Deus Ex 3

[Purkake]

Well, he's obviously grumpy when he says "I never asked for this".

 

Do we actually know more about his character? I'm basing this just on the trailers.

Wait, do you really thing he's obviously grumpy, or are you just joking around again like when you said he was a downer? It's hard to keep up.

 

The line exists to give viewers the information that Jensen was made a cyborg against his will.

You know his wife/girlfriend got (probably) killed, right? Losing his arms isn't the real drama, I think. If anything it's adding insult to injury. Consider that he's also been made a cyborg by what I assume is an evil corporation (it wouldn't be Deus Ex if he was hired by the good guys at first) and it sortof looks like he's wearing a weird company logo on his forehead, whatever that means. Maybe he wanted to stay dead after what happened to him. Maybe he was part of the anti-aug movement, I doubt he'd be overjoyed to be in the other camp all of a sudden.

 

Or you know, maybe he just wants to be Batman.

He doesn't seem like a happy and well-adjusted individual to me.

 

Have they said anything about a morality/reputation/"humanity" system?

 

EDIT: Yeah, the trailer had a line about that as well. So it's about personal revenge then?

Honestly, it's near impossible to tell who this guy actually is or what his goals are without playing the actual game.

 

I'm optimistic about this, the story seems a bit more adult than most games released recently. I can't explain why, it just seems more emotionally engaging. But hey, there's about an equal chance I'm completely wrong and it winds up being all Batman-angst.

Ok simmer down folks...

 

Here is a interesting article of the list of the 21 augs you can get done by PC gamer;

Very interesting to say the least.

[Tigranes]

I think it's pretty funny how Purkake's "wake up you stupidheads" biting sarcasm has gone so far off the charts now it's as diluted as McDonalds sodas. However, you can't deny a man his dedication.

 

Augs look pretty standard, there are a couple of cool things in there like using feather fall to slam down on someone. Certainly more games need to let you rain death from above.

I woder if that line was taken out of context for the trailer and actually he's just trying to order a lemon lime. It wouldn't surprise me if that in-joke is in the game.

I'm sure if the original "I vanted orrrange" line would have been used in a trailer, somebody here would have decided that the game was too emo.

Doesn't seem there's much basis to be optimistic. Although a game that would get a genuine emotional response would be something.

Why do you play games if you've never had an emotional response to one?

Mostly sense of accomplishment if things all fall into place due to planning and partly just to unravel the plot, but I'm not sure I could really class that as an emotion like sadness, joy, pity, etc. But then again, I've no soul

'sense of accomplishment' in of itself elicits a positive emotional response or your wouldn't strive to have one to start with. Saying otherwise is silly.

Yes, but it's a pretty weak one, luckily it's a force of habit by now or I'd end up not bothering, heh. But that hardly qualifies as being emotionally engaged by a game, but I did say any so fair enough. In any event, if some dude's angst over losing his arms, identity or some other fanciful stuff does trigger a notable emotion, it'll be a surprise.

i pity someone who doesn't ever connect emotionally with things that happen in video games. I can't imagine enjoying shadow of the colossus, for instance, if it didn't connect with my emotions, but that it did it so well is what makes it one of my favorite games of all time.

 

oh well, my gain, malcadors loss.

Square Enix delays Deus Ex

 

Square Enix said in a statement it is delaying the rollout of the latest installment in its "Deus Ex" game series until the financial year starting in April. It had initially planned the launch for the January-March quarter.

Well, the initial release date was the same as for Dragon Age 2, so this might have been a good move. Surprised it was Squeenix that chickened though, if I had to pick just one between the two, it would be Deus Ex for sure.

****ing Japs!

[Maria Caliban]

Delayed for possibly an entire year. That's unfortunate. Unless the final product needs some major work, I can't understand why they'd do this.

[WorstUsernameEver]

Delayed for possibly an entire year.

 

??????

[Raithe]

The financial year.. so from March.. they're looking at releasing it post-April.. Until I'm missing something..

[Majek]

So it's delayed for a least a month. No big deal.

I'm not surprised, Square-Enix has been delaying games since they were Squaresoft.
