Is Warren Spector behind this one?
Nah he's at Disney now so he can't discuss projects at other companies.Wollan said:Deus Ex3me

Yeah, I hope info on Deus Ex 3 hits before October, now I know ifno exists, it makes the wait really bad.Router said:Long and painful wait is long and painful.
The post-mortem article was pretty damning, IMO.Acosta said:A bit harsh don't you think? His last released project was Deus Ex 2 and he has not being able to release anything more. One failed project doesn't ruin a brilliant career.
I gave it a try ago some time after it bombed and it was every bit as bad as people said (and then some) Invisible War is a mediocre game on its own and a disgrace to the Deus Ex name.I never did play Deus Ex 2 though... will GAF please let me know if it would be worth my time to give it a play through?

It is a decent game, you'll probably think more highly of it if you call it something other than Deus Ex, as it won't live up to that name. Still, it is an FPS-"RPG" in the same vein (multiple paths etc.), and you won't be disappointed if you're going in looking for just that.poweld said:I never did play Deus Ex 2 though... will GAF please let me know if it would be worth my time to give it a play through?

Me, neither. But that's because I played System Shock 2 when I was, apparently, near the end.Dolphin said:I never finished Deus Ex.

szaromir said:I played through Deus Ex last week, a great game indeed. Although I hope this one has better AI...
Kifimbo said:The game is developed by Eidos Montreal. A totally new studio, which can be either exciting or worrying for Deus Ex 3.

Lakitu said:I have a feeling that Deus Ex 3 will either be a bad game or a good game.
Draft said:Well that's a shame, because Deus Ex has a much more satisfying end game than SS2. Which of course makes sense, it being the better game.
I'm not going to get excited about this. Who's making it, Ubi? Hmmf. IP alone does not a great game make.

Haha that's true. Deus Ex had trouble running on my PC built in 2000, that machine could handle Sacrifice and Giants without any troubles whatsoever.StuKen said:It really wouldn't be Deus Ex unless it takes an existing version of UE then makes it run as poorly as possible.
Not really sure what you mean, but in general enemies tend to forget about your presence as soon as you're out of sight etc. The game seemed to be sorta built with this bad AI in mind, but I wish the new Deus Ex would have more demanding enemies.I've not got very far yet, the bad guys on the second level seem to run around in circles and not much else, is that normal?

The first details on Eidos Montreal's Deus Ex 3 have been revealed, in the pages of PC Zone's landmark 200th issue.
It's out in the shops on Thursday, but PC Zone subscribers are reporting that copies of PCZ number 200 have hit doormats this morning. The cover game? Deus Ex 3 - the long-awaited return of the world's favourite nano-augmented RPG-shooter.
In essence, it looks and sounds fantastic. The art direction is a beautiful meld of the renaissance and cyberpunk (tying into the game's Leonardo Da Vinci motif) and is going for a lot more stylised look than the sort of game that comes from the Unreal Engine cookie-cutter.
It sounds like Eidos Montreal isn't leaving anything to chance; a "powerful, layered" plot is promised for the third game - which has been confirmed as a prequel set in 2027- and the dev has even drafted in the consultative talents of original writer Sheldon Pacotti, while also gaining the blessing of both Harvey Smith and Warren Spector on the project.
You're cast as average joe Adam Jensen, who works as a private security officer at a technology lab specialising in biomechanical augmentations, a forerunner to the sort of nanotechnology shown in the original Deus Ex. One day the path of his life is unexpectedly altered as a team of black ops commandos break into his company's HQ, and using a security plan from Jensen's own hand, a mass slaughter ensues and the conspiracy begins.
"Deus Ex 3's vision of the future sees holographic screens flicker atop ferries moving back and forth in front of the Shanghai skyline, now split into two layers with the rich on the top and the poor in perpetual twilight below," says PCZ.
Eidos Montreal says it's more than aware of fan reaction to controversial second game, Invisible War, and promises mistakes, such as limiting ammo types to just one, won't be repeated.
This said, they are doing their utmost to please newcomers as well as existing fans. Perhaps controversially this time around combat won't be influenced by stats, but will rely purely on your personal marksmanship skills. Instead stats will influence "a vast array of fully upgradeable and customisable weapons", and you'll be able to tailor your arsenal to your play style with mag upgrades, scopes and other add-ons.
What's more, stealth will now rely on a cover system rather than shadows, and damage will be dealt with by a very Call of Duty-style auto-heal. There's probably going to be some debate over those two.
Augmentations have been bumped up and sound fantastic. 20 have been promised for the final game, ranging from 'bungee jump' tentacles that shoot from your back and anchor to a wall when you jump off a building, and the ability to punch through walls to grab enemies in neighbouring rooms.
Deus Ex 3 certainly sounds very, very promising - if a little controversial for die-hard PC fans. And just wait until you see the shots...
For more info and the first screenshots see the full ten-page preview in the 200th issue of PC Zone, out October 9 (and in subscribers' hands now). Happy 200th issue, by the way.
Uh, that's the thing. JC Denton never had the autoheal-augmentation without using up electro charge or whatever you call it. fitting auto-heal into canon will be harder than "LOL It'S JSUT A NANO AUGMENTATION U GAIS"Deacan said:Auto Heal is not that bad, as Deus Ex had a regeneration Augmentation that made med packs obsolete.
I think Heath bars are going to way of the dodo these days anyway.
