Deus Ex 3: HumΔn Revolution

[Cat Rage Room]

In the Deus Ex games, augmentations are body modifications that allow the user superhuman abilities. While augmentations in the first two games were nanotech, Human Revolution is set prior to both and instead features mechanical augmentations. These will be divided into four types: Combat, Stealth, Technology and Social.

The game takes place during the year 2027, 25 years before Deus Ex. Nanotechnological augmentations have yet to be developed and biomechanical augmentations are the current state of the art. The main character, Adam Jensen, is a private security officer with a company that specializes in these augmentations. He witnesses a chilling attack on his company, and "the conspiracy begins."The visuals are a combination of cyberpunk and Renaissance aesthetics, resulting in a futuristic-looking Baroque world. Adam Jensen will be voiced by Elias Toufexis.

Five metropolises are included and Detroit, Shanghai and Montreal (where the developers' studio is based) have been confirmed. In addition, the protagonist will have his own apartment where he may store his secrets and collected information. The events in the game will lead to the formation of UNATCO from the original game.

edit: thanks, dacon.


Deus Ex ranks among one of my favorite games of all time; and one of the best games of all time. I really hope it's like the first one, and more. One of the biggest things I hope they remembered is to keep, and expand on the non action 'detective' and investigative elements of the first game. Gathering information, talking to people, sizing up your choices on how to proceed, and ultimately uncovering the conspiracy was as much as a part of Deus Ex as 'KABOOM' and 'PEW PEW PEW' was.

While not perfect from a technical standpoint, Deus Ex in principle is an example of what many games SHOULD be, and very few games have been able to match what it brought to the table.

As for the trailer, well, it's fucking beautiful, and incredible. Not just by itself, but for the possibilities it represents. If Deus Ex 3 is just as good, or even better than the first game...I'll have no words.

how do you embed youtube videos up in this bitch?

Also, I reaaaaaaaally hope this lives up to the franchise legacy. Dues Ex was as close to a good Ghost in the Shell game as we've ever gotten.

 

[Cat Rage Room]

Yeah this is one of those games that HAS to live up to its name. My heart just can't take disappointment anymore.

Also props to Square Enix for their work on the cinematics (thank god that's all they're doing, though). Gotta give props where they're due.

 

[Joe]

There are no words to describe how I feel about the trailer alone.

 

[Max Payne]

For those who want to see realtime shots

spoiler tag em if you want bro

If done correctly this game will reinstill the faith in Square Enix that I lost after FFXIII.

too bad SE ain't making it

Nice stills, Dacon. hope it's a 360 title as well derp.

True.
You have permission to call me a retard. I'll actually listen this time

The fact that SE has become so made of fail is more than enough to deter me from doing such.

I'll forgive you for doing so, but please, please, please, nobody else mistake this for a Square Enix production. Yes, SE bought Eidos, but this is a purely Western production, as it should be. SE is only making the cinematics, and even then, it's strictly based on direction from the Eidos team. Deus Ex has no place with Square Enix, or any other Japanese developer for that matter. Deus Ex has always, been within the realm of the West.

 

[Super Mario]

Likewise for Hitman 5. ='/

I had a chance to play the first Deus Ex, but didn't take it up. I'll definitely compensate for jumping on this game as soon as its out. It looks so amazing.

Is there optional perspective as in FPS or TPS?

 

[Joe]

Looks to be a first person shooter with third person perspectives, like when using abilities or in cover.

 

[Sheva Alomar]

From playing the demo of Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, the first person perspective doesn't work out too well--at least for me anyway. D;

 

[Max Payne]

People are saying you can toggle between both.

First person is how Deus Ex is meant to be played!


However I've heard that it toggles depending on augmentations, cinematic kills, etc etc. I haven't heard that you can toggle freely.

 

[Sheva Alomar]

Well if stealth is third and shooting is first, then I'm set.

 

[Cat Rage Room]

I'd prefer if the stealth mode was in first person (I'd actually prefer if damn near all of the game was in first person, which I think they're doing). Imagining Deus Ex in 3rd person is well, clunky, especially if you've played the first. First person in a game like Deus Ex is almost half the experience, and I think they intended that.

 

[Cat Rage Room]

Hey guys, if you want to check out something really awesome, check out the Nameless Mod, an entirely fan made mod project that took 7 years to make. While the story is completely original and not a part of the Deus Ex world, it's a mod ran off the Deus Ex base engine, but it's really well done; voice acting, gameplay, plot, technical stuff, the works.

Also it's free.

Haven't played earlier games in the series but this looks pretty cool. I liked the part where he Optimus Primed that one guy's face.

 

[Vendel]

too bad SE ain't making it

What a shame.

Spoiler

 

[Cat Rage Room]

Looks like they're not fucking around.

 

[Hisako]

Well, at the very least they're getting SE to do what they do best
I was going to put up a thread for this like last week the instant I saw the trailer but I was too lazy to get the delta symbol in hurr hurr


I've always gotten this Ghost in the Shell vibe from the whole series and the trailer (even the teaser before it) really really reinforced that with the action and the scenery. Not to mention the music reeks of epic like Innocence.
And it's already been long-established that the hybrid RPG-shooter works. Now we just have to see if their new additions will work.

EDIT:

Well if stealth is third and shooting is first, then I'm set.

iirc from another forum I believe this is predominantly the case, although the ability to toggle that would be excellent.

 

[Cthulhu]

I never played Deus Ex, although I heard of it.

The trailer looks really promising, now I only hope they can translate that into proper gameplay and they can actually complete the story they set out in that.
