Eidos Montreal working on a new Deus Ex game

[metadigital]

I like to pretend that the franchise will mirror the Highlander films, where the first is a classic, the second is

not even worth mentioning

and the third is just a very well produced re-hash of the essential ingredients of the first, with a tiny concession to the plot (otherwise it would just be a remake).

I am not sure about these news. On one hand, it is nice that someone wants to continue one of my favorite franchises. But on the other hand, the sequel was inferior in almost every way to the first one, and adding a studio with unknown amount of persons involved the previous ones doesn't help either.

[Sand]

Its kind of like Bethesda doing Fallout... almost. I hope it is as good as the original. The universal ammo thingie in the second one didn't bother me too much but it was a bit too universal. I can see nanofluidic ammunition being used in ballistic weaponry if the nanite solution has that ballistic type programmed into them. You could have tons of nanfluidic ammo but if they don't have the program to produce the ammo for that high powered rifle you are carrying then you are SOL.

And the fourth and fifth installments are so bad that even acknowledging their existence is a painful experience and punishable by death in some countries.

 

"There can be only one" indeed.

[metadigital]

There was a fourth and fifth? I knew they made a series, which was kinda silly ...

[Sand]

Fourth and fifth movie had Adrian Paul's character in it, and was prety much the main character. Christopher Lambert's character is killed off in the fourth movie.

Take that back! The series was awesome! I watched it religiously.

[Fenghuang]

Yeah, the series was good times. Not the same quality as the movies that were good, but good television.

[aVENGER]

Hmm, this is somewhat interesting, though I'm not getting my hopes too high until we receive more info about the game. Anyway, what I'd personally like to see would be a prequel to the original Deus Ex, possibly with the focus on Paul, rather than a continuation of Invisible War's screwed up streamlined

[Aram]

I think it's worth stating twice that Invisible War was pure balls.

I don't think it even had those.

Of course it's difficult to not see Warren Spector at the helm of the next DX, but I'll keep an eye out and hope for the best. I was disappointed at IW's lack of consequences to your actions, but I didn't have any real issues with the gameplay.

If you kept completing missions from one faction then the other factions would go ballistic on you.

 

Actually they'd just sit on their collective asses threatening you with repercussions. At one point in the game they'd also send a couple of goons to put you out of your misery but that's basically all there was to it. Amusingly, regardless of whatever you did against a faction or the severity of certain actions against them, they'd still keep trying to recruit you.

The Highlander was "good television" in a Beastmaster-on-the-WB kind of way, or a Sci-Fi-non-BSG-original-series kind of way, which is to say, it wasn't good television at all, but exceedingly cheap, poorly written fantasy/sci-fi with a pretty protagonist without acting talent.

 

I knew a guy who lived in a house full of Highlander freaks and they made me watched a few episodes, where they introduced the cabal of mortals who kept track of the Immortals? It was absolutely, irrevocably bad.

It was awesome! Awesome, I say!

But that's the genius of the super-intelligent forces behind everything! Never give up! Always try to win by recruiting your biggest opponent!

[Sand]

Um... I liked Beastmaster.

[Shryke]

Deus Ex 1 = awesome

 

Deus Ex 2 = balls

 

i stuck with the pistol for pretty much the entirety of the second game. everything else just used too much bloody ammo

*waits for Thief 4*
