Deus Ex. Whenever this game is mentioned, someone reinstalls it on to their computer. This is a gamer meme that started out as a bit of a joke, but it’s probably true. The original Deus Ex is often thought of as one of the best games ever made, and still stands out from the rest of the franchise.
Hanzala from eXputer says, "After multiple delays, cancellations, and ownership changes, the misfortune of Deus Ex continues; this gem of a series deserves better."
One can only hope at this point Embracer will need to generate an influx of cash flow, and what better way to do so than to sell off some of its IPs... namely Deus Ex, to a competent and talented studio capable of delivering a game noteworthy of the name in future. And thinking about it further, I don't know why Embracer would sit on the IP vs sell it if it means staying in business or not.
Some games endure despite the average player wishing they could skip that first hour - here are five annoying video game openings in otherwise classic titles.
I liked the Red Dead 2 opening, certainly didn’t feel like a slog to me, but I enjoyed that whole game so for those who were just expecting ‘GTA but with cowboys’, that was probably not the opening they expected, and Red Dead 2 wasn’t the game they were hoping for …
First game that came to mind when I read the title, was Watch Dogs 2, because you’re expecting an open world sandbox game in sunny colorful San Francisco, and instead that opening has you crawling and sneaking around an incredibly boring office building …
Watch Dogs 2 is a decent game but not really a classic. The opening is awful though. You got that right.
I loved the RDR 2 opening hours the first time but going back to restart it is where the rub lies for me.
Yeah, I agree it’s not a classic, but it was the first game I thought of where I really thought; Why would you make that design choice!? If you’re gonna do a thing like that in order to teach the player some basic sneaking controls, at least make the location a bit more interesting, like an abandoned theme park or gorgeous temple or whatever, but now the gameplay was restrictive and boring, but also the location itself.
@Yi-Long Definitely true re the worst possible choices being made for the opener of Watch Dogs 2. I did enjoy WD2 overall but that intro is baffling :-D
A talented modder is creating an HD iteration of the classic Dues Ex (2000) experience in Unreal Engine 5. A new video reveals more details.
Cease and Desist DMCA imminent. All these fan projects get killed because they can't wait to show it off before it's complete.
Finish the mod/game then show it off and release it. If you announce it early then it can get taken down.
"all" is a very big number.
Deus Ex announcement at GamesCom? please be true, there isn't many games i'm that passionate about but Deus Ex is one of them
We should see more remasters of older games like Deus Ex, Half Life, "Populous The Beginning" there's sooo many timeless classics that could be brought back to life for a new generation
If you want an awesome Deus Ex experience in HD then play Human Revolution Director's cut on Wii U. It looks amazing and is an awesome game. I would buy a remaster of the orriginal in a heartbeat if they make it.
I never played the first Deus Ex, but Human Revolution was great. It was my GOTY for 2011. I would definitely buy a remastered version of the first one
Don't hack me to death, but I was never fond of this series.. would probably give a remaster a shot, but if memory serves it wasn't all that impressive.
