I hope it's that action packed just because they wanted the trailer to look "cool" rather than this being the style of gameplay.

That villain has an awfully generic eastern European voice. And look.

It most definitely is, the last game was the same. Square Enix's CG studio produced the trailer and the actual game bore almost no resemblance to it.

The villain looks generic as strawberry float but I'm damn excited for a new Deus Ex game.

My hype is augmented.

What a shame.

Can't bloody wait.

Human Revolution was one of my favourite games of recent years and I have been dreaming about this ever since. I knew it was in development but it's nice to get a title and some details.

Also, the endings in the first game were last second bullshit so I'm actually glad they decided to retcon that part and do something better.

I thought all three endings in the first Deus Ex game were excellent, and had cool cutscenes to go with it. Of course as Karl would agree, merging with Helios is the best ending.

I meant that first prequel game, or the one that this one follows on from.

Agreed. The problem with Human Revolution's endings for me wasn't really the button presses - though they didn't help! - it was the fact that they all felt really similar. In Deus Ex, the ending you chose fundamentally changed the system of governance of the entire planet: you could send us back to the stone age, forward to a sci-fi utopia, or take command of a cyberpunk dystopia. That's pretty cool! In Human Revolution you got to slightly edit a TV news broadcast. It just felt lame by comparison.

Don't get me wrong, though! I liked Human Revolution for what it was and it certainly wasn't Invisible War levels of stink. It had some cool cyberpunk ideas: the Eliza Cassan thing in particular was neat, and I also liked the idea behind Hyron even if the zombies were a chore. It also had some complex bits although the quest branches were a bit Mass Effect morality-wheel compared with the original - saying that, I don't think anything else would fly nowadays so I don't begrudge the game it. Saving Malik was genius and a nice nod to the original.

The main thing they need to avoid going forward is over-simplification. Invisible War was trash because it had an obvious plot, simple gameplay and thoughtless level design. If they keep on at least trying for high-brow then that's OK with me.

I think that the original Deus Ex is a game that actually deserves a remake so that console gamers can experience its glory. I played it past Hell's Kitchen for the first time ever over Christmas 2013 and I was amazed at how much better it was than most games that come out these days.

It's kind of a flawed game in a lot of ways though, kind of visionary but obviously rough around the edges. Hell, even when it was released it looked kind of dated graphically. A next gen remake would be awesome. They could even redo the clunky voice acting.

I hope the new one has the same guy doing the music, HR had a great soundtrack.

I was just about to make the same comment but saw that his name appears in the credits at the end of the trailer. :mrgreen:

Glad this has finally been announced, I loved HR.

Perfect sneaking music. :wub:

Good trailer. Not quite on the same level as HRs, but still good.

:wub:

Trailer lacked a fair bit of flair that Human Revolution had, a little too much blood lust present that makes me a little afraid someone's done some market research and found out that action sells and that folks loved the combat of HR and just wanted moaaar.

...but then everyone had similar concerns before HR came out and most were proved wrong. Most.

What combat? I think I stealthed my way though most of HR and barley fought anyone save for the bosses. Much more fun that way.

Well, there still was combat, whether you used it or not, it existed.
