Deus Ex just had a game come out, so a sequel would be premature. So an iOS game makes sense. I love the platform, personally.
But this just doesn't look very good. The controls clearly need a lot of work, which is always a thing with TPS games on iOS. Even the best controls on the platform (Nova) are still really awkward to use.
That being said, if they show off a lot more of how the game controls, I may give it a shot. I'd prefer they not water down the brand by shoving so many side projects down the road, but it's inevitable that every major game from the major companies will get some side component on mobile devices. At least this isn't that lame ME: Infiltrator or the absolutely terrible Injustice game.

This has probably been mentioned, but I feel like this is one of the cases where a Vita port would make perfect sense.
Mobile platform.
Same tech level as iOS devices.
Can still retain all touch screen functionality + Buttons!
I'm guessing sales is the reason? Still disappointing though

I do kinda wish they didn't try to mimic the console/pc version. Feels like one of those shitty psp/vita spinoff titles where they try to mimick the console game but can't get all the way because of, C team devs, system limitations etc.
An isometric deus ex could be different and quite cool.

You'll be buying very few SE titles this generation.

That's fine, but your point of discontent is that people don't want a simplified game on a platform they don't even own. Well, if the game exists on a platform they don't even own and it's not a game they want to play, why does it matter to you? You don't own an iOS device, so why do you care if it has a certain game or not? That just doesn't make any sort of sense.

The money available in the mobile and tablet gaming market is going to kill the gaming industry. Everyone's gonna rush to jump into making games there, and the market is gonna get completely crowded, and just crash precipitously.
This looks fine, but I really don't want to play games like this on a tablet, ever, and I imagine most others would agree.

I think "most others" are buying games on tablets and phones, which is why the market is expanding.
It's easy to be afraid of things you aren't used to, but all movies being available on the same platform hasn't ruined movies.
Looks great. Seriously, iOS gaming is in a great place right now. The last month has been fantastic. Instead of complaining, shouldn't people be happy that we have a platform where gaming is thriving and has a bright future.
It is in its infacy, so control systems have a bit to go, but the potential is pretty massive.

Well, I know I never asked for this. It's really disappointing.

I remember a few years back when I thought, "Man, I really wish my cellphone could like, connect to the internet and do all sorts of crazy palm pilot type stuff. That'd be convenient." Little did I know that having that wish granted would ruin everything.
I did. Come at me, bro.

yeah probably not...

I'm wondering the same thing. Who keeps asking for these games?

Lmao, GAF called it, and it looked like a joke.
But damn.
But damn.
The Vita is built on smartphone hardware, has a 960x540 touchscreen (along with a full compliment of traditional inputs) and appears to be extremely friendly towards developers of all shapes and sizes. It ought to be a given that any and every 'high profile' iOS game also makes it to Vita, day & date.This has probably been mentioned, but I feel like this is one of the cases where a Vita port would make perfect sense.

Doesn't happen though. It's the largest enigma in modern day gaming, for me.

For sure. I'm worried about this being a shitty game that waters the brand down to generic territory. It's a bit early to be too concerned there, but those controls...when the guys showing off the game have issues controlling it, then that doesn't bode well for us mortals.
We'll see. Hopefully it's a great game.

I'd be less annoyed at this if it didn't expand the DX universe, which I actually care about... but they're still wasting resources at Eidos Montreal.
this is surreal
just surreal
not that an iOS game bothers me, but rather they'd (to be fair, unwillingly) trick almost anyone into getting hyped for what looked like a new iteration of Human Revolution in consoles/PC
I mean I dont know how they could have hyped it up otherwise, but the reaction of those who were excited about the next big iteration can't be good for them

Squenix is clueless *smh*
So what you are saying is that MGS is next?

I guess I'm lost here. I know it's a bad analogy to compare video games to music or movies or something like that, but isn't it a good thing when something you like becomes available more easily and to more people? Any CD I buy will play in any player, so isn't it cool when things move in that direction?
