Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Official soundtrack from the DX trailer was just released.

And as it is shown, Michael McCann will do all the soundtrack of the game.

seems like im going to have to change my playing style drastically since the first Deus Ex.

i really do wonder if it'll live up to the original.

First gameplay trailer:

Now that is what Deus Ex is all about: cyber punk espionage.

That is my kind of shit.

Not to mention all the new sexy moves used for combat.

I remember how in the old games like Deus Ex you'd have melee combat with blunt objects, hitting the enemy until they died or got knocked out. Contemporary melee in games like that have now become the kind of CQC you'd see in metal gear solid 3. There are still blunt objects, but there's a larger focus on martial arts.

I'm just seeing the evolution of games as they happen.

For some reason, the gameplay looks alot like MGS4

Gameplay looks exactly like I was expecting it to...and that's a good thing.

Sexy cyber espionage, information gathering, infiltration and combat raging from stealth take-downs to blow'em-all-up firefights.

Cybernetics usage looks pretty good too.


Dammn, first this, than new Ace Combat and even Shogun: Total War 2.
God has answered out prayers. Or whatever you believe in.

Back on track, this is looks pretty much like I remembered Deus Ex series. If they keep plot up to the par, than this might be just as awesome as it sounds.

I think you're being a little too quick to judge this game solely on its mechanics. Regenerative health does not automatically mean a dumbed down console shooter. I don't know about you, but when I played the first Deus Ex, I was extremely frustrated by how unbelievably difficult it was to engage enemies in a straight up fight (unless you had the GEP gun, damn OP gun). Regenerative health makes the option of going in guns blazing much more viable. You can still play the game using stealth if you want, you just have more options this time around. I'm interested to see if they keep the whole body part damage model from the first game. Besides, IIRC, they're going for a slow health regen model, not the 5 second insta-heal of the Modern Warfare series.

About the cover system, I do think that it would have been better if there was a "make your own cover" type of style, but I don't see how the sticky cover system that has been implemented can be a serious detractor for the game. Not all games that use a cover system play like Gears of War, you know.

Finally, you're going to complain about the stealth kills? Really? Do you not remember how unbelievably frustrating it was in Deus Ex to sneak up on someone, try to hit them in the back of the head with a baton, but miss and hit them in the neck, and essentially alerting every guard in the area to your presence? As long as the game doesn't allow you to trash 5 guards at once from stealth right from the beginning of the game, but rather through augmentations that give you the ability to perform higher level stealth kills, I'll be happy.

In any case, what made the original Deus Ex great was not the gameplay mechanics, which, to quite honest, were not very good, but the way you could play the game in any way you wanted, provided you had the right gear, and how your actions were reflected in the world around you. And please don't insult people based on their preference of gameplay. It's just not very nice.

debug post

This to me is the biggest problem here. If they're going to consistently tell you how you should be completing the objective, then it'll make invisible wars seem good in comparison. IW at least fucking let you do the mission your way.



Just think about the nano shit being made more efficient in the future. Pretty fucking obvious.

Oh wow, this thread beings me unlimited volumes of joy.

It looks more advanced, because the graphics/CG/etc. nowadays are much more advanced than they were during period when they created the first Deus Ex. So they added all that extra polish and graphical 'omph' they couldn't do in the first game.

The cybernetic prosthesis probably look different because today the artists have much more subtler approach to this kind of stuff...and similarly, 10 years ago, the actual prosthesis were somewhat limited and unwieldy, so you could assume that while their efficiency would improve, they'd still look awful. However, today's prothesis more and more resemble the organs on which they're based on. I suppose artists went along with it and devised ones that look just like arm,legs etc. only being made out of metals and having wires running here and there.

On the subject of game's world, it doesn't look more advanced than it did in the Deus Ex, if you look past the graphics:

Most computers in-game have LCD-esque display as opposed to widespread usage of holographic panels in first game (here, holos are on some infromation boards and in office og Important Guy), security mechs are big lumbering things as opposed to streamlined fast mechs of first game. Weapons look the same, with rifles still being long as opposed to UNATCO's somewhat silly compact design.

Same goes on with characters abilities. I'm pretty sure Denton could pull of every trick the Human Revolution protag can, only that original Deus Ex lacked the resources to do it...or rather, it wouldn't look particularly great and there would be performance issues on most PC's.

And while on subject of nano-tech...It depends on which efficiency we're talking about. Nano-augs didn't necessarily made you that much stronger than cyber-agents...Anna and Gunther could easily smear you on the wall if you weren't smart enough.

However, nano-augs are superior because they more easy to adapt - you load up the proper mod and nanites do what they're supposed to. While in cybernetics you need to develop the prosthesis, surgically implant it, connect with all nerves/tissues/muscles etc. But I digress.

As for video, this is just a 3-4 minute vid that shows us some plain action. It doesn't explicitly show what choices you can make, what kind of interface you will have etc. It' more of graphical presentation and some shooting.

And game isn't coming out until at least February 2011. I will withhold my opinions after some more information will be released. I mean it's still almost six months away. I see no reason why everyone should be up-in arms so early.

Okay, that explains it, since I haven't seen it yet.



Paraphrasing "They do it now, because they can".

Not that it isn't a valid point. If you made something, you should stick with it. But it's not like it's impossible to fit it with previous conceptions. Maybe it all gets blowned up? Maybe it doesn't. This was done again and again in pretty much every a lot of varied franchise (not just PC games) and people lived with it. Some don't notice it. And there's also the dilemma if people will really want to see all those silly cleaner bots, the blocky, bright alarm buttons and 90's style concrete urban housing. I'm pretty sure that even if they went along with exactly same stylistic, somebody would whine. Because it wasn't exact enough for change.

On entirely related note, Original Hong-Kong was ugly. Don't want to see it again.




Hey, I like my sunglasses. Besides, so many people wear those things nowadays that you stand out more if you don't wear them. Just sayin'.



>Implying that most computer games were ever consistent with each sequel and prequel.




Because they're experimental? They might've been lying in magazines until some technician got the bright idea to make a skull gun with it. Kind of a devil's advocate argument, but it works.

The most technologically advanced weapons in Deus Ex were the Dragon's Tooth and plasma rifle. The first one is a nanotech-blade. Second fires fucking plasma. That's pretty futuristic, isn't it?

Unless they have laser crystl-firing railguns, I don't call the futuristic. Unless they do have it. Then you're right.

Also, Square Enix. That explains the hand-barrel guy.





And finally, you, I and pretty much everyone can't expect that it will be super-great and fill all our dreams just because it's god-dammned Deus Ex. Because world never works that way. Somethings you like. Some suck. No need to make that much rucks around it.

This sounds so bad...which is exactly why it's so good.

Miami has nothing on this shit

Because my sunglasses

*puts them on*

Aren't really sunglasses

EDIT:
Better to have some glasses than "magical eyeball".

Body dragging? Doesn't seem bad. Especially considering that in orginal Deus Ex body dragging was equivalent of carrying a paper box and throwing it like basketball ball.

Cool stories, faggots.

Jeff, if you find another "ball braking" fault with it, don't hesitate to let us know.
