these fonts are fucking terrible

No Comic Sans? Pre-order canceled.

 

[Kinyou]

Judgding by the Gameinformer trailer, it looks like Mary DeMarle, lead writer for Human Revolution, is back for the sequel.

It seems like they brought pretty much the whole original team together which is just awesome.

 

[BronsonLee]

There's a reason, as I said, it's SE. Hence, I hope it'll be like that.

This is dumb. Human Revolution nailed it. Pessimism is silly.

If we again can't create our own characters, then again I'm not interested.

Jensen or beat it

 

[FunkyPajamas]

god dammit

I suck at puns.

 

[RadioHammer500]

wonder if this guy will return

Darrow the genius behind human augmentation yet cries that he doesn't want anyone to use it because he can't be augmented

but breh you created it

 

[erpg]

I hadn't realized how much I wanted this.

Have to admit, I do wish it looked better though.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Welp. I guess it's finally time to go finish the copy of HR I have sitting on my shelf.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Ty Snaku, this is what I was hoping the first post would be, brother.

 

[Wesker28]

Wait.. Malik is gone? Dammit!
Still hyped though

 

[QuantumZebra]

Just saw the trailer / GI cover


so goddamn hyped

Deus Ex 1 = GOAT
HR = GotG next to Demon's Souls & TLoU


ugh

 

[Albo]

Wow, next gen DE can't wait. HR was cyberpunk bliss and one of my fave games last gen that caught me by surprise. I'm glad jensons returning also, such a great character.

 

[ricki42]

Not a fan of the main character, very definition of trying too hard. It's like they never got the memo the 90's ended,

Wait, what? The 90s ended?! Was a good time for Cyberpunk.

Voice actor was very weak as well, his voice is so husky and had no edge or charisma. They just get it wrong all over the place.

I guess charisma is in the ear of the beholder.

so many derrick gifs incoming

"MAN I LOVE HITMAN ABSOLUTION"

"WHAT'S THAT SOUND?"

"oh shiiiiiiiiii-"

I hope he's unbanned

lol. I agree, gaf needs more Jensen avatars.

it's haram

 

[RandomExpletive]

Wait..

Spoiler

Malik is gone?

Dammit!
Still hyped though

I'll be quite sad if this is the cannon timeline

 

[etta]

Not even close.

This doesn't look that much more advanced than The Order 1866. I think it's a reasonable assumption to say this would be possible in five years.

 

[Feep]

Wait, was there video? I missed it? = (

 

[keltickennedy]

Not a fan of the main character, very definition of trying too hard. It's like they never got the memo the 90's ended, and the Matrix-esque black trenchcoat gettup is a major fashion faux pas in 2015, but maybe they'd argue it comes back in style by 2030...

Wears shades all the time, smokes, wears all black. God it's so bad.

Voice actor was very weak as well, his voice is so husky and had no edge or charisma. They just get it wrong all over the place.

Trends in fashion constantly loop. What's old is new. Who's to say in the future that black coats and sunglasses come back as "a thing".

Hell, I heard jncos are coming back. lol.

 

[Toxi]

It's a shooter? :/

A Deus Ex game being a shooter? Shocking.

 

[WinFonda]

That's kind of sad. Keep on judging other people on these things if it makes you happy, I guess.

It's not personal. It's not like a major character judgment, it's just similar to the reaction I'd have if you thought dyeing your hair green and wearing a purple suit was a good idea.

 

[MrPing1000]

Heres hoping it's good, last one was meh.

 

[injurai]

I never asked for this.

Here you go.

 

[SDCowboy]

Is this 1st or 3rd person?

 

[shikamaroooo]

Yes! Loved HR.

 

[Modest Mauser]

Was hoping for a new protagonist but seems cool otherwise. If it's as good as HR I won't be disappointed.

 

[HariKari]

Is this 1st or 3rd person?

both

 

[Kill3r7]

Fantastic news.

 

[BLUElightCory]

So excited. Human Revolution was one of my favorite games of last-gen.

 

[Salsa]

I wonder if you can still punch the shit out of a random woman now that we've lived through this whole you-know-thingie

 

[Fiery Phoenix]

Judgding by the Gameinformer trailer, it looks like Mary DeMarle, lead writer for Human Revolution, is back for the sequel.

Yup, she is! Very glad to see her again.

 

[Vire]

Is the team the did Human Revolution at Eidos Montreal the same team that did Thief? Cause if so... uhh maybe HR was a fluke.

 

[RadioHammer500]

it's haram

wait what?

 

[m360]

Looks nice, sound pretty. But enough to get me hyped.

 

[Muskieratboi]

Jensen's voice actor is perfect. That dude actually talkes like that in real life. Imagine ordering a pizza with that voice. Chicks must be sliding off their chairs.

Not just the Chicks.

 

[CarbonFire]

Is this 1st or 3rd person?

Likely 1st with 3rd person cover, like the last game.

 

[injurai]

What is deus ex? Like is it shooter or what? I always wanted to get the one for Wii U heard it was good... but what genre does it fall under?

it's a first person classic rpg, with combat driven by first person shooting, stealth, melee

a lot of the game is navigating environments in different manners. You might chat up denizens of a bar or infiltrate a warehouse

 

[LeleSocho]

While i already knew from the concept arts i really hoped for a sequel of the original DE that took out IW out of the continuity.

 

[MasterOfPastures]

I had fun with HR, but the sheen wore off quick after. Especially after that ending.
It was not a proper Deus Ex game.
And this one will probably not be as well.
Still, it is an interesting world they crafted, and I enjoy the series. Day 0, Collectors.

 

[Lakitu]

Is the team the did Human Revolution at Eidos Montreal the same team that did Thief? Cause if so... uhh maybe HR was a fluke.

I think it's a different team but I'm sure plenty of staff members who worked on HR worked on Thief like most studios.

 

[Laurentius]

mtJus

 

[Kinthalis]

Human Revolution was good, but it wasn't no Deus Ex 1.

Let's hope they make this one the definitive one.

 

[injurai]

wait what?

Darrow is just genetically incompatible with augmentation

 

[Kinyou]

Was hoping for a new protagonist but seems cool otherwise. If it's as good as HR I won't be disappointed.

A new protagonist would have been interesting, but I hope this means that Jensen's past and relationships are going to factor into the story.

 

[MartyStu]

I needed to change my pants.

Twic...oh god...thrice.

 

[aro52]

As long as they don't outsource the boss fights to that strange non-gaming company again, I am so in!

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

i asked for this

 

[GavinUK86]

Is the team the did Human Revolution at Eidos Montreal the same team that did Thief? Cause if so... uhh maybe HR was a fluke.

Different team.

As long as they don't outsource the boss fights to that strange non-gaming company again, I am so in!

Yeah, that was an odd choice.

 

[Nakazato]

Can't wait

 

[keltickennedy]

What is deus ex? Like is it shooter or what? I always wanted to get the one for Wii U heard it was good... but what genre does it fall under?

Action adventure game with RPG elements, skill trees/conversation options all in a Cyberpunk setting that tailors to different play styles.

 

[mnannola]

This is for sure my most anticipated game. I hope they do a huge info dump at E3, and this game comes out ASAP. I hope they mostly stick to how they handled HR, except for the following:

1. Remove, or severely change how boss fights work.
2. More difficult decisions required by the player. Think Malik or the ending of HR. I know branching story lines are a nightmare to program for, but I love having to make a choice that will alter how the game progresses.
3. More options for stealth characters. I felt like the only two weapons I could use was the tranq gun and stun gun. More lethal weapons and devices for stealth characters would be awesome.

Basically I am there day 1 unless they royally fuck this up.
