Deus Ex is my favourite game of all time, probably fairly easily to be honest, too. Deus Ex 2: Invisible War was better than it was given credit for I thought, and as a stand alone game, it would have been pretty good. Problem is, it was following on from Deus Ex, which simply did everything better.
The main aspects of DE were deeply woven story lines, free form nature of tackling problems followed with enjoyable enough combat and RPG elements. Deus Ex: IW lacked a bit in the story telling department, and everything felt a bit...odd, to me, though I still enjoyed it.
This new trailer seems to me as if they are going even further away from the original premise. The technology seems to be doing a Star Wars-esque move, where in the allegedly earlier movies (1,2 and 3) had better technology than the later ones (4,5 and 6). Not a huge gripe, but it seems like combat is the main focus. But then again, I suppose it is easier to show off combat than story line.
I will wait and see what comes of this, I've been disappointed far, far too many times by sequel movies or games to get my hopes up too high just yet. I pray it's awesome though.
