This is pretty much where I stand too. In fact, all this talk of DX has made me want to take J.C. for another spin 'round the block. Except I don't have the disc here - damn! Maybe I'll get it off Steam instead. I rate the original as one of my top games ever, along with Thief: The Metal Age and Thief: The Dark Project.

IW was a pale shadow of DE and this lot are not Warren Specters team.
Deus Ex is one of my favorite games of all time, I have played it enough times that i don't remember the number any more, it that making anything measuring up to it in my mind hard? of course. Will i judge it harshly if it doesn't manage to measure up? depends on how it falls down honestly.
I don't remember when those were created in the game's storyline (wait, I forgot the date of the Statue of Liberty attack? What kind of gamer am I?) and I do hope Versalife shows up more, it was barely a bit player in the original one, but deep conversations with strange characters about philosophical topics is the Deus Ex thing. If they don't have this they may have a brilliant cyberpunk game that I'll actually end up playing anyway, but it's not Deus Ex.MarsProbe said:Nothing wrong with bringing new people into the game, but if they want to feel like it's actually taking place in the same universe as the other two games we need (at the very least) Versalife, UNATCO and at least one deep conversation with an AI construct on the nature of society...

The game was live demo'ed at E3 for pretty much every major game publication and supposedly one site did have a full 20 minute video of the demo up (that, from what I hear, is no longer up). It's unfortunate they haven't decided to make gameplay videos available to the public yet, but they are actually showing real gameplay to some people.Doug said:Thirdly, no sign of gameplay videos yet, which stinks of 'we made a mindless shooter with RPG elements and you will buy it for we will not inform you beforehand'.
Not quite that bad, but its not a worthy sequel regardless; if they'd released it as a seperate game series all together without its older brother making it look bad, it might have been seen as a good game in its own right.Dom Kebbell said:It is what Batman and Robin is to the Dark Knightalmostnot said:Can I ask a controversial question?

Thats my problem - they aren't letting it be seen by the public; and the gaming press seem somewhat useless these days. I want to see the gameplay for myself to draw my own conclusions.StriderShinryu said:The game was live demo'ed at E3 for pretty much every major game publication and supposedly one site did have a full 20 minute video of the demo up (that, from what I hear, is no longer up).
