Deus ex 3 new trailer (also delayed till early 2011)

I have a question, what's up with the city at 0:51, looks like there's an entire city built on top of the other city, literally?

Looks kinda crazy, and I thought this was supposed to take place before Deus Ex 1, Deus Ex 1's environments looked nowhere near this high-tech.

Overall from the trailer, it seems as though they've entirely re-envisioned the world and made it a lot more 'high-tech' than it was in Deus Ex 1, it looks like it's as high-tech as the world in Deus Ex 2 is.

Not sure I like it.
 
yes, there is another city on a city. it was built by the government. you can learn more from the scans.
 
Saw this on the HR forums.

Maybe it's all the gold/black crap that's throwing me off this game, but the first shot just feels more like DX to me.

I like blue in my cyberpunk. :O
 
I don't think the golden hue is that much of an issue. They've made a big deal out of their references to Greek mythology, and I construed this art style as representing the perceived Golden Age--before the fall, as it were, into what we know as Deus Ex. Of course that's not much of a Golden Age going on right up there, so I could be completely off base. I'm sure there's a whole other series of aesthetic reasons for it. Either way, though, I don't think cyberpunk has to necessarily be so pigeon-holed aesthetically as you're suggesting.

In other news, I agree entirely on the trailer being absurdly rubbish in composition, but that's obvious, so why even mention it?

I'M GUNNA SEND YOU TO HELL.
 
I like the blue better too, but just for the fact that every other game released in the past several years has had ridiculous gold/brown color adjustments like this.
 
I'd argue the cyberpunk dystopia in Invisible War is better than that of Deus Ex's. Yeah. It's true, and you All Know It.
 
The opening theme in DX2 is great....


edit: Samon you must really care about the franchise considering the number if posts in this thread....or are you just bored today?

Deus Ex did cyber-punk dystopia? It was pretty much just a near-future science fiction thriller story. Any cyberpunk in that game had simply filtered down through every major Sci-Fi film of the late 80s and early 90s. Take hacking: hardly Neuromancer, was it? John Connor did that whole 'stream of numbers' thing years before.

Not convinced Invisible War went much further either. I just think of the hilariously awful Omar / Jock Tarsus Recruit sidestory, and wonder what the heck you're on about.

Not pigeon-holing. Just preference.

I just felt that with a different color saturation, all of a sudden the images looked more DX-ey to me.
 
I always thought Deus Ex's setting was similar to James Cameron's work: everything is blue, cold, and dark (tech-noir). Plus, the entire game takes place at night. I think what we see in Human Revolution is the true dystopia, and events which lead the civilization into a collapse. It's a new world where people no fear of moral - they believe they are doing the right thing for the greater good.

When they done with the evolution, they leave everything behind, and start a new beginning (BSG's ending). It is like the gap between the first two games. In Deus Ex, the humanity fear of advanced technology. Perhaps, they don't have access to anything. It was never explained. There is independent factions, and large corporations have control on almost everything.

I hope this doesnt turn into another Diablo 3 "MY COLLOORRRRSSSSSS" thing.

The Terminator was released in the same year (1984) as Neuromancer.

Blue tech-noir is more Ridley Scott's Blade Runner or Spielbergs Minority Report...
I don't think that Human Revolution will be true dystopia, it's a rotten Golden Age.
 
I still need to beat Deus Ex 2. The HUD and other factors just really put me off.
 
No, no, you're obviously bothered about it, so why not indulge us a little more? Don't hold back, now.

John Connor was in Terminator 2. Hacking in Neuromancer wasn't a 'stream of numbers'. You misundermastood.
 
This is very true...
On how a prequel can look more technologically advanced than the first game...

"We released the first screenshots and people said, oh man - it's a prequel that's set twenty years before Deus Ex, and it looks more technologically advanced. Well the thing is that if you look at the computer screens or television screens in Deus Ex, then our real-world monitors are already bigger, flatter and of a higher resolution than that in the modern day.

"What do you do with that? Don't get me wrong we are doing this game for the fans and everything, but you can't just make it for the fans. It makes no sense. It's undebatable. It would be weird to make 4:3 ratio screens in the world, just because we want to fit in with the first one."

That was ****ING awesome. Now can we get some ingame footage?

If by "very true" you mean not true at all.

Our real-world monitors are so much more advanced! :rolleyes:

They went a lot further in the art direction than just updating things like display aspect ratios. In Deus Ex you were transported around in a nondescript black helicopter, and in the prequel they have some kind of weird futuristic VTOL? Not only does it not make any sense in the Deus Ex timeline, it makes even less sense as projection of our real world timeline. It takes place 17 years from now. I guarantee that when that year comes, it will look a hell of a lot more like the original Deus Ex than this "double-decker city" nonsense.

Yeah I finished Deus Ex and immediately fired up Deus Ex 2 and....

Goddamnit man... goddamnit.
 
From what we saw here it looks like you push a button and the game plays by itself. Then you go a little further and push a button again.

What.
 
It looks nice... I'm not sure about having too many quick time events though. I mean those always look awesome the first time and then they start getting old and becoming more of an annoyance.. like final fantasy summons. Still looks pretty good to me.
 
Well I've got 5 mins left downloading, I'll say soon enough.

Edit: ****.. the download speed is up and down, 16kbs now...
 
I'm downloading that video from megaupload at 28kB/s what the ****.
 
Just finished downloading it and it does have the videos. It's not gay porn :p

I can't watch it yet... I have to go shower.
 
The leaked footage started off nice in the first video. Then everything after introducing the cinematic takedowns, the third-person cover/combat game, the endless camera switching, and the slow-mo action cutscenes kind of did it in for me. And Barret just sounded bad.

I can't saw I was surprised, although the takedowns were actually worse than I feared.

Same thoughts I had. He also mentioned it was an FPS with RPG elements, instead of something like Fallout 3 which is an RPG with FPS elements...

He was also demoing it on a console (PS3 it looked like)... always the death knell for any kind of decent PC game. Contextual automatic jumping is all it needs to be full console butchery.
 
Jesus, the idle "lookatme! I'm doing stuff" animations npcs do when they're talking with the player are so overacted and unnatural. And yeah, the first/third person switching is utterly obnoxious.

Inventory system looks non-existent. Looks like you can carry as much shit as you want. Takedowns I don't mind, but here they look too easy. The guy dropped down right in front of those two guys, clearly in their field of view, and he was still able to do a takedown. If they see you it shouldn't allow a takedown, otherwise its just too easy. Also... 100% invisibility cloak? Theres a gamebreaker. Has no one learned the lesson from Crysis? I can tell already that this game is going to be easy as ****.

I am disappointed. Hype level is back to where I was with Invisible War.
