Excellent. Looks like classic Deus Ex gameplay with extra cool gadgets. Now naysayers calm down.
They just took the security system right out of the first Deus Ex! Didn't anybody else notice that? Taking out green-lighted cameras with EMP grenades, turning bots on enemies by hacking security computers, it's 100% old school. They are even lifting heavy boxes by using augmented strength!
Somehow that doesn't seem like a bad thing at all, considering that Deus Ex turned out so well.

Looks like it's mixing first and third person views... I was just thinking about this.
First person view is pretty much the best view for shooting. You never have to worry about bad camera angles, because *you* are the camera.
But it's not really the best choice for jump puzzles, stealth, vehicles, or melee combat. Sure, it can work, but third person generally works so much better (unless the in-game camera is really, really awful). If a game features a lot of these sorts of elements, it's generally a stronger game by going the third person route.
If the new Deus Ex game can pull off the trick Jedi Knight used so many years ago (first person shooting, third-person saber) but with much deeper game-play, this could seriously be a great game. Cautiously optimistic about this one, but it looks like the first proper sequel to Deus Ex.

You know he actually sounds exactly the same as Timothy Olyphant in the Hitman movie. I dunno if he was doing a Clint Eastwood impersonation but they sound exactly the same (I even thought it was him).manythings said:
If you go to gametrailers.com, go to the game's page and look at interviews there's one with an artist who talks a little about the PC version.s0m3th1ng said:
Am I going fucking mental here?, everyones going on about how this Deus Ex looks amazing, but I'm getting Lord of the Rings?Andy Chalk said:
Whats going on?, is the entire population of this news article including Andy Chalk trolling me or something?
Being a PC-to-console convert, I miss the hot-keys, but I don't miss having to figure out how to map a dozen or more essential hot-keys (the Crytech guys always gave me fits). The original Deus Ex wasn't a balls-to-the-wall shooter, so I think the pacing will be perfectly fine for console radial wheels... even if they don't pause the action during item selection.s0m3th1ng said:
We do perfectly fine actually, don't do that whole PC has a better interface crap, we don't care, and its not so bad on consoles that the games are unplayable or unbearable.s0m3th1ng said:
your argument is like someone who carries his wallet in his hand at all times and wonders why us trouser wearing people have to delve into our pockets to get our wallets, trousers are a an unintuitive interface for having to buy shit I'm sure but I'm willing to put up such arbitrary nonsense like having to stop and pull my wallet out of a pocket in order to buy stuff because I like pockets.
There you go Mr PC user, consoles = pockets on trousers (or pants, if your a Northern American).
PC's = wallets in your hand and you can buy stuff quicker than us!
