*****Official Deus Ex 3: Human Revolution discussion thread*****

Ah! Hadn't noticed the normal edition. Regardless I'm going to have to wait to see if I can play it, or if it, like a lot of modern games, gives me motion sickness before laying out full price for it.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Will wait for the reviews on this one. Highly doubt it will come anywhere close to being as good as the first one. Another bargain bin pickup for me

 

[Warbie]

I'll wait for reviews too. I can understand the excitement around Deus Ex 3, but let's be fair, it looks nothing like the original. At all. Considering it's the name that's creating the interest i'm surprised so many people are hyped for a game that looks NOTHING LIKE Deus Ex

*takes cover in 3rd person and kills someone in a canned animation!*

 

[Shamikebab]

Looks nothing like it

The game play is pretty similar and it's set in the same world...

 

[Warbie]

Maybe I haven't seen enough footage. What I have seen looked like an action game with a few more choices than usual. All it would take to put my fears to rest would be footage or a few screenshots of an inventory full of items and a gui that looks nice on the PC.

Thanks for that link. Nice read. I think I will be very satisfied indeed. Can already say from what I read, worth the £30 I paid the other day

That preview just reinforces my expectations of it being a completely carebear game.

Great link. I think their final paragraph sums up my feelings for it (and a lot of games when they come out) pretty well:

So there you have it! Deus Ex: Human Revolution arrives this August. Be more excited about it than you’ve been for any other game ever made, but also preemptively disappointed. You know it makes sense.

I know there will be things I don't like about it, things that I think should have been done differently or not at all. I know that I'll still love playing it though.

This is what I think also. But I will always pay full price and support games like this. So they keep making and improving them

Much rather this type of game compared to say Crysis 2 :/

 

[Evilsod]

So, they're essentially saying, get it later when its gone down in price?

It just sounds like its using the Deus Ex name to generate hype while not really having anything but the setting in common.

Actually, what you buying this game says is, "keep dumbing down these games and catering for people who have trouble thinking beyond the next ten seconds, and I'll keep giving you my cash and rewarding you for barely trying".


That's on the assumption that it is dumbed down garbage - which imo it looks like so far.

In your opinion, that is what I am saying. The game is not out for us to make such judgments. If you said that about say DA2 or ME2 I could understand. In both those games they dumbed down the games a lot. That is why I probably won't buy ME3 at full price, but when it hits a fiver. But like DA2, I won't miss out either.

Well obviously I'm going off what I've seen so far, with the map telling you everywhere you need to go, highlights around anything, startingly obvious and conveniantly placed crates and obstacles/objectives and so on.

 

[Shamikebab]

startingly obvious and conveniantly placed crates

Lets face ot the first one did that as well

 

[Tefal]

just me or do a lot of the screenshots look very low texture quality with some sort of post processing blur filter over the whole screen to try and hide it?

Crucially, you never feel weak. In the first Deus Ex, if you were a sneaky type and got caught, or you were a murderous type and took a lot of damage in a fight, there was a sense of failure. Human Revolution gives the sneaky guy tools to correct being located from his very first mission (punching that enemy who just walked into your hiding spot, or activating your camoflage to make your escape), and by swapping numerical health for regenerating health, the murderous type can no longer make mistakes.

Now, it’s just a fantastic ride.

ugh.

About sums up were a lot of games are heading, unfailable challengeless movies where you occasionally press a button.

+1

Regarding lack of difficulty - didn't I read somewhere that on the hardest level you're dead if shot at for more than 1 second? Sounds challenging to me ;-p

 

[TNA]

I am pretty sure I read that you can turn this on and off. The game seems to be finished, hopefully they are using the time to make changes to the feedback they get. Having an on and off button for such things like arrow, or highlights should not be too hard to include in the PC version one would think, unless breaks the game someway.

As for startingly obvious and conveniantly placed crates and obstacles/objectives and so on, as Shamikebab pointed out, the 1st game did that also.

The way I see it is, from what I have read so far, I would much rather have this game exist than not exist. So I will pay £30 and support them. If it turns out much worse an experience then what I have been reading, then I will not pre-order next game.

Each to their own I say. Look at how many people bought Crysis 2, now that was dumbed down garbage to me. Yet go check out the thread, look how many peeps bought it at full price anyway. lol. I will add it to my steam collection when it's a fiver in a few years time. Maybe DX11, will be included by then. lol.

 

[mikeyholt]

They announced a while back that the highlighting etc. will be optional and it can be turned on/off easily.
