E3 2010: Deus Ex: Human Revolution
- Thread starter Team Hollywood
- Start date
Sure, but I would rather keep my expectation at DE:IW levels until I have played it.Woodsey said:
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.
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. Sneaking is fuuuuuuun! >;DDom Kebbell said:
Oh my! Greg Tito, I didn't know you looked so much like a nice young man. If they only knew.
The French accent is so awesome, just listen to it, the way he says the word 'development' makes it sound like something you do in a red velvet couch.
OT: Nothing he said really skewed me either way regarding the game, which I'm cautiously optimistic about. I usually don't pay much attention to the ramblings of the poor employees who have to retell the same things to scores of journalists over the fair days. But he said there would be punching of walls, and there'd better be plenty of punching of walls. Punching of walls and generally acting like a robot is the one thing I thought the original Deus Ex needed more of.

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:
Three major points of concern for me: firstly, Square Enix is beginning to get its grubby hands on the project, which is not a good thing at all. Secondly, he used the word 'reboot' in there somewhere, which signals to me that they are going to mine Deus Ex 1's nostiliga for all its worth. 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'.
That said, I am an embittered DE 1 fan, and its wholly possible that DE 3 will be great - I just think we shouldn't get out hopes up yet. That said, he did say alot of the right things, but again, so did the DE2 things before release, and whilst DE2 wasn't a failure pre-say, it wasn't a worthy sequel.

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:
Hey, everyone, let's pre-judge the game before we've seen it! Yeah! I bet it'll be shit, because I have disgustingly high expectations, and my rose-coloured goggles are permanently attached! The slightest fault will make the game irrevocably bad, even if it's otherwise pretty damned good! Remember, pre-judging Assassin's Creed II worked out pretty well, too!
This game looks good judging from the trailer but as Yahtzee points out, that does not mean the actual gaame will be the greatest thing since sliced breead. I am waiting till the reviews before I fork over my cash for a copy.
