GDC 2010 - News

[Barnz]

Apparently, someone took pictures of a trailer for Deus Ex 3.

Gabe is going to get an award in 3-4 hours.

 

[Darkside55]

I was going to mock the angel in the shots and make a "Max Payne movie" quip, but eh. Arm blade looks cool.



Also I want to make a "fat award" joke, but it'd just leave me feeling empty.

Unlike Gabe's stomach.

Jesus ****ing christ, DX3 is going to be horrible.

And it's a nightmare of the protagonist. Nightmares tend to be crazy.

I like what I see.

 

[Paulaner]

Those pictures are really nice. I've high hopes for this game.

 

[Barnz]

I didn't like the scenes from game, but the dream part. Art direction seems to be strong, the protoganist looks...well, strange. I simply don't like it. I'm not going to bash it for now...but come on, we all know what it is going to be.

I recognized the recreation, but why is he then all of the sudden Icarus? Icarus already has a place in the Deus Ex lore as an artificial intelligence. Unless this guy has something to do with the AI, then I will not be happy. And I also really hope you can customize the look of your character, because I hate the way he looks.

EDIT:

And this shot confuses me more.

Is this implying there will be location-specific damage?

It's called a "nightmare". You know, the stuff that happens when you fall asleep and bad mojo is in your head.

Like heavy duty wiring and hardware.

 

[Krynn72]

OK, so they're showing you a nightmare as the game's intro that has nothing to do with the story whatsoever?

It has bearing on the story.

We just don't know what it is.

Anatomy of the arm, main character has robot arms, he's focusing in on a soldier's arm, he has an arm blade...there is a lot of arm imagery here.

 

[Tagaziel]

Is the game focusing on robot masturbatory fantasies of modern gamers?

WHO KNOWS

 

[Barnz]

it's focusing on renaissance' characteristics

Enhance 34 to 36. Pan right and pull back. Stop. Enhance 34 to 46.

 

[MJ12]

Wow, he looks just like Voltaire

 

[knut]

gabe newell just appeared in the latest mega64 video

edit: well, it's opening up for his award right now. looks like i picked a good time to randomly tune in

[David.Seth2]

was that planned? i mean, blue screen of death? really?

 

[Krynn72]

His last words were "Good luck figuring it out" after saying he was going to talk about the portal viral and getting a blue screen.


WHAT THE HELL GABE

 

[Stigmata]

Gabe Newell, Master Troll.

[Krynn72]

Good read. Wasn't expecting an explanation about the Icarus thing so quickly. Guess it makes sense, even if its a bit cliche. Interested in seeing that gameplay snippet and the dialog system.

 

[the cow says moo]

Small Q&A from ign.

 

[Krynn72]

Trailer here

http://pc.ign.com/dor/objects/90717...videos/deusex3_trl_trailer_30910.html?show=hi


Alright, I'm pretty god damn psyched for this now. That Q&A made it sound like they do indeed know what they are doing. Still can't say I like the no-shadow stealth, and the regenerating health, but if they pull through on other aspects, and make a truely intelligent and engrossing game, I will quickly forgive.

"Deus Ex: Human Revolution is in development for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. It has no release date."

 

[Gargantou]

I'm quite excited for the new Deus Ex now, hope it turns out good!

 

[Bad^Hat]

Hyped. Maybe I'll have to actually finish Deus Ex now. :x

Also, did I see ****ing SKIN PORES? That's some detail right there.

 

[Krynn72]

It wasn't in game :|

 

[Bad^Hat]

And even so, I don't recall seeing that kind of detail in CG before. Just sayin'.

Edit: Anyone else find the copy-paste robot sounds from his cybernetic parts annoying? Every time I hear something like that I always picture the producer looming over the sound director's shoulder saying, "yeah that's great but you should put in some beep boop sounds or something so people know it's robotic, kay? Ciao babe, that's lunch."

 

[MJ12]

And even so, I don't recall seeing that kind of detail in CG before.

U drunk?

 

[VictimOfScience]

U drunk?

Seconded.

Crysis had pores and so does Heavy Rain...in-game!!

 

[B_MAN]

some pretty sweet new trailers up on GT
Brink looks and sounds promising

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/gdc-10-brink/63040?type=flv

 

[the cow says moo]

Brink has peaked my interest.

 

[Stigmata]

Brink looks like Futuristic Garbage Parkour TF2, but in a really good way.

Also, "It has no release date." has made me more hopeful for DX3 than anything else I've heard about the game.

 

[Gargantou]

Brink has peaked my interest.

Yeah, which is surprising because it didn't really interest me all that much back when it was first announced!

 

[Bad^Hat]

Seconded.

Crysis had pores and so does Heavy Rain...in-game!!

Played neither of those.

I realise I'm probably wrong about it, but when I watched that trailer something about the detail level just made me go "daaaaaaaaayumn."

Like, out loud.

Edit: Hey, nice to see Alpha Protocol coming along so well, that delay has really done wonders! It's already won awards in show for Most Awkward Looking Controls, Most Annoying Distance Blur Effect, Most Dated Graphics and Most Derivative Dialogue System.

[Stigmata]

That game looks ****ing awful

[edit] Not awful per se, but nowhere near the level of quality and cohesion I was hoping for. Regenerating armor, ridiculous animations, bad AI, a maze of silly abilities, awkward mission/objective design, ham-fisted writing...

 

[Krynn72]

Holy shit that "sneaky run" animation had me rolling. Looked ridiculous.

 

[Gargantou]

Holy shit that "sneaky run" animation had me rolling. Looked ridiculous.

Yeah same, you'd expect Alpha Protocol to look a lot better given how many delays it's had.
