Deus Ex 3

    Say what you want just back it up. Those comments make little sense and I see them everywhere. I don't know where they come from beyond 'I dislike 'x' color'.

    It's like the biggest fallacy going in the industry, the perception of games being too brown or too grey or devoid of color. It's these very short sighted comments based on snippets of a game and really mean nothing. As if Killzone 2 would have been a better game had it more colorful lighting, just for the sake of it, all the while disregarding any sort of oppressive tone it was communicating in its palette choices. And also ignoring that the game infact did have a wide range of lighting setups through out.

    You kicked up shit about Diablo 3, and I'll say that had more basis. I sort of get where that came from. But I don't get this.

    "I kicked up shit" about Diablo 3 because it just looks like world of warcraft. It's like having Deus Ex 3 look like Barbie Island Adventures. The original Deus E had lots of colour, and didn't need to communicate it's mood through boring monotone colours that look completely unnecessary to me for this sort of game. Paris for example, the streets were under martial law and the colours they used there were dark blues and greens, perfect. (Take a look at Batman Arkham Asylum, beautiful art ruined by that stupid 1 colour bat vision x ray thing) Know what this DE3 colour pallet would look good in? A coffee shop game, it would represent perfectly. Or a game where you play as a turd.

    It's just aesthetics. Not everybody has the same taste. To me monochromatic games look god damn awful. It reduces depth in a scene, it ruins otherwise great artwork and visuals. It's like covering your collection of Fabergé eggs with a layer of feces. Going by the last trailer it will not ruin the game itself for me, gameplay looks excellent and i get the Deus Ex vibe from it so i'm happy about that as a fan of the original game.

    I don't count Killzone 2 in the category of such games btw. Despite it's desaturated look on the surface it actualy has a lot of different colors and oversaturated light sources. It's in an art style of its own and i liked it.

    Am I really the only one digging the color style of DX3? Although I don't really like the gameplay showed thus far, I must say I just love the ambience and the color.

    Same goes for Diablo 3 on the color, I loved the WWI 2008 demo colors and thought the fan-made recolorizations were god-awful because they ruined the whole ambience in the tombs. I just don't see the problem if it's a bit brighter. Oh and yeah, D1 is my favorite of the series, but I really enjoy D3 too. Remember the super fluorescent green/blue monsters in D2? Remember the tombs in Act 5 before Baal? :derp:

    I still can't believe we're gonna get another DeusEx...

    I feel like I'm having a third child, after neglecting my second one and sending it to a psych ward! Whereas my first one has just recently matured having inspired and taught all the kids in the neighborhood how it's done.

    Anyway... TGS trailer with some new shit on it, but mostly recycled footage.

    RPS article is a good read

    i don't get it, how can people not like gold and black? those are like the best colors ever, individually, AND NOW YOU GET THEM TOGETHER IN A GAME?

    the hell is wrong with you people.

    also bunglo: i admire that you are willing to admit this in this circle of raging nerdosterone. some people might want to virtually tear you to shreds.

    I better start saving money! I like the way it looks and it actually feels like it is worth the Deus Ex name. I wont´judge it untill i´ve played it!

    :Edit:

    The part where he lands between a couple of guards is so cool! And the friggin robot is even cooler!

    The people working on this must be proud as hell!

    Their silence speaks much loader than words

    Perhaps they'll have a steam sale soon and I'll pick it up.

    That trailer does looking pretty awesome though.
