I really hope they use the first Deus Ex as a template from which to work, and not the less than stellar sequel. The original game was great partly due to its level of complexity - skills + augs, hit zones on the body, comprehensive inventory/journal system etc. Good ability to use stealth and better hacking, and a great conspiracy tale.
The original Deus Ex surpassed Invisible War in every way except graphics. In DX:IW I hated that any action you took against any faction meant basically nothing, because you could always get back on their good side. There were no real consequences, which cheapened the experience, and the ending was just incredibly lame.
If DX3 is more like IW I think I'll pass. Unfortunately I think it will be, considering the trend of 'streamlined' and 'accessible' multi-platform titles. It's going to take a lot to convince me this next sequel is worth it.
