It is set before the first one the editor may have gotten a little confused, deus ex was released in 2000 not set in 2000

1. Saw Square Enix at the beginning.
2. Was afraid they were going to make a game about angsty teenagers with ridiculous haircuts and clothes.
3. Saw Eidos.
4. Was slightly relieved.
5. Saw the rest of the trailer.
6. ♫♪...and I jizzed in my paaants. ♪♫

STOP. STOP RIGHT NOW, ALL OF YOU. THIS MEANS NOTHING.
I fucking hate this. Show us gameplay! We want to know if you took a giant shit all over one of the greatest games of all time. I'm getting too old for this shit. Back off, hype. BACK.
THANK YOU!
I almost got all hyped up about it, and then you reminded me of this.
Fuck off hype! I never want you in my head ever again!

No one has the right to digitally render hair that well!

The plot looks like it will be the classic "Guy starts out fighting for the bad-guys, joins rebels" storyline ala Haze.

Ironically, that was the plot of the first Deus Ex.

Also, this looks awesome.

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.

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.
Same thoughts here.
I thought that a bit odd indeed...

Fucking awesome trailer. Any ideas on whether it will be an FPS/RPG again or if this will try to move in on Mass Effect's territory and go 3rd person?

JC wasn't a brick wall, he was actually pretty damn snarky if you examine his dialogue.

"I'm not much for books ma'am"

"Can you buy me a drink?"
"Suuuuurree.."

That is so fucking awesome and epic. It looks like some kind of epic badass action-scifi movie, and I don't know how well it will translate into being a game. But I think this will have a very strong story and hopefully some strong stealth elements. I will definitely be keeping my eye on this one.

DO WANT.

I was just recently thinking it was high time they released a new DX3 trailer.

The original is my number one game of all time. Invisible War was a passable follow-up, nothing special. I'm half way through replaying it at the moment, otherwise I would crack open the original now and start playing it through again for like the tenth time.

This is either going to be faithful to the spirit of the original and the best role-playing shooter since S.T.A.L.K.E.R., or a travesty that must be purged by fire and every copy wiped from the face of the Earth.

As a PC gamer I haven't played most of the games that people are saying its ripping off. I wouldn't even say it looks that cyberpunk. Done well it should be just as much Neo as Rambo.

I don't like the look of the Prototype/Crysis/etc over-the-top style of combat. There better be a good selection of less-lethal weaponry like in the other two games. I loved the fact that you could complete the game without killing hardly anyone at all. If you were clever enough, you didn't even have to knock anyone out, either.

The original pretty much invented the concept of a moral compass in games, being able to play as good or bad or anything in between, go in guns blazing or sneak around back. I better see an entire national defence budget's worth of hackable computers, security cameras, turrets and keypads.

As has been pointed out by others, the original's protagonist was kind of a blank slate, character-wise, so you could impress your own chosen personality onto him through your actions - the main part of the role-playing aspect of the game, and the angst of the guy in the trailer doesn't sit well with that.

I don't even know whose side I'm on.
Sounds like the moral compass is intact, at least, although it could just be Invisible War's cop-out approach again of letting you play both sides of the story tree in parallel, completing missions for the Order and WTO throughout. The original didn't really try that; it just had a core storyline that was open-ended enough that your motives weren't dictated to you by the game (except while you're trying to deactivate your killswitch, when your motive is to stay alive).

Corporations have more power than the government.
The conspiracy aspect is intact too, it seems. The most important part of the original story.

I could accept the presence of better tech than in the original, if there's some kind of mini-collapse at the end that would get rid of some of the technological advancement.

You'll never find ______.

I'll never stop looking.
Just who is he looking for? This better be good.

Will we see the Denton gene-pool being developed? MJ-12 splintering off from the Illuminati? Characters from the original? The augmented, ex-UNATCO barwoman at the Underworld Tavern always interested me, in the context of a prequel.

Well, detroit is certainly THE place to set a cyberpunk game, as that is the place the US auto industry began its boom.
And that city scape was beautiful.
Other than that, wtf was with the nano-breaker knock-off? am I the only person who sees the parallel? and...combining what I'm seeing here in the CGI vid, and comments from previous articles about "fighting moves"...and somehow I'm just not seeing this game as a Deus Ex sequel...that's not to say it won't be great, but yea, I'm betting this'll have little to do with the style and feeling of the original.
The "strange adventure music" from the new york streets, and the almost nostalgic feeling it evokes, and anything else like that, will most likely not be present.
that, and I betcha the "him" they're talking about turns out to be JC's father or something (or the male lead turns out to be JC's adoptive father, or something ridiculous like that.)

He could be the original genetic sample for JC, seeing as the Dentons weren't their real parents but just workers for the lab.

Although any real gameplay and screenshots have yet to be seen , from what ive heard they are allready straying well from the design principles of the original game. Regenerating health ala GOW , a cover system.. of course Very likely a dumbed down interface for Consoles.

I would like more than anyone I know for this game to be a true Successor to The masterpiece the original game was.
I just dont have any faith in any developer these days to take the risks neccassary to Achieve this. I also have yet to see any game Made in montreal by any company be worth playing..
