Rumor: Deus Ex 3 coming-out party in next month's PC Zone mag

by Christopher Grant { Sep 8th 2008 at 1:39PM }

We don't know much about Deus Ex 3 – we know it's coming; we know it's being developed by the unproven team at Eidos Montreal; and we know it will use Crystal Dynamics' Tomb Raider engine. If a pic snagged by GAFfer Endless is to be believed, next month's PC Zone magazine (its "200th issue spectacular"!) will have a lot more details. If the internet has taught us anything – besides the gullibility of its users – it's that one can reasonably expect magazines to end up in the hands of scan-happy forum-goers well in advance of their purported street dates, so hopefully we'll know if this is legit before October 9th.

That's pretty much a given but I'm buying it for PC for old times sake. What a game!

I never played Deus Ex, but I know some people that have and they are all "OMG TEH AWESOME" about it.

So my interest is piqued....

Deus Ex is pretty great, but it's one of those games that promises too much and then you feel disappointed that it didn't do everything. Not that it's bad in any way - I played it a lot actually, but sometimes you'd just get this feeling like the game could have made the step from great to awesome had they just done a little more.

But as long as you accept some limitations, it was great fun with pretty good replayability. I don't know about the sequel though. I read that they took out skills, which was the best part of the game, so I never bothered getting it.

That is a very good idea.

This is good news. I went through the games on Gametap not too long ago. I have the first game on disk laying around somewhere... but the second one I gave away after playing the first time. It seemed like the best thing to do to get the bad taste out of my mouth. Yuck. I hope the third is a hellofalot better than the second.

Wish I was a subscriber to PCZone, as it is I get it 4 days later than the internet by popping down to my newsagents.

Although one of the writers recently sent me a package including maple syrup, a 48k spectrum game (on a cassette) and Total Drivin' on the PS1.

AoE @ Sep 8th 2008 4:12PM

Well what are you doing standing here?! Rather than regale us with tales of your being gifted maple syrup, howzabout you contact your writer friend to confirm/deny this rumor?

Haggard @ Sep 8th 2008 4:54PM

Well, there are tens of thousands of subscribers who have this issue and would be able to tell you better than I and just as well as anyone who works there.

Plus I don't see why someone would hoax this.. that's the font they use, that's how they set out the back page, and an article on a game which has already been confirmed isn't so rare.

You can also see what part of a european kitchen looks like. Yes, we even have toasters now!

You have a fully working copy of Jet Set Willy on tape?!? Have you any idea how much a mint condition one of those is? Up to £40/$70 apparently if it's been signed by Matthew Smith himself. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ZX-Spectrum-JET-SET-WILLY-SIGNED-by-Matthew-Smith_W0QQitemZ260262021982QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item260262021982&_trkparms=72%3A985%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14">

i am erect.

that is to say, my interest is piqued.

I doubt anyone can honestly hope for a Deus Ex of the same caliber that the original title was. Two while not really a bad game on its own is still a prime example of how not to stay true to a games essence.

Charlie_Six @ Sep 8th 2008 3:35PM

Without Warren Spector, Deus Ex just doesn't work.

silverwolf761 @ Sep 8th 2008 3:37PM

Do I hope for a sequel of the same caliber as the original? Absolutely. Do I think I'll get it? I'd like to, but I've got my doubts.

zuburi @ Sep 8th 2008 3:56PM

No Spector, no buy.

Dan CiTi @ Sep 8th 2008 3:37PM

This game could be so good. But I doubt it will be. Makes me a sad panda.

Doug @ Sep 8th 2008 3:45PM

Steam has Deux Ex 1 for something like $10. It'll play on pretty much any PC. And you can play it two-three times, because your decisions change the storyline.

Whether Deux Ex 3 is good or not, the original is more than good enough to play to get your DE fix.
