I watched Deus Ex HR's credits and as many know you get the teaser video at the end featuring Bobert Page.
I was wondering, this seems like a big hint that Deus Ex will be remade. Considering the acclaim of HR it would seem that a sequel is inevitable and that perhaps the fourth ending is cannon actually..... Page says to Everett to continue going through the wreckage for technology to be used in the Morpheus Initiative, seems plausible.
As a big fan of the original i'm in two minds about this. Deus Ex was amazing because it was relatively grounded in our own culture and aesthetic viewpoint. HR was beautiful of course but Deus Ex captured the present in a sense, perhaps it was a lack of technology, but I think I agree with Harvey Smith on that one (you can find his thoughts on that on youtube). HR seemed very fantastic in a literal sense, Heng Sha is a prime example, it just seemed out of place. It reminded me of the projections people made towards the year 2000 from the 70's, technology has changed but our environment perhaps hasn't changed that fundamentally aesthetically.
This leads me to why I am apprehensive about a remake, Deus Ex had two amazing mechanics, lock picking and electronic hacking. Perhaps it's a redundancy in todays technology but for me it grounded the environment, again reinforcing that connection to the present, yes ridiculous at times but grounded all the same and accessible. Deus Ex was to me amazing because it took that grounding and went with it to a conclusion. The story was amazing too, emerging from a grounded reality into something fantastic at Area 51, plausible settings I think, thats subjective of course so I respect other people will have different viewpoints.
If they done a HD Remake I can see them cutting the story, changing it, essentially making it a re-visioning of Deus Ex. Maybe thats the only way a sequel could be made. It seemed like the original had more environmental depth and individiual granularity compared to HR.
I'm pretty sure that their will be a sequel to DX:HR and it will entail JC, but I think it would be quite different from what we remember it as.
