Could anyone give sone pointers on Deus Ex?

I have never played the games.

I thought it was an FPS only.

It has an open-world?

If Deus Ex is to FPS as Microsoft Office is to a computer.

Sure, FPS is a part of it, but there is much more.

Ok, but my question was what is this "much more"?

IS it really open orld? Are there RPG elements? Platforming? Puzzles? Choices in dialogues?

Deus Ex is in the first place a first person RPG, but you really can play it the way you like. Sneaking, Action, Hacking and Social Interaction are the four pillars the game is built on and you can specialize in one or use them all.

The special thing is the augmentation of the body, so basically you improve whatever you want about your body to say improve hacking or become stronger or even invisible.

It's not really open world, but very close (it's definitely not linear at all) and what we've seen from Human Revolution the cities will be huge and very interactive.

Cool. I wasnt paying much attention to this game cause I thought it was just an FPS and I havent played the previous ones.

I will try to find out about it more now,lol.

The first Deus Ex is one of the (if not the) best RPGs of all time and it's very cheap. I wouldn't try out the second one, it's much worse than the first, until you tried out the first.

Human Revolution will take place 25 years before the events of the first game, so you don't have to play the first games to understand the story.

It's kinda funny that Square Enix seems to have more exciting wrpgs (Deus ex and Dungeon Siege) than they have jrpgs for this year.

Deus Ex was an FPS/RPG hybrid which supported emergent gameplay - i.e. you were tasked with doing something and there were multiple ways to do it, from running in shooting to sneaking in to hacking in and so on.

It had dialogue trees and multiple endings and you can see its - watered down - DNA in Bioshock, Mass Effect and many other titles, including it's own watered down sequel.

It won awards like Uncharted 2 but never found the sales to match - yes, one of those games.

Arguably one of the most influential titles on modern hybrid genre games.

It wasn't open world, being based around - fairly large - levels - but you could traverse back and forth in many levels giving a strong feel of an open world - for example one level might be a few city blocks in New York with bars, etc. you could enter, talk to people, find clues, etc. then leave.

I still think it struck a better balance between the feel of freedom with enough direction to give the plot momentum than most modern games - in a sense it often felt like it had the best of open world games without the pitfalls and the best of level based linear games without the pitfalls.

It's the Blade Runner of games and just like that film everyone who didn't support it at the time should hang their head in dim witted shame!

Short version - it's very good, so let's hope this "re-imagining" captures the magic with modern level mechanics and graphics.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

that sounds great! , coincindetly and I'm playing it right now , the first i mean  , here is something for nostalgia (and i know you are going to reinstall the game after you hear this like i did),

 

 

a bit offtopic , last time i played it, my screen wasn't that huge , now the text is small very small! , does anyone know a workaround for the small text besides lowering the resolution?
