Raithe Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) For those with an interest... DEHR ComicCon Panel Edit: They basically have their key "science advisor" there talking a lot about current augmentations and where the science is going and how they worked that into the game.

Malcador Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 It really is a Deus Ex game now! Looks like they've tried at least. Why has elegance found so little following?

Maria Caliban Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 It's not a Deux Ex game until we have confirmation that the plot consists of 7 ridiculous conspiracy theories nestled inside of one another, inception style. Are you suggesting that all technological advances after the 1950s aren't from reverse engineered alien technology and the Illuminati isn't controlling the world's economy? /thinks Perkake is one of them.

To be honest I really will be irked if the game doesn't contain a ton of real world conspiracy theories, that's one thing that really drew me into the first game, they treated their source material very respectfully, regardless of how over the top some of it is.

To be honest I really will be irked if the game doesn't contain a ton of real world conspiracy theories, that's one thing that really drew me into the first game, they treated their source material very respectfully, regardless of how over the top some of it is. The trailers already talk about "corporations have more power than the government." Which, true or not, is the most discussed real world conspiracy there is. I'd be content if they stuck with just that, without tossing Freemasons into it or going back to Illuminati. Yeah, the Illuminati will surely be in the game somewhere, just because it's part of the setting, but I'm kind of hoping they don't focus on the fact that the corporations in power are the Illuminati.

Gorgon Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Is it really a conspiracy that many multinationals will do anything to make a buck. If you look at strip mining in South America, continued trade in aspestos, dumping industrial waste... It seems more like old news. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER.

Morgoth Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Well they better don't mix Aliens into it because that's just getting silly then. And yes, I think we're quite smart enough on our own to invent transistors and fibre optics, you silly Roswell conspiracy nutcases. Rain makes everything better.

HoonDing Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 So I'm guessing it's no coincidence that Jensen (or whatever his name is) looks like Solid Snake. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgon Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I can't help but chuckle at that. 'Adam Jensen' is a quintesentially Danish sounding name, but it just has none of the swagger and cool factor it gets when you say it with a heavy English or American accent. To a Dane, it's sensible shoes, two kids and a Volvo. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wombat Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I have little idea about why so many western sub culture fictions related with conspiracy theory...even Assassin's Creed seems to be related with it, too, while I wanted to see some historical/economic aspects of the age of Crusaders... I think Deus Ex did ideological conflict part did rather well, though. One of the possible endings , for example, feels to have a touch of the concept of philosopher king mixed with Christian mythology, where JC plays as a medium of God-like computer network and humanity . Quite many western cyberpunk works seem to be influenced by Christian mythologies, which makes the existence of Japanese works such as Ghost in the Shell interesting, where the focus is more on the human identity in information society (I personally find most of anime works are plain dismissible but there are some exceptions, indeed). Maybe Adam will be the clone donor for JC?Well, his name is Adam, at least. Also, 2027 would be appropriate if Paul were JC's natural brother and a few year senior of him, however, due to the experimental nature of their existences and conspiracies behind their origins, I wonder if the date can be a good indicator.
