He's have two takedown types: lethal (he'd snark you to death) or non-lethal (he'd hack your stuff and make you get permanently on hold with tech support.)
Thats how i feel. It seems forced.
On bright side we get to have more Deus Ex! Trailer tells much about story and has highnproduction values.
But to me HR trailer goes down as one if not the best trailer of all times.....this p did not reach thouse hights.

I hope the make the hubs more spacey. The streets and stuff always looked almost mini sized and didn't really make for a convincing scale.

It's been in the works for three years and it's a sequel, so it's not exactly made from scratch.
It'd actually be weird if this wasn't out in November. I could see them holding it to optimize sales, but it should be ready to ship by Thanksgiving. Summer 2016? I'd eat my hat.
Oh HELL yes. I still listen to the HR soundtrack at least once a week.

I don't know, I kinda think the game might make it out before the year's over. Announced a few months before E3 to start building hype, it could have a big showing at E3 then. Plus they've been working on it for quite some time. Perhaps it will be similar to what Ubisoft did with the release schedule of Far Cry 4. Can you imagine if Deux Ex and Fallout came in 2015? A man can dream...

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Q2 2016 is my guess.
I hope you got a fork and knife and appetiser of you're choosing
Don't get me wrong, I'd love for it to release this year but going up against the big guns doesn't seem like a wise idea.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
So what's different from HR then???
Hanzers are still hanzers, people are prejudiced, except now the hanzers are going berzerk on humanity instead of there being a Darrow figure plotting to bring Transhumans down...
What difference did Jensen's action make at the end of HR?

I give them all the time they need. My guess is the same however.
None, because you were one small cog trying to turn a huge machine around. Everything you did outside of small personal victories like freeing the scientists was futile.
And it's great.

ffs, the camera is the same one in hr. melee is still 3rd person, this sucks, it completely breaks immersion and feels like a qte. i would like a option to play it as tps or fps, juggling between the two is horrible

Exactly. Everything Jensen did that wasn't on a personal level (namely the main plot) was all according to the Illuminati's plans. He was an unwitting accomplice to their schemes and unwittingly saved them from hugh darrow's designs when he went rogue.
This sequel will probably deal with the fall of the Illuminati and how he unwittingly factors into it.

do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
Hahaha this makes me laugh much more than it should have.
A new Deus Ex is great and all, but wow was that trailer unsubtle in portraying Jensen as the one true savior of the Deus Ex universe.
Seriously, who hangs lights around that just so happen to resemble angel wings?
AC130 is the angel of death.
C130 is the angel of salvation.

Okay. Thanks for shedding some light.
You can really tell the guys at Eidos Montreal are huge MGS fans. The whole controlling information bit, and being an unwitting pawn in a grand scheme is pretty reminiscent of Sons of Liberty.
In fact, the illuminati's involvement in HR's ending going over my head is pretty much how MGS2's ending went over my head.
Looking forward to whatever Easter Eggs they have this time around. Foxiest of the Hounds was a blast to get.

He burst through the roof,that´s why the lights are in that position.
It's mostly continuing from the originals themes. JC was being strung along for the Illuminatis, well, MJ12s, goals for the first act before he breaks free. Adam just has less agency since he's working for Sarif the whole game while JC gets to break the whole conspiracy.
The information control aspect was also there as Bob Page got to rewrite the whole internet to go through his systems.

Human Revolution inherited the theme of large-scale manipulation from the original Deus Ex (which came out in 2000). MGS doesn't really enter into it.
That visual insinuation was definitely a deliberate reference to the Icarus theme.
Thanks for the link.
So, x-men meets cyberpunk and conspiracy stuff? Sounds good to me

HR does a good job of setting that up... especially in Hengsha, a lot of the augs have some good conversation about that. Detroit is a little more about class politics, poor vs rich, but in Hengsha you hear a bit more about the vets... people getting augs to save their lives, etc. no cosmetic or luxury augs like from Sarif Industries but hack job legs and arms cuz they got no other choice. the whole harvesters thing there was a pretty good side story.
speaking of Sarif Industries, one of the previews basically said it didn't survive the Darrow/LIMB clinic incident but I wonder if they'll elaborate on that? did it get shut down by the government, just go bankrupt? how about Tai Yong with its CEO gone? I get the feeling DXMD is a little more political, social about augs, but I hope we still get a lot of story about the big corporations, to...
I was always a Shadowrun chummer before the first DX so while the class and political stuff is great too, I really appreciate a good raid on a mega-corp HQ or corp vs corp espionage... my favorite DX areas have always been Versalife and now Tai Yong Medical

So all of the hype made me play through missing link finally.
Forgot home much I loved this game and it's universe. So good.
Missing Link was a lot better and more involved than I expected. Haven't finished HR since launch though, so some details and stuff referee to in emails was hazy.
Game ran beautifully in 4K aside from HUD scaling. Still looks serviceable when it's all cleaned up. Although Jensons hair is some of the worst ever from behind. Glad to see they remedied this with MD.
Actually interested to hear more about the tech the game is using.
Looks like PBR from the screens, which is great because that's a must with a title like this. Surprised the GI article said nothing about graphics/tech at all...

Can anyone confirm that the Russian guy is not, in fact, voiced by Gerard Butler? My roommate won't give it up that it is.

Alright I want to try out this franchise.
Can I start with HR or should I play the original? If so is the PS2 version good enough?

You can start with HR no problem. The first is a great game though, but I don't know about the PS2 version...

What are the odds of it coming out this fall? I know, it'll probably be Q1/Q2 2016 but still lol.

Yeah, you can start with HR, but you could probably play the original Deus Ex on any PC on max settings with little problem.

The original or HR?
Try wine. I use Linux and run the GOG version under wine, and the only thing that somehow doesn't work for me is fullscreen. I find getting the game on GOG is usually easier, since you don't have to run the whole steam client using wine, but according to the WineHQ AppDB the steam version should work.
