(Already posted in other thread, but figure I should stick it in what will probably become the main one) Well, I'm glad to see they're putting out another one, though a little less excited at the focus on GUNZ that appears to be going on in these screenshots.

A bit early to start worrying, surely you understand that screenshots of people talking aren't marketable.

Oh, I know that, but I like to set my expectations low.

I'm sure that you, as a fellow veteran of THI4F and Absolution, can understand :(

Yes of course, but this is a follow-up to a fairly recent game being made (I assume) by the same team. I liked the previous game apart from the aforementioned bosses and the lack of variety in your final build. If they do the same but prettier and fix those two issues, I'll be very happy indeed. THIAF and Abomination were ill-advised 'modern' (read: stupid and juvenile) reinterpretations of gameplay formulas that were already perfect. I think I can afford to be optimistic. Again.

Interesting that they're following on with the same protagonist unlike, you know, all the other Deus Ex games. We can look forward to more gravelly voiced introspection then. I loved Human Revolution, would love more of the same with some of the kinks ironed out (better bosses, less air ducts), but set in a world where augmentations are becoming increasingly commonplace and more advanced. I assume they'll just make one of the totally pointless 'decisions' we had to make at the end canon.

Not sure how much it affected development but that leak they had prior to release got some serious feedback from players to the point they allowed it on their discussion boards. It was what made me buy it day 1 rather than wait and see, Wonder if they would have turned it into a shitshow had it not got such positive buzz.

Game Informer blurb:

The original Deus Ex is one of the most critically acclaimed shooter/RPG hybrids of all-time. In 2011, Eidos-Montreal resurrected the dormant franchise with Human Revolution, giving the series an updated look while remaining true to the player choice-driven gameplay. Eidos-Montreal knew its game wasnt perfect, and has worked to improve the series' combat systems and boss encounters for the latest entry in the series Mankind Divided.

Set in 2029, two years after the events of Human Revolution, Adam Jensen returns and joins forces with an Interpol-funded task force aiming to hunt down and capture augmented terrorists in a world that now hates and fears transhumans. Jensen has a new suite of augmentations that allow him to cleverly navigate stealth, combat, and social interactions, but how Jensen chooses to solve every problem is entirely up to you.

At the end of Human Revolution, the Illuminati caused every transhuman to go into a fight-or-flight response and attack anyone near them. In the next issue of Game Informer, you can find out how this event caused humanity to hate and fear those with augmentations. We spent two days in Eidos-Montreal's studio, talking with the team and learning about how they build a realistic future. We go in depth on some of Jensen's new augmentations that help improve the stealth and combat systems, such as the ability to remote hack electronic objects, fire off his nano blade from a distance, and surround himself with a nearly indestructible nanoshield. We also got some great examples on how the game will be as open ended as ever, allowing players to carve their own path through the world. You can only get these details in the latest issue of Game Informer.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided doesn't yet have a release date, but it's headed to PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

I absolutely adored Human Revolution. Loved what it was trying to do despite a few big missteps. As much as I'd love it if they went back to more of what made the original such a a classic, just more of HR would be enough to keep me happy.

This is the best news. I loved HR. The 360 degrees body shotgun, the throwing of fire extinguishers from rooftops to murder hobos, the 6 foot 7ish robot man half made of metal sneaking around in vents like a small child. Loved it.

DE:HR was the very best we were going to get, in an era over-saturated with shooters. Maybe that sounds like I didn't love it, but it just means that I can forgive its many flaws.

I replayed it last year with the developer commentary, and it was clearly made by a team who really wanted to make it work. I think they succeeded, and I'm looking forward to seeing where they take the series next. I don't care so much if there's a focus on tricking out guns as long as I can stick a laser sight on my tranquilizer crossbow.
