Does "spiritual successor" happen to be the badical gaming phrase of the week?

Or is it all the Dragon Age reviews I've been reading...

Wow, my excitement had taken over any logic and apparently it isn't happening.

Is anyone even remotely interested in seeing Spector involved with another Deus Ex after Invisible War & Thief: Deadly Shadows? No thanks.

Spector wasn't in charge of Invisible War - creative control was under someone else, much to the ire of the community at the time.

I too want to see another Deus Ex game badly - the Montreal crew seems to have a decent track record at making good games, so I won't get up in arms about it until proven otherwise.

Deus Ex is my favorite game, period. It's one of those game's that had both the narrative and gameplay chops to pull you in and never let you go.

I joined in with the disappointment of Invisible War. It seemed "dumbed down" for a more casual audience. But it was hardly a bad game. It was actually a pretty good game in its own right, but just couldn't leave up to the gigantic expectations us Deus Ex fans had, thus it got a bit more hate than necessary, imo. Disappointed? Certainly. Bad? No way.

And I also really enjoyed Deadly Shadows. That one didn't disappoint me. One hell of a game, imo.

It was a passable game, let's be honest, it wasn't actually very good. It wasn't very BAD either, though.

IMHO they suffered from Command & Conquer syndrome - the original game had a storyline set in the near future, where things have changed but are still relatable to the player. Then they went all out into the far future with whiz-bang technology and crazy pyramids and such... the game was just another sci-fi thing at that point. Any relevance to the player gone, poof.

Deus Ex is easily one of the greatest games of all time. I have little faith for these sequels.

Screw the grammar and spelling, the biggest concern here is you not even hearing of this game?! Seriously, Deus Ex was mind blowing... MIND BLOWING!

did i read this thing is using the tomb raider legend engine and not unreal (like the first 2) or was i smoking something? i guess if that's accurate, it'll be interesting to see that engine do something other than tomb raider...

How the hell is the Tomb Raider engine - used largely for, you know, TOMBS - supposed to render the massive, outdoor levels of Deus Ex (like Liberty Island)? I mean, they never would make the mistake of following in the steps of Invisible War's tiny, tiny levels, would they?

Would they?

Oh shit.

Would much rather have seen a Deus Ex 3 developed by Spector (a legend) than the fools who were put in charge of it at Eidos. Regenerating health and a cover system; bring on the Halo, baby!

If you've never played Deus Ex (the one that came out in 2000), then I suggest you go buy it now. All these years later, it is still one of the best games ever made.

Once you have played it you'll realize why this is such a big deal. We are still talking about a REAL sequel almost 10 years after the original release because the original was so brilliant. How many other games can say that?

I installed Deus Ex a few weeks ago, but had a weird bug where the last second or two of each line of dialog would get clipped off. And as anyone who has played the game knows, you definitely want to hear all the dialog.

Any tips on how to get it to work?
