Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Full E3 Trailer

My only disappointment is the fact that there's no whay the gameplay will be able to pull off the sense of atmosphere that trailer instills. Still, amazing trailer and I'm hyped.

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"]Wow, the one major thing that the first Dues Ex lacked (not so much the sequel however) is emotion and characters. This may blow both games away in those department. While the plot of the first game was great, the characters however weren't. They were emotionless and one dimensional for the most part. The characters and teh emotion of the storyline were improved in the sequel, however, by streamlining and consolizing, it exposed the flaws of the game (clunky gameplay, bad AI). But the protagonist in this one will have far more character than either JC or Alex Denton, and has a backstory (a tragic one) to boot. This game, by looking at the trailer, destroys both games on human impact of the major players power struggle. As great as the first Deus Ex was, it didn't do two things......feature great characters, and show the human impact from the struggle for power well. The second did the former a little better and the latter far better. This game should top it though. The major whing will come from PC diehards who will say this game is "dumbed down" gameplaywise.toast_burner

Really? I thought the first game had great characters and the second had much worse but with better voice acting. The dialogue in original Deus ex is some of the best ever.

Better voice acting =/= better characters

Honestly, this new protagonist in this trailer, destroys JC Denton in personality.

Great Trailer, but a great trailer doesn't always mean great game. Deus Ex 2 wasn't nearly as awesome as the first. I hope they can redeem themselves with this Deus Ex.

I do have one major complaint....WHERE IS MY THIEF 4 TRAILER!!?? :cry:

They're doing all the in-game cutscenes as well? God I hope they're nothing like Final Fantasy, the last thing I want to hear in a Deus Ex game, is the main character making all those little high-pitched "huh?"s and gasping noises, like some anime character :?.

In the second game everyone seemed so lifeless and lacked personality, they all jut looped the same dull conversations over and over.

also the character motivations were much worse in 2 because other then JC none of the characters talked much

You ever watch an anime (or Final Fantasy)? The characters almost constantly make little noises and gasps, it looks and sounds horrible, but some people (mostly people in Japan I guess) eat that **** up. Maybe that's how they actually act over there? I dunno...

Holy ****! That was the best prerendered video I've ever seen! If the game is anything like that at all it'll be the definition of epic.

This is the only acceptable use of the Batman voice outside of the movie.

[QUOTE="toast_burner"]

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"] Even Gamespot admits that in both games, the characters are not great.........while I do not think the characters of IW are great, they are an improvement over the original. The major problem was that the characters only existed to advance the plot, especially true for Chad Dumier, Morgan Everrett, and Nicolette Duclare. In fact two of those three characters truly come into their own in the sequel. The fellow trainees and Laila Nassif are far deeper and more human that the one note workers at UNATCO in the first. Klara Sparks especially. Also, the first game lacked any sort of dynamic characters, unlike the characters of the sequel. Klara Sparks once again, the most dynamic character in the series. Many characters have emotional reasons why they are doing what they are doing, and some, like the Nassif family, bring the series a more human element that the first game lacked. The highlight dialouge of the first game is definitely talking to the bartender in Hong Kong.

In Deus ex he would take his time to gloat (and show off the writers talent) then flood the base with gas. Walton Simons was better then any character in IW

As for the ending. In Deus ex I felt more like choosing what i would think is better for the world. In IW you just go with what faction you like the most. I liked the Helios ending more in IW but the rest were worse.

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"][QUOTE="toast_burner"]I disagree with most of what you said. The 3 characters you mentioned are my least favourite characters but in the second game you never heard conversations like this

I'm sorta hyped but then again it was a CGI trailer. I'll hold my final judgment until i see some gameplay.

But damn, if the gameplay captures the epicness of that trailer i'll be buying on release day.

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"]From Gamespot Deus Ex 1 review "Unfortunately, the game's mystery and intrigue are diminished by its lack of character development. Many characters in Deus Ex seem one-dimensional - their motivations are clearly put forth and are never really called into question. This makes many of Deus Ex's plot twists unsurprising and even predictable. For a game that evidently takes influence from modern authors like William S. Burroughs and Robert Anton Wilson, much of whose work is filled with a pervasive sense of disbelief, the plot and characters of Deus Ex seem too straightforward at times. "Arach666

The narration sounds like something out of Rorshach's Journal (Watchmen)

Although it's just cg... there is nothing for me to say except... I c***... SAGE_OF_FIRE

This is one of the best trailers ever it's wicked sick :shock:

I didn't play any of the old games but that really made me hyped up.

[QUOTE="SAGE_OF_FIRE"] You gotta at least play the first, deal with the first two missions because they are kinda bad but everything after is amazing. There are also some mods out there that improve the games visuals. SAGE_OF_FIRE

One thing I don't really understand is why are the augmentations so advanced in comparison to the original (keeping in mind yes there were nano augmentations in the first), despite it being a prequel?...

skrat_01

People should just forget about the whole prequel mentality to begin with. One of the reasons why I liked the first one over the sequel, was because it was more... um... down to earth. The futuristic universe was kept simple, this just seems like its blown wide open. That said, I'm highly interested, but I don't think the developers are losing much sleep when it comes to keeping the consistency of the Deus Ex universe.

I still don't see why science fiction stories in this day and age have to continue following the huge progression a decade from now mentality. I don't think we'll reach what is shown in the video 15 years from now, this whole view was cool 30 years ago but now? Not so much.

Above said, awesome video.

Well they couldn't say like "in year 2500", they had to properly place the game's time line before the firsts. SAGE_OF_FIRE

Yup, but that's essentially my point about the first one and in a way skrat_01 point also. Keeping the place of the game properly in the timeline is important, but so is the consistency of the universe. To be frank I don't mind it much, that's why I said(in a way) to forget about it in the first place and to just let the developers do their thing. But if you're trully keeping with the timeline of the other games, this game didn't necessarily have to be a prequel, nor did they have to exaggerate the hell out of it.

In the end though, that's what they decided to go with. Let's see what they will do with the franchise... hell, I'm curious.

brb cleaning my screen...

and changing my pants.

YESSSS.

Makes you wonder why they're even calling it a prequel. Is there any story ties to the other games?

jamejame

So far, not much to my knowledge; but to be frank, while I am interested in the game, I haven't been following it much. Perhaps someone here knows more about it.

I'd ditch the prequel thing altogether.

jamejame

That was somewhat along the lines of what I thought would be the best option for it. But it'll be fine, just as long as the fans in the series' don't complain too much. Like I said, I don't mind a bit of inconsistency, just as long as the developers to their best to give us the most kick ass experience possible.

I'm sure there will be, at the very least, references to the other games. Hopefully though, the best scenario is that your actions by the end are what might directly lead to some of the things in Deus Ex 1. We do know for sure though, that the mechanical augmentation aspect of the story plays a big part here and fittingly so within the timeline, so that is one thing they have down.

A good rundown on the new features of DX3. Sorry PC fans, this game will not be like the first....it will be different.
