Whoa... didn't even know there was one in the making :p. I thought after that ultra lame DX2, the franchise was dead. Hope this one lives up to the bars set by the first game.

Re: Deus Ex 3

Have to say that the new stats system doesn't bother me that much. Combat wasn't one of DX's strong points anyway.
But the auto-heal will need to be off-set by some really clever gameplay mechanics. Because combined with the stats independant combat, it could be game breaking.

Re: [IGN] Deus Ex 3 Details Emerge

Are dumbed-down console-friendly controls and HUD included for free, like they were with DX2? That game was so pathetic it wasn't funny.

I still enjoy firing up the original, inspite of the fact that the textures don't look so good at >1280x res. I don't think we'll ever have a game quite like that anymore - but one hopes.

Re: Deus Ex 3 Details Emerge

DX3 will be another disappointment. The 'nexgen' isn't ready for a true Deus Ex experience.

Re: Deus Ex 3 Details Emerge

I'm expecting another DX2 rehash in a different package considering the fact that even this one will be dumbed down for consoles. I pray that I'm wrong :p.

The original is permanently there on my hard drive and shall never be deleted.
