I'd be all for a "reimagining" of the original. Trying to make a sequal to a game that's fallen off most gamers' radars isn't going to shake anything up.

Wow.

The mere mention of that franchise has got my blood pumping.

... please make it come out soon. I need my Deus Ex fix.

The first was so very, very excellent. Never played the second one but i heard it was pretty bad.

Here's to reviving Deus Ex.

As a fan ... this can go either way. The sequel was a bit of a disappointment. Not awful, but a let down ... so its hard to be really optimistic about another sequel ... and if they "re-imagine" the original to do a remake, I think I'll pass.

If I wanted retarded remakes and sorry sequels I'd still watch movies.

Deus Ex: Source

I love Deus Ex, but I never finished it. I got to the end of the ocean lab level and then when I tried to leave my computer always crashed so I could never finish the game. I tried reinstalling it different and a bunch of other things but it just never worked.

Fact Check: This was aired by a Canadian (Quebec) and not French television station.

About a week late. :V

Deus Ex is one of my favorite games of all time. I never played Invisible War because I heard from too many people it was sucktastic. Another sequel? I don't know. If Warren Spector isn't at the helm will it be worth playing?

I honestly don't think that a new Deus Ex game could even come close to the original unless it was made for PC's. One of the major problems I had with the second games was how horribly the game was dumbed down to accommodate consoles, controllers and the inherit control difficulties that they bring.

Agreed with Antipilor - Making it for consoles seemed to ruin it.

I actually liked Invisible War, even though it wasn't the same caliber as the first one it was still worth beating more than once.

Deux Ex on the Unreal3 or Source engine I'd like to see a remake of. When this game first rolled up on the scene, it flew right under my radar. I was aware of the title being out in the wild and the title was aware of me. For both of us, the town was very big. This remake shall come out on the 360/PS3 and the 360 shall support keyboard and mouse input devices so that the American People(tm) may freely get their WSAD on. Else, Eidos shall present to us a next Deus Ex that shakes the foundations of the industry and rivals the Masterpieceness of such monumental titles as System Shock. Good luck. May the force be with you.

OMG my fave game of all time is back!!!

I am so going to reinstall the original now!

Noooooo.... They're gonna f&$% forever it up without Spector to finish his story arc. I never thought that I'd annoyed/sad at the announcement of a new Deus Ex, heh. I really wish they just left the original alone, is there a sequel to Citizen Kane?

Ps: Invisible War wasn't a crap game by any stretch just in comparision to it's brother (Imo, it's an 8.9).
It's main failings were not the over simplification and unavoidably weaker story (forgetting the original game, these still blew most other games away) but much more importantly the rush job to finish it. The last level alone leaves the worst possible taste in your mouth, it's horrendous...

I absolutely adored Deus Ex, and I really really liked Invisible War as well... as a separate game. Compared to the first, not so much, but if you played it as a new game and not as 'the sequel to Deus Ex' it was actually pretty good. I'll admit that the ending was a bit wierd. I only beat it once though and I killed Paul EVERYONE, not just Paul. I have thought about picking it up if it works on the 360 and giving it another go around. The first time I played it was on PC however.

"6. I love Deus Ex, but I never finished it. I got to the end of the ocean lab level and then when I tried to leave my computer always crashed"

That's shame, you were soooo close to the end. Fantasic game, easily one of the best I've ever played and I've been playing a looooooong time now.

Deus Ex was probably the last game my ancient PC was able to actually run. Great game it really pulled you into it. Probably one of my favorite games of all time. Sadly I've been off the PC gaming scene for quite some time, just got too expensive.

The problem is... All of the endings of DE:IW basically precluded a true sequel.

This screams "Tomb Raider-itis" to me.

The first Deus Ex game was a work of complete genius.

The second fell far short - the fact that it was a console game DID ruin it. All the vast, open levels got scrunched into these dinky, cramped little micro-segments. The lack of newspaper articles, books, and other "background info" in the game also meant that the sequel lacked a lot of the depth that the original had. Funny how those small details add up to a big loss.

Without Spector's guidance, I predict that this sequel will fail. I certainly won't preorder it - I regret paying full price for IW even to this day.

I was about to reinstall the original today anyway :) Whatakoinkydink.

Here's my take on the Deus Ex situation.

The first one should be considered the mark to beat for all future games, because no game has beaten it yet anyway.

There were only three or four problems with the original, and I'll go through them one by one.

First, some of the voice-acting was dreadful, but most of it was top-notch, especially the voice of JC himself. Replace the crappy stuff with some more quality acting, and you'll have a winning remake.

Second, there's the obvious problem with graphics and sound. It was DirectX7, for chrissakes, and it's time for a revamp.

Third, the physics was just awful, as is expected for 1997. This isn't 1997. This IS the time when physics is ripe and at its best. Come on, guys, give Deus Ex a face-lift.

Finally, the AI was nothing compared to most games today. The variety of actions taken was wonderful, and the actual stealth aspect was pretty good, but there needs to be some reconfiguring of it.

I tried the second game, and I hated it very much. It was trying so hard to be the first but "better", that it forgot what the first was really about: it's not your character who discovers the conspiracy: it's YOU.

The following are the things that need to stay in Deus EX:

1. No Twin Towers at the beginning. What was an accident is, in my opinion, one of the most horrifyingly prescient aspects of the game, and would blow the mind of the mainstream if they knew this game was the same way in 1997.

2. Keep the music. It may be low-tech, but it also was a masterpiece of corporatist atmosphere-building and would have won awards had it gotten the attention it deserved.

3. Keep the maps as accurate to the original as possible. It's obvious why. You should be able to go through every scene except the boss fights without getting shot if you want to, and if possible, the sizes of the individual areas should be expanded to compensate for the power of modern PC's.

4. Every cheat code, along with the text used to activate them, MUST be kept intact. One of my favorite things about the cyberpunk setting is that using cheats in-game actually makes sense, and typing up the right things to make it easier for some players can be just as heart-pumping and fun as anything else. Even if I'm on God mode and invisible, going stealthy as much as possible that way is a valid way to play, and should stay that way.

Being a mapper for the original dx game, I think it would be awsome to have a third title in the series.. As long as it's not like the second one..
