking into a game's development before I get it I am often disappointed in them not meeting feature's promised or in some way not living up to what they/ people / I say the game will be like. Waiting to find out exactly what?s in the game when you get it means everything is a surprise, and you get the OH MY GOD THEY PUT THAT IN! effect rather then meh it could have been better if they?d done it in blah blah blah method.
*sigh*
I really wish people would ditch the whole "Invisible war was a crap game" thing, because it ISN'T. I just wish people would learn how to review it on its own merits, rather than comparing it to the first game, which was slightly better.
Yes, slightly. People blow the slight quality difference massively out of proportion, though.
If Deus Ex had never existed, Invisible War would have been hailed as one of the all-time great games. Instead, its slightly superior predecessor means that it's doomed to be unfairly panned for the rest of time as "bad", when it's not.
If I have one single goal in my whole life, it's to at least make ONE PERSON see reason over this.
Anyway, Deus Ex 3, woo. Definitely looking forward to that. Hope it uses Unreal 3.

I'm going to answer to why I put in this statement.Melaisis said:
Basically - I was amazed with Deus Ex as was everyone who played it. I couldn't beleive that a game was this good - that someone actually put so much effort into a program.
I played Deus Ex 2 and the reason why I was disappointed is because what made Deus Ex good was taken out. The complexity was reduced, the story was shallower etc
I am going to buy the third installment but they need to return to what made Deus Ex great.
Looks good, never played the first one but I played about halfway through DE2 and loved every second of it. The reason I didn't play the first one first was because from what I'd heard I'd just be disappointed by the sequel when I was finished with the first. So I played the "worst" game first and never got around to finishing it and starting on the "best" one.
Might need to get around to that before I start playing the third.

If it's as good as Deus Ex (the first one) only with better graphics and not as lame as Invisible War was, then I'll be interested. I loved the first Deus Ex game and played the crap out of it. Invisible War, not so much. Didn't even finish the first half of the game as I got bored with it.
I was disappointed in IW, but I didn't hate it. No it wasn't nearly as good as DX but it was a damned good game taken on its own merits. If this game had been called CyberShock, or FutureShock then the critics would have peed themselves saying how great is was, how innovative and original just like they did with BioShock.
Deus Ex:
- Re-awakened my interest in cyberpunk to the point where I started reading William Gibson.
- Was so mesmerising that I've played through it over a dozen times.
- Featured exactly the right kind of near-future technology in a believable manner.
- Made me want to read through every word of every datacube, email and newspaper.
- Had a hilarious developer quote file.
- Had characters and factions I could empathise with or genuinely dislike.
- Made me search out every last detail like the hidden conversations with Ford Schick in which he tells you that you've been a carrier for the Gray Death for years, etc.
Invisible War:
- Did/had none of the above.
- Quote file was not hilarious.
- Made me buy two Kidneythieves albums. Which are still awesome.
Besides the fact that Invisible War did away with the masses of text that I loved trawling through in the first game, besides the fact that it was clearly a console port beaten in the weak attempt stakes only by Star Trek Legacy, besides the inexplicably AWFUL universal ammo system, and the fact that they completely altered Chad Dumier's character seemingly on a whim, and the fact that the Greys talked... the biggest damn problem Invisible War suffered from was that it had an intro movie that was better than the rest of the game in its entirety. Also, having the guy who voiced Walton Simons provide an identical voice for one of the scientists in said intro movie and leading us to believe that maybe this character was in fact the Wade Walker figure from the tank in Area 51, NO, a brief holo-comm dialogue with Dr Nassif reveals that this character was... a bloke called Stan. Who was never seen again.

I honestly don't get why people expect DX3 to be bad. Clearly Eidos is aware of what was wrong with IW, and since 3 wasn't one of the titles to be scrapped they are pretty adamant about not only being sure that it's going to be released but they also are damned sure it will be good. They want this franchise to be successful.
the problem with IW its that didnt delivered what we expected, i mean the rpg system we liked of the original was taked out, the scenerarios were smaller, i dont knw how much changed the characters, but the plot didnt inspered me to keep going on the game.
