It looks like you have so many options available to you, can't wait! I played the original on the PC through a bunch of different times and it is probably my favourite gaming experience. I loved wandering in to the women's toilets and starting up a conversation with a woman in there who said she was going to report me to my boss...and then during the next conversation with the boss he tells me to stay out of the women's toilets! Great detail. Hope the third matches the first rather than the 2nd.
HHmmmm it looks nice, but I have to laugh at the typical 'flourishes' in the character's movement. I think the last think you want to be doing when sneaking into a penthouse and dropping from the ceiling is to crouch there for a few seconds looking all broody. The same after chopping up loads of people with special moves - the twirl, the crouch, must look dangerous!
I suppose that's what you get when it's 'Square-ified' though. I just hope it keeps the story-telling elements and atmosphere of the first without becoming too arcadey. If it does, then it should be a winner!
Oh and let's not hope that it's about 10 hours long with DLC 'forthcoming' either, but a neverending *yawn* multiplayer mode.
Looks good. I'm hopeful that it will be a nice big juicy single player epic. Something to really get my teeth into and explore the different paths available, keeping me enthralled for months - i can hope!

Yes, the detail was amazing. I know it's impossible to account for every possibility but you had to work pretty hard to throw the game. Even if you do things out of sequence - eg. go and kill/speak to somebody before you've even met the person who requires you to do it - the game pretty much always is one step ahead of you ("I already took care of that" or similar dialogue). Consistently impressed, and even more impressive when you consider how few games have come close to the DX experience in the past ten years. People bemoan DX:IW (DX2) but as a game itself it was actually pretty great; it's only in the context and shadow of the original Deus Ex (which my mind always wants me to pronounce "deuce" even though I know it's "dey-us"...) that it comes over as poor.
Totally agree that the trailer looks impressive. Only four months 'til the game's out, but I'm hoping there's a demo beforehand (there was for DX:IW). There's a lot in that trailer that harks back to the original DX - the aug options look pretty neat and there appears to be a DX-style limited, space-related inventory (combined with an almost Resident Evil-style context menu of Equip, Combine, Examine, etc.). Also looks like we're back to specific ammo types rather than DX:IW's universal (and somewhat shitty) ammo. Looking good.
Basically all we want is the original DX's utter, utter immersiveness, non-linearity and genre-defiance, combined with today's graphics and extra processing ability and storage. Am really hoping they don't f**k it up...
Still very much looking forward to it. The leak was fantastic, boss fights notwithstanding, and this, Skyrim and BF3 are the only games on my radar atm.
I was not impressed by the hype on this game earlier in the year but it sounds like they have actually delivered the goods on this one, if recent comments and reviews are anything to go by.
It's also received glowing reviews from Eurogamer and IGN with them both giving it 9/10 (considering that EG rarely gives anything more than an 8, this must be something special!).
Can't wait for it to come through my letterbox on Friday morning (PC Augmented Edition. Bought a boxed copy because the Steam version was a rip off at £39.99 and with less content...).
Well ive only played abit of it, around an hour maybe an hour and a half and at the moment it seems a cool game. The story seems interesting enough anyway.
Lip-syncing is actually pretty bad to be fair but the voice acting seems to be good.
I like how you can be completely stealthy and at the moment i always seem to try to get around without taking out a guard but the temptation is too much and a take down has to be performed lol.
Okay, so i actually have the game in my hands (delivered a day early from Amazon) but because Steam insists on sticking to release dates i can't even install the thing until midnight despite the disc containing all of the relevant data and my CD key being legitimate...:rolleyes:
I know i've only got to wait 9 hours, but it's still annoying that i'm being forbidden from playing something that is in my possession. All the while console gamers can play the game freely without any such restrictions:mad:
The graphics remind me of 'fear' a bit. I like the game so far, I only watched some of the first part of the walkthrough as I dont want to ruin any surprises when I play it myself.

Yeah it's annoying, though be grateful you've even got the game - mine still hasn't been dispatched from Amazon yet to the best of my knowledge (no email), so am keeping my fingers crossed that it even arrives tomorrow. Disappointing, given that I pre-ordered it back in Dec 2010 and was hoping to be one of the first to get posted. I know I wouldn't have been able to play it until midnight, but would have happily booted it up at midnight (Summer holidays - no work tomorrow!) and played a few hours. Grrrr.
Might have to play a bit more of the leak instead...
Comments
Does anyone know which consoles it will be released on?
Cheers
Also, is any of that gameplay?
Oh and the end of the video shows logos for PC, PS3, and 360
Thanks soon as the end had come up i closed it down - whoops.
It look like all fmv to me, no gameplay at all. Nice to see a bit more backround info but would love to see it up and running.
The second game is pretty good, but pales in comparison to the awesomeness of the original.

I'm surprised you've not heard of it.
You can still buy it on Steam, I think. Definitely worth a purchase, even though it's 10 years old.

Please don't disappoint me

This is out next Friday... Anyone else getting it?
Early reviews so far have been very good. 94% from PC Gamer, 10/10 from OXM, and 8/10 from OPM.
I'll probably get it in a few weeks for the PC.
It's also received glowing reviews from Eurogamer and IGN with them both giving it 9/10 (considering that EG rarely gives anything more than an 8, this must be something special!).

Eurogamer: 9/10
EDGE: 9/10
IGN: 9/10
Destructoid: 9.5/10
I received a dispatch email from GAME on Saturday, so if I'm lucky my copy will arrive tomorrow!
They spend nearly all the review bashing the game, saying that it has a weak storyline, repetative gameplay, weak voice acting and piss poor A.I.
The confusing part is that in the closing statement they say that it's a good game and they give a 8.7.
Strange from them as i normally regard their reviews quite informative.
