Does this stand any chance of taking away the original's
crown of best game of all time? I'd say extremely slim,
based on the reasoning in this picture.

There's a 10-page preview in the latest issue of PC Zone.

Teaser trailer

deus ex was one of my favourite games. despite extremely
shit AI, the rest of the gameplay dynamic was great.

deus ex 2 had a stupid fuggy plot and made it too arcade
like. they watered down a lot of what made the 1st so good
and it was a good game nonetheless but not a patch on the
original

this is going to be a bit wee, i suspect.

I heard they're basically taking away the RPG aspect, stats
and character building aren't a factor now. So I can't see
how it could match the original, but if they get the story
and atmosphere right, it could still be a good game. And I'm
100% sure the environments won't be as tiny and limited in
DX3 as they were in DX2, and that's a big step in the right
direction. Man DX2's level design was boring.

I'm more interested in Thief 4, whenever it's revealed.
Unlike Deus Ex 2, Thief 3 was a great game with interesting
ideas that could be really awesome with modern hardware (The
City).

Deus Ex, about 1/3rd of the way in and forward was really,
really good. I havent played DX2 but I've been told to avoid
it anyway. What really draws me to DX3 are these visuals...
I want to play it NOW!

I know I should be happy any time another game from a good
series is being made, but god damn, do we really need
another once great FPS/RPG stripped down? System Shock 2 was
one of the best games ever... now look at Bioshock. :(

Bioshock wasn't a terrible game by any means, but I think
most people who've played SS2 will agree with me that it's a
pretty big let-down.

If done right, it could work. Taking away arbitrary
limitations on what your character can and can't do based on
stats definitely doesn't doom the game to shoot'em-up hell.
It's still seems it's going to have augs, gadgets, stealth,
non-lethal/melee, influencing the world via NPC interaction,
etc. There's such a thing as too much streamlining, they
just have to find a happy medium.

read this thread before judging. there is so much
misinformation out there at the moment that it is quite
sickening to read, especially since the preview doesn't even
tell us much.

oh and deus ex is my favourite game of all time.

I'm playing Deus Ex right now. Could anyone tell me where I
can find the leader for the Mole People? Supposedly he's in
the south end of a tunnel, and you have to push a brick
behind two cardboard boxes. I have no ideas where these are,
and it seems I've been looking everywhere...

I've already checked different FAQ's at gamefaqs.com.

Is this the part you're talking about? It's in the shelter
kind of thing with the hole in the wall. The brick is behind
the boxes and close to the floor.

Every time I think about this game or look at a screenshot,
I want to replay it.

Yes, finally found my way through!
Thanks Brisk and Ophecks! It's appreciated! :)

I like this game alot, so far. I've had this game for a
couple of years , but I've never had quite the computer
power to be able to play it. Obviously nowadays it plays
just fine (with a new laptop and all), but I've never really
had the opportunity to play it till now.

People rant at Deus Ex: Invisible War, is it really THAT bad
as people make it up to be?

I liked it a lot, though I didn't play the first one before.
When I finally installed the original, I was thrown away by
the cheesy story and couldn't finisch it. The only game that
treated our modern myths more clumsily was Fahrenheit.

Invisible War just felt more subtle and real to me. The only
terrible things that I remember were the miniscule size of
the locations and the wax faces of the characters that were
characterictic of the engine used (same thing with Thief 3).
Also, the physics were very much off, but at least they were
there and you could get used to it.

IW isn't AS bad anymore, because todays computers can
actually run it. I remember downloading the demo and
struggling to sustain 20fps, even on a top of the range PC
at the time.

Be sure to use those updated texture packs and HUD tweaks
and the game is nowhere near as bad as people make out.

According to gamefaqs, if you want to play around with
cheats, you'll have to install a patch, press 'T' (as in
'Talk'), and type in your cheats. So I installed a patch
called "deusexpatch1014f", and tried to press 'T' in-game
... and nothing happens. I'm completely lost when it comes
to things like this. Is it the wrong patch? Am I doing
wrong? Help appreciated!

Even messed around in the systems-folder (as requested at
gamefaqs), changed 'T=' into 'T=Talk' in notepad, but
nothing, nada, nill, void, nothingness, emptiness,
whateverness. 'T' doesn't give a damn about what I want it
to do... it just smiles at me with an evil grin.

3 would be best if you played as a non-hybrid who must sells
his bodyparts to become stronger and ultimately crush the
Illuminati/JC Denton/Omar and perpetuate global warming for
the hell of it

cheers for starting this thread. now convinced i must
install deus ex and play it...

never wanted to give it a try, not shure why.

system shock 2 is one of the best games, ever,

If not the best.

Bioshock was ok, but not amazing...

i thought aliens vs predator from 99 was closer to system
shock than bioshock later was.

any game developed successfully about being alone with
almost nothing, with distinct arbitrary atmosphere around,
is more or less similar in my opinion.

I think i'm going to have to replay invisible war, this time
with those textures and updates. I never did finish the game
the first time around, I remember getting fairly far and
sort of losing interest, but I've been aching for a solid
FPS/RPG to play.
