God, why the discussion? Anyone who is anything but scathingly, condesescendingly disgusted with the very notion of this 'deus ex 3': Hand in your keyboard, you're not a real gamer. And you didn't play Deus Ex.
"We respect the universe, but we've got a new character, a new conspiracy and a new timeline. So, this is kind of a reboot, and it's a standalone title."
"...will be a primarily cover-based shooter...with regenerating health..."
"...will be identical across all three platforms..."
Choice quotes from the developers, who I am glad dropped the Ion Storm in their name. They really do not deserve it.
This game is going to suck. They may have had legal rights to the Deus Ex name, but my goodness they have no ethical right to it.
