Deus Ex: Human Revolution E3 Trailer Hits the Tubes
- Thread starter Andy Chalk

Well it certainly looks good, but that's a lot of cutscenes for a game that should be about making choices. While I'm glad to see what probably is the the first big unapologetically cyberpunk work since Snow Crash and probably a cyborg that can do more cyborgy things (i.e. punch through walls instead of just lifting very large crates) I'll remain skeptic until the game is on my hands.
It does, Deus Ex takes place in the mid 21st century (the precise date is 2055 IRRC).elricik said:
So it's a prequel... I guess that makes sense, what with mech-augs being outdated in Deus Ex, and the protagonist of this game being a mech-aug.
The trailer looks good, but that doesn't mean anything. Let's hope the gameplay is up to snuff.

SO...
this doesn´t evolve beyond AYNTHING there was already in Blade Runner and the Ghost In The Shell Series, Esp. since it´s looking like Ghost In the Shell 2 Innocence, which looks like - but was not ispired by - Blade Runner.
Fine with me, perfect Setting!! Just wrap it up in some decent Gameplay and you have an Instant Longtime Hit.
...you better do, Eidos.
BTW...somehow our Future seems very 'brown'....

It is a prequel. The post specifically states that Human Revolution takes place in 2027, 25 years before Deus Ex, which was set in 2052.elricik said:
And yes, as pointed out, it does suffer from "[insert favourite prequel here] Syndrome," in that it looks far more advanced than the original game despite supposedly being a quarter-century older. Not much to be done about that. I'm a little concerned about it, I admit, but I'm hopeful that Eidos will be able to pull it off. I can live with hugely advanced visuals as long as the story remains true to the original - for instance, Adam's mechanical augs look far more streamlined than those of Gunther Hermann, but as long as they're technologically in line, I can live with it.
The hassle I went through getting System Shock 2 to work (while worth it) was quite a bit and that's an old game. I may have a look and see if it has the same kind of issues.Andy Chalk said:
EDIT: It appears that it is a lot more compatible with Vista which is promising, it is also available on Steam. It looks like I have found the next game to try out after replaying SS2.
Exactly. Whatever about the gameplay, this looks almost worth picking up for the cinematics alone. It looks incredible...Casual Shinji said:
I don't know about Vista but it runs great on XP, straight-up. Then again, so did SS2 so ymmv.Legion said:
I replayed it fairly recently and to my mind, it's held up really well. I'm a pretty big fan of the original so take that for what it's worth, but I really think that DX is still a very playable game. It's definitely dated but there's so much depth to it that it hardly matters. Let us know how it goes.
This is freaking awesome ^~^! I loved the first Deus Ex, and was okay with the second one. Though I have been waiting for Deus Ex 3 for a while now. I am excited to see that they kept to, what seems to be, the spirit of the first Deus Ex. I didn't like the story of Invisible War as much as I liked the story of the first Deus Ex. The trailer is unbelievably awesome, with certain references to ancient culture( as was the case with the first Deus Ex). The wings of Icarus, the painting of surgeons around the body (which I forgot the name of). The ideas are all there, this may be one of my most favorite games.
Holy crap was that ever a cool trailer - if the actual gameplay is only half as good it will still be a damn fantastic game. Personally I don't really think the "outdated technology" looks more advanced so much as it just looks "prettier" - the overall styling of the mechanical augmentations looks very much like what the original game was trying to go for, albeit restricted by the limitations of the Unreal engine at the time.
For example, here is Agent Navarre (standing next to a Sims version somebody made, heh):

Its title piques my interest. Squeenix is good at making pre-rendered trailers and cutscenes, that's nothing new. I don't think anyone was expecting the game to look bad. Whether the game will live up to the original in terms of gameplay will remain an unanswered question for now, though.geldonyetich said:
