Dugas: Did you even play the first Deus Ex? Christ, a more boring snoozefest I have never played. Thank fuck we'e cutting out all that conspiracy crap and making the bad guys aliens, right?

Designer 1: Aliens, sir?

Never played Deus Ex I guess? It was all about aliens...

This post: More on topic.


Wow! A sequal. I think that would be a good direction for the gaming industry to go. More sequals on proven success.

[thumbs up:]
Now that is a business model I can live with.

While I'm all for exercising prudence and caution in the face of uncertain sequels, you guys sound like you've made up your minds awfully early into the game.

I dunno, it'll probably be a good game, I just don't see why they're bothering to keep the IP when they dislike what made it great.

I liked the original Deus Ex very much...
I hope this one can live up to it

A friend of mine made an interesting point. Deus Ex 3, like Invisible War, won't live up to the original game, because it can't. It's impossible. Not because we've mythologized the game, but because Deus Ex was lightning in a bottle. The voice acting ranged from flat to god-awful, the FPS action was poor and the visuals were dated even when the thing was new. And in spite of all that, it was genius. It was a flash of utter brilliance, catalyzed by blind luck and random chance. It ain't gonna happen again, not like that.

But a straight remake...It could work?

Every now and then I think "damn, I want more Deus Ex, I really loved that game."

Do you know what I do? I play Deus Ex.

I don't think that another Deus Ex game at this point would add any more to the series, I don't even think that second one should have been made.

Actually...not really, although it would have been nice if they'd expanded on their 'alien' cloning efforts. Those greys were damn creepy heh.

"Going with a branching storyline would be very complicated and expensive and the game would ship ten years from now," he said.

Nonsense. The Nameless Mod did it in seven.

The voice acting ranged from flat to god-awful.

But can you legitimately criticise nano-augmented cyborgs & drug addicts for having inexpressive voices?

Unless he was talking about the Wan Chai market and thereabouts when he meant "god-awful". Because I think you can legitimately criticize the acting there.

(Sorry for the necrobump, folks. Had two DX3 threads open at once and got screwed up as to which was the old one.)
