After playing the first a bit, all the Deus Ex we can get is good.
Splendid. I'll have something to play in 2006.
Good news. I suppose we'll have to wait until after Invisible War to speculate as to what it's about.

OMG!
The thought itself had never even occured to me, that they would make a third one, too. Feeling like a kid in Xmas.
I would have waited until after Christmas before announcing anything. That way, they could be sure it's going to sell well... I think it will, but, it never hurts to be cautious...of course, announcing it earlier means that some people might buy it as an investment into the third...
Oh, I don't know what I'm talking about. - Go Warren! Make the best Deus Ex possible!

Sure, why not...
You already have something to play in 2006, the first one. Don't expect it to simply go away, people still play Dark Forces (myself included) Deus Ex shouldn't last and shorter. I'll probably play them all in a row.Originally posted by Z

Funny how the rules of sequels don't apply when it's something we really like, eh?
(wooowooo! DX3!)
Couldn't agree more really. I wouldn't be suprised if some of that pressure is coming from Eidos directly.
I agree!Originally posted by Abysmal
I'm a little disappointed at the same time though. Make something new!
the makers of DX have shown that they are creative, let them do something new!!
Warren made it clear that he isn't going to get himself stuck doing the same thing over and over. I think that we can count on him to stop it as soon as they can't make it new and original anymore. On the other hand they could probably keep on turning out Deus Ex games for decades and not have one be lacking in originality.
But it won’t happen, they want to do new things, and they will.
I have been hoping, no, fantasizing, for a long time that they would try making an action + rpg rather like Deus Ex, but set in a tradtional fantasy setting evocative of Daggerfall or the Forgotten Realms. Futuristic cyber-stuff is cool, but I desperately want to play a fantasy rpg with that kind of gameplay philosophy. I hope they make a ton of cash and can afford to try out all their new ideas!
sigh...oh well...
I'd like a resident evil style game with the depth of Deus Ex. I would love to see a game with the classic b-movie style that maintained depth and (hard as it may be to comprehend) realism.
Erm... isn't that just system shock?Originally posted by chris the cynic

Unfortunately I have not played that. Anyway there is always room for more.Originally posted by trevor the sheep

No, system shock had the depth (in terms of story) of a Dawson's Creek Episode. Did ANYONE doubt that the AI was going to turn against you? Certainly at no point did you find yourself questioning your beleif systems like in Deus Ex (is more technology always a good thing...?)
And if evil be the fruit of genius, there aren't many demons around.
As I said in another thread, DX is far away from beying "done" by the developers... The formulae is still getting balanced and tweaked, unlike a "reagular" shooter.
I think they can make a couple more DX's and still refine it beyond wht it is today.
Uh, you're kidding, right?Originally posted by Javert4186

He obviously just meant system shock 2. And even then he is still wrong.
That makes me curious, did the system shockers (Originally posted by trevor the sheep

Hmm, how did I miss that one?
If he thinks the whole story revolved around SHODAN turning on you, then he surely missed the point. The fact that SHODAN was the villain and that you'd eventually butt heads with her was meant to be blatantly obvious, well at least to us. The brilliant part of the plot was how you were forced to work for someone you knew was evil because you really had no choice. SHODAN's slide show speech was IMO all about her trying to scare you into submission, and make you come to the realization that it's in your best interests to serve her.
To draw a parallel to DX, ask yourself, if there was going to be some kind of plot twist involving your character's affiliation, what would it be? Of course you end up turning on your former employers and working for the resistance! Very Crusader-esque.
I'd love to see a game which was like a cross-breed between Deus Ex 1/2 and No One Lives Forever, ie. with "real world" settings, and cool spy gadgets like the camera blocker (as well as the general purpose Dx multi-tools).
I've never even played DX 1. At the moment, the demo for DX 1 is slowing downloading.

Just a rather pessimistic comment, but is anyone still cheering for the prospect of Deus Ex 3 when the second seems to be in dire straits with most old fans? I hear it's quite sluggish, and AI are non-existent, it takes 5-6 head shots to kill them, and havok is quite poorly implemented (to name a few complaints). So, if it's true many/most aren't enjoying it, why parade around a news release for DX3? I realize David posted this before the second came out, but just thought I'd ask if anyone is still looking forward
