    ohh finally, looks fucking amazing! Just wish the guy had scanned them instead of taking photos

    Did you work on any of those environments?

    ":176x85x7]NICE!! I'm waiting for this game for so long now! I hope I don't get disappointed, so far so good, hope it stays that way.

    Your avatar isn't it from Deus Ex? Was like hundreds of years i played a demo of Deus Ex the first game.

    It looks pretty good, from what I can make out

    Oh boy, this will undergo the same scrutiny as Fallout 3 - but suppressed. I can feel the tension already!

    These created a shitstorm yesterday on the internet, with some people calling it anime and saying it looks like shit. I 'd.

    There are some quibbles I can't help but agree with though, like that some of it looks more futuristic than Deus Ex, despite this game only being 20 years in the future compared to Deus Ex's 50, and wtf regenerating health?

    Honestly, I think this is a really bad argument and I don't understand why some people hold that against the game. Deus Ex 1 was made like 8 years ago. The only reason why it looked the way it did was because technology didn't allow for very...lets say.... "adventurous" visuals... It was very very limiting. That's why all the buildings in the first game look like pixelated shoe boxes. Technology has advanced so much since then, enabling us to go way further with the visuals than the first game. I bet you if the people making the first game would have had the possibility of pushing the visuals the way we are now, they would have. It wouldn't make sense to create a game that looks as bland as the first Deus Ex (let's be honest, it didn't look very good). As for the art style....I love it. it's a lot of fun and in my opinion it's a nice breeze of fresh air in midst of all those brow/grey next-gen pseudo realistic games these days...

    Looks promising. Don't disappoint me!I just finished Deus Ex 1 an hour ago btw.

    me too, I played it for the 8th time, (I play DeusEx from start to finish at least once a year) I always love to do the 3 different endings in the last level!

    It's less the design of the environments (those look sweet ) and more the mech augs shown in the concept art and descriptions of the mech augs available, versus Gunther and Anna. They've got this decidedly low tech look to them. Bits of metal plating welded onto skin and bone, metal robo-replacement parts. With what we've seen of DX3 stuff looks far more presentable, at least, being plasticy and humanoid.

    Of course, there might be a very good reason for this- after all, present day artificial limbs are plasticy and humanoid, rather than clunky metal- it's all in the utilization and abilities. Gunther and Anna have increased strength and endurance, infolinks, explode when they die, and can do stuff like track JC's heartbeat via satellite. DX3's Adam however can apparently spring tentacles out of his back and bungie jump. I hope at least as a trade-off he can't take as much of a beating, but then again he can punch through walls and do kung fu "multikills".

    Edit: Maybe his limitation is a limited battery for his systems and every twenty minutes ingame you have to find a wall outlet and plug yourself in.

    Edit2: My favorite of the shots released:

    LOL

    oh nooo. how did you know???

    So much for seeing JC.

    SIGH. I'm getting really pissed with developers lately.

    Sounds good to me, not sure about the whole security officer thingy tho.

    In DX1 you were a manufactured super soldier, trained to be a killing machine to join UNATCO later on, so it all started with some importance for the main character right away, and all the plot circles around him.

    so I don't see if choosing to play with a security officer working for a biotechnology firm is a good idea or not, it sounds like some security officer got curious and suddenly started to poke his nose and discovering governs secret?! Mmm, I dunno but I'll wait to see before I start criticizing!

    dux, DX1 takes place in 2052, DX3 takes place in 2027, exactly 25 years which I believe it's the exact age of JCDenton, so this is the year JC was born, probably. So I guess most of the plot will be around that, therefor if you see JC or Paul Denton, they will be fetus or just kids. I'm just speculating here.

    Edit, just remenbered Morpheus mentions JC is 23 years old!

    JC's origins are muddled in the game. In Area 51, a datacube reveals JC's date of inception as March 17, 2054, with an "assigned birth date" of March 17, 2029. Since Deus Ex takes place in 2052 this would mean JC is physically 23 years old (this is supported by the fact Morpheus mentions JC is 23), and he was growth accelerated to his biological age. This would be assuming that the inception date was incorrect. This leaves no room for most of his original backstory, unless the acceleration was somehow irregular or his memories are in fact false (which raises serious questions about his relationship with Paul). Another datacube contains an email about "creating genetically viable candidates for nano-augmentation through cloning", speculating that "in the future, this process could be streamlined through the application of accelerated growth and memory implantation", which lends some credence to this theory.This leaves open the possibilities that JC and/or Paul are the result of such a process (and that all references to their past and their parents are forged) or that the datacube with JC's age (and the appearance of fully-grown clones in tubes) is simply an inconsistency introduced by development of the game. Given the complexity of the plot of Deus Ex and its numerous twists, neither can be discounted.
