First details from Deus Ex 3

I liked them as well. Which is why I have little faith in this game considering comments already made by the Lead Designer.

“There weren’t enough exciting, memorable moments. It was aimed more towards a simulation rather than a game experience,” he said. This is something he plans to change with his version of the RPG-Shooter.

Now we will have a cover system instead of shadows and COD4 auto heal.

I am at the point where I think games would be better if COD4 had never come along.

Also Cover Systems wrongly employed, and they almost always are, wind up as pure trash because they fail to note that the ability to take cover behind something is more important than a cover system. It also forces level design away from realism and instead leads developers to dot the landscape with objects for cover.

The story is basicly just like Deus Ex 2. Same thing happend there.

But imo Deus Ex has always delivered the best graphics of it's gen. And I can see this being almost in the line of Heavy rain. But overall I'd much rather have game content than extravagant graphics which takes up too much space for anything else to fit there.

I wouldn't rule out auto-heal completely. If, and ONLY if, limb damage/crippling is retained. You can auto heal vitality all you want but if your legs are broken and and arm is broken, you can't run and you can't shoot, meaning you'll die pretty quickly if you engage in a firefight. Limb damage should have to be attended to just like in the original.
Moreover, this game is competing with Fallout 3 for Action/RPG/FPS glory this generation, and by all rights should be able to achieve it if it sticks to it's roots. But we know it won't.

This gen is not meh, in fact, I'd say every other gen has been meh compared to this one which has provided me and many others with gaming experiences unparalleled in previous gens. It's in the nature of the video-game industry, it progresses and evolves. If you, for some mysterious reason, can't find anything in the VAST array of games available for all the consoles today I suggest you go back and play those games you hold so dear, because things will not go back to how they were. An honest recommendation if you like Deus Ex (which I loved) is that you try Mass Effect for an engaging storyline with branching alternatives and tactic combat.

PS: In no way or shape am I saying that Deus Ex should become more mainstream (read generic fps), my comment was simply in regards to the "this gen is meh" thing, which I disagree with.

Hah you do NOT go to Mass Effect looking for a Deus Ex like experience. The closest thing you'll get to Deus Ex without it being Deus Ex is Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, either S.T.A.L.K.E.R game, or hell Fallout 3.

I actually have pretty low hopes for DE3 since Invisible War was severely dumbed down, I still can't bring myself to continue the game. I'm glad they're bringing back all the gameplay systems from the original but I agree with the sentiments about the designer's comments, damn I hope Warren Spector steps in.

I'll clarify, seems I didn't express myself correctly. No Mass Effect is not a lot like Deus Ex, I realize that. I meant it as a comparable experience of awesomeness, sorry.

JeanPool knows not what you are speaking of. Dark Sniper does not make himself seen, JeanPool thinks.
