Regenerating health is absolutely despicable. But who said Deus Ex 3 is gonna have that?

One of the producers said that during an interview. They decided to use Regen Health instead of Med Kits because in previous games, they said players had difficulty trying to reach the end of levels with low health and there was no way of recovering the health without backtracking and searching the area for Med Kits. So that's why Eidos decided to overcome that issue by using Regen Health.

lol that's a pathetic excuse. It's almost like claiming that having health packs could never work in a game!

Backtracking, searching bla bla bla... just re-design the game then. If health packs work fine in other games they can make it work in Deus Ex 3 too. 

Btw, it surprises me that they've gone into discussing such "minor" design choices publicly. I mean there aren't even gameplay footage or much details at all out for this game yet.

Yeh it's not like Health Packs doesn't work in other games. Maybe they also thought that it would be safer for them to use Regen Health since most FPS these days use Regen Health like COD and since Deus Ex is an FPS as well, they proabably thought it's be best to use it.

I think this was discussed mainly because many people apparently had issues with the Health Packs in previous games and so the interviewer must've asked in place of the fans whether they changed the Health Packs mechanics or not. Other than that, beats me why they would discuss all this without showing us the gameplay we want to see!
