Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (PC/PS4/XB1) [Update: Big images in OP]
- Thread starter maniac-kun
- Start date
Yeah, I would rather a sequel as well.
With that said, inevitability presents very fertile ground for some unique stories. Especially character-driven ones.
You should play it man. It fixes all the mistakes of the boss fights, you can go non-lethal if you want to and get the boss without him even seeing you.
This, Fallout 4, Mass Effect and Battlefront. I'm going to have to get some spare underoos.
I remember missing out because of how expensive it was when I wanted to buy the DLC. Sounds good though, I'm going to check it out. If they can apply that sort of design to this, I'll be very happy.

I like them, it has some good improvements. Though not sure if it's worth the 60 bucks.
Dammit. Should've chosen Hugh Darrow ending, but with the original Deus Ex intro where it's clearly stated people with mechanical augmentations are seen as pariahs, I can understand this.

There is a lot of room for improvement with HR. There is also zero chance that the improvements they make, are the same improvements I'm thinking of.
Oh well, I hope they at least make the shooting fun for people.

Hold me in your prosthetic arms Jensen. My soul is ready.
DE: HR was the game of the generation last gen, we'll see if it can be done again this time. Keep those VAs and that composer and it's already done. I'm ready to earn my non-lethal achievements again.
Also. great choice to go with the weapon customization system from Crysis.

Human Rev is a game I need to go back and give a second try. I wish you could play the whole thing in third person though; I just don't dig FPS as much.
I know what you mean. Though I think they will decently improve environment path options. Hacking will certainly be improved. I got kind of sick of all the vents that were used for indoor levels in HR.

They learned their lesson. I beat the boss by sneaking up behind him and knocking him out.

About the only atmospheric soundtracks I've liked are ones that are at least vaguely melodic, like the Quake soundtrack or some of the dungeons from the 3D Zelda games. Human Revolution's never was, so I can't really remember any track from it. That's what I mean by thoroughly bland, and frankly, it applies to all atmospheric tracks. Give me something I can remember, please.
This just illustrates my above point. There's no hook. Nothing to interest me in the track. It's in one ear and out the other. I can't understand the continued praise this gets when I have no compulsion to keep listening to it outside of the game.
I really hope they can revise how long persistence of consequence lasts. I hope not see people who I knocked out, stay that during the rest of the gameplay. It felt like a big immersion breaker.
It's ambient track for a reason.

The only question now...
Who's gonna get the exclusive marketing?

Why do you say it was announced so early?

I enjoyed Human Revolution, kept me playing till the end and I put a lot of hours into it.
It was quite an interesting story, although it didn't quite feel sci-fi and cyberpunk enough. I would like something a little more out there, with more interesting and wild ideas, a more hardcore cyberpunk approach. There's so much potential there and Human Revolution really just scratched the surface.

aahaahaaaaahhaha I'm very happy for this announcement, Adam Jensen is one of best characters of past generation
The whole thing about HR is that it's just the very beginning of a Cyberpunk era. Things are still building up that type of world scenario. I felt that whole point was laid on pretty thick throughout the game.

Only reason I can fathom is because the Western AAA gaming industry has a fetish of late for ambient soundtracks.
I for one hope McMann isn't back and that Alexander Brandon returns, but I know McMann will be.

Elias voice is so fitting. God damn, I love his voice.
I hope Michael Mccann is making the soundtrack. HR OST was the one of the best last gen.

You might be right. I hope so.
And people are dissing the soundtrack? That shit was iconic. So memorable. If you think about the atmosphere and vibe of the first game, you think that music, not the dated graphics.

Odd that it's set so soon after Human Revolution. And I'm not wild about the return of Jensen, to be honest. All the DX games so far have had different
protagonists. Also,
It's cheap to retcon that.
Regardless, I'm very excited about this. And I especially like that Human Revolution's director, lead artist, and lead writer are still onboard. I really hope they give us more of Page, Everett, Manderley, and other characters from the original game. The Illuminati's internal power struggles could make for a great narrative.
I asked for this.

my Jensen died at the end of Human Revolution.

Consider my mind bedazzled.
I loved quietly knocking on the door, cloaking, then choking out the final boss as he opened the door like "huh? is someone there?".

I really didn't say it was. I'm just saying that HR had a lot of issues with pacing and structuring, so I hope to see that improved.

Murdered: Soul Suspect, I think. Why do you ask?
I only see sequels/prequels. I guess that qualifies, even if the effort was poor or rather, it didn't panned out.

Good, gooooooooood!!! I was really looking forward to this reveal. Deus Ex: HR was a fantastic game. I bought it Day-1 played it for about 45 minutes then didn't touch it again for another six months. I think I just got distracted with Battlefield 3 and Gears 3 but once I did get back into it again I fell in love. The great graphics and a brilliant art style (dispite the piss filter), engaging and fun gameplay where stealth is not only viable but more often than not the better approach than the run n' gun option. What really got me hooked was the deep atmosphere and fully realized world design within a brilliant setting plus a host of interesting and well acted characters as well as an intricately crafted, intriguing and thought provoking story. Aside from the boss fights and the pre-rendered cutscenes Human Revolution was an absolutely amazing game. Played through it twice on 360 and three times on PC.

Tomorrow we will hear a new cool main theme that is as memorable as Icarus. Remember that first trailer of Human Revolution with the beautiful music.

Wow same here especially the part when
Heh. Batman avatar makes your post a little ironic, valid though the point may be.

I don't really like it being set directly after HR, with the same protagonist nonetheless...
Also the screenshots kinda put me off and I can't put my finger on it. The graphics are good but somehow don't look realistic at all, almost cartoonish while lacking a distinct style. Like a mixture of Crysis and Red Steel.
Oh well, HR was so awesome, so let's see.

HR was GOTY 2011 for me, so hyped for this sequel. And lol at this leak, russian site that did this is pretty much dead and they do everything to get attention. Shame on them for destroying Square Enix PR company, still looking twitch translation though
