I was never really bugged by over-simplification. As long as it retains the feel of previous Deus Ex titles (which judging from most of the footage - it does), I'm happy.

Which previous title? The godly one or the bucket of shit? Because the last gameplay they showed really reminded me of the latter.

OT: GOod to hear about the highlighting. I don't know why it's even being put in place, but I guess with stupid people playing games now they need all the help they can get. Now if they can remove that retarded cover system and regenerating health (add it in as an augmentation like the first one, and if you remember it was too slow to be too useful in fights themselves). all will be back on track.

Sigh. Why can't someone just make a pre-2001 shooter with better physics and graphics?

The FPS genre has been completely fucked by consoles. Now everything is geared for the lowest common denominator, which appears to be a mentally stilted 9 year old with a caffeine addition.

Challenge us, developers. Please. No more regen health, arrows pointing toward our goal, unlimited weapon/ammunition, highlighted "use" objects, or any of that nonsense. Make the game HARD, for fuck's sake. And no, I don't just mean make every enemy take 45 rounds to drop. That's not fun, either. Shooters should be a healthy blend of talent and smarts. That's why they became popular in the first place and why multi-player games have dominated the genre. The more you dumb down the game, the more people will chase after a human opponent, the only thing left that challenges them.
