Trailers: Deus Ex: Human Revolution Gameplay Trailer

[firemark]

Well, I like the Halo series' singleplayer. But I heard I'm a rarity in that regard.

I enjoyed the feel of Halo, very polished. The thing I had issues with was the story. It wasn't too compelling, there were cliches and I realize that it's to be expected, so it wasn't a deal breaker by any means and I still enjoyed playing it. I am fine with a game having a rather linear storyline, similar to Halo and lack those RPG elements, as long as the story is good. I loved playing Fallout 3 and Bioshock using a first-person view, but they still had a little bit more of an RPG feel because of the character customization and freedom of choice. I'm not looking for a Borderlands or Rage (although I'm buying Rage the second it comes out). I'm looking for an FPS with a story that I can enjoy. But from what you describe, I'm gonna get it. Along with Crysis, Rage, etc.

Really hope it turns out to be a Deus Ex and not an Invisible war! Btw anyone alse think of Mass Effect when they watched this for some reason?

Future shooter? Who would've thought that would involve guns and technology.

But seriously, looks great except for the orange and his stupid Clint Eastwood voice.

Ow, you sure showed me, clever you. And come on, that voice is just the right amount of JC "gruff"! Gruff being the word I use cuz hurr durr peanuts

This is as much "Invisible War" as Bioshock was a "consoltard-ized System Shock 2"...
And Bioshock was an excellent game. This is going to the consoles, and consoles do not have a full keyboard at their disposal, so by nature this will be "simpler" than Dues Ex.

Looks like a lot more options than Invisible War had. I think the biggest problem Invisible War had was that it was on the original Xbox and they tossed out the epic levels of the first game for much more manageable levels on the console (the Serious Sam franchise did the same thing). I understand the PS2 port of the original Deus Ex featured those big epic levels... but broken into loadable sections, so you had frequent load times while moving around levels.

I'm a PC-to-console convert and consoles don't have the buttons to play with the more complex PC games... but the 14 buttons it does have is pretty close to my comfort level for PC hot keys. Games that required serious hot-keying (like Jedi Knight or Far Cry) often had me wishing that there was a much simplier scheme that could be used and I think consoles have done a pretty good job of providing a simpler scheme without sacrificing too much functionality.

And Deus Ex's controls... a bit too complicated in my opinion, especially the inventory system, which required constant attention because just about every guard carried cigarettes (an item I found no use for) which quickly cluttered up your inventory keeping you from picking up useful items. That and having to arrange to Tetris blocks in your inventory so your four blocks of space were in the right four-block shape to pick up an item. Bioshock had a pretty simple interface and had quite a lot of functionality.... and I won't criticize it for not matching the complexity of a game that it is not the sequel of. That it chose not to steal absolutely everything from a commercial unsuccessful game was a perfectly justifiable choice. It's still more complex that the vast majority of FPS games on any platform.

Oh god don't label it as a gameplay trailer when only half the trailer is composed of gameplay. What the fuck were they thinking? We know that there are takedowns shown in third-person, how many of those third person angle views were actually what the game looks like and how many were 'HEY LOOK HOW COOL OUR GAME IS'?

What little gameplay can be seen on this trailer does look very cool, though. BOX TO THE FACE

 

[Ragsnstitches]

I get the impression the options available to you in terms of getting through the game are more varied then Deus Ex 2 (not hard to do I'd say), but more refined and toned then Deus Ex. If this trailer represents the game well then the Devs have struck a good balance without making it another mind numbing shooter.

Again, story and character is all I really care about in this series, so I'm not disappointed as of now, but the gameplay seems to be going good which is a nice bonus.

I am not a Deus Ex fan as I don't have much experience with the series, but this looks cool. I'll probably get it if the story is any good. But as for multi-player, I'm going to stick with Halo and Gears of War, when it comes out.

It's single player only so no issues there

While not the most sensitive ways of putting it, this is how I see it. Good observation.

I would also like to point out that the advantage of having MOAR BUTTONZ! really amounted to nothing in Deus Ex (it ain't no space sim), so no loss there. I'd say the simplification would be more to do with regenerating health (could be good or bad) and autosaving (which is more or less standard now). Not much to complain about there.

 

[Lono Shrugged]

Ohh lots of menus


nice....

 

[w00tage]

eh, looks as over the top as The Force Unleashed Comparing it to Deus Ex where you could be any 1 kind of awesome at the expense of all of the others, so your choices impacted how you had to play (and made it an actual RPG).

/meh

 

[WarpGhost]

I'm cautiously optimistic about this game, from the quality of vision of the trailers, the looks of the gameplay, and the additional info I've gleaned on the developer's thinking. Combat doesn't look as 'plasticky' as the original, but Im keen to see more of the stealth/charm mechanics. The best thing about Deus Ex 1 was the way there was always 3 ways to do almost every portion of the game; here's to hoping they match or exceed that aspect! Even years later I was still finding new stuff. Even after ~12 playthroughs I still expect there's a bunch of stuff I've never found yet.

 

[Diplodocus462]

I wonder if it will be possible to get through this Deus Ex without killing anyone? The trailer didn't exactly indicate that that was an encouraged option.

 

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

Really hope it turns out to be a Deus Ex and not an Invisible war! Btw anyone alse think of Mass Effect when they watched this for some reason?

Every time I look at the new Deus Ex game, I get that feeling. I probably should make the point that that's a good thing.

Hell, this is what Mass Effect should be (combat wise).

 

[Daedalus1942]

I was one of the few that actually enjoyed Invisible war, and i am soooo sick of people whingeing about the smallest fucking things in that game. It continued the story (very well, might I add).
Quit your bitching, it was a great game. I swear sometimes it's almost like all you fanboys just jump on the bus "everybody hates this game, so I have to hate it too to look cool"
I don't give a shit what anyone thinks. For it's time Deus Ex: Invisible War was still a great game. It wasn't as good as the first, so what? Sequels rarely are. deal with it
This new one looks even better and I can not wait.

It would be interesting to see how many of you people bitching about IW have actually played the damn game. I would imagine not many...
It's still alot of fun.

That's probably how it will work in this game too, they can't show just one play style in the trailer though.

Anyway... I think this looks pretty good, I played the PS2 version of the original Deus Ex and the lack of a keyboard didn't really have that much affect apart from having to open up your inventory a lot more due to having less hotkeys. Looks like they've added a weapon wheel thats pauses the game, so it should be fine.

Oh god... The PS2 port of Deus Ex was horrible. They made hacking so much easier, and the overall difficulty of tasks was severely reduced for the console version.
You really should play the PC version. Trust me.

I thought this game was singleplayer-only.

Well then I know I'm going to get it in hopes of actually enjoying an FPS without a bunch of people telling me I should play online. Thanks for the heads up! Like I said, I'm new to the franchise. I'm still waiting for a single-player FPS that has a decent story. I want to scrape the crap encrusted in my memory caused by all of the Call of Duty series I've played off to make room for something decent.

Yeah... umm if you're using Halo and Gears of War as your point of reference for what this game will be like, I would suggest you don't buy it.
It's an RPG at it's core, like the first game with FPS elements.
Don't expect it to just be run and gun.
You may still enjoy it, but If you expect to play it like any other FPS you may have played, you will be sorely disappointed in this game.

You must be watching a different trailer than this one. Excluding the initial shots of the city and the quick cuts of guards moving/shooting, that was quite clearly all gameplay.

Deus Ex, despite having a great many flaws, was interesting enough to keep me engaged for three (non-consecutive) play-throughs.
Invisible War was too boring to keep me engaged for one. I never finished it.

Well, I'm glad you have at least played it.
It's a shame. the story alone kept me playing and i'll concede it wasn't as good as the first one, but it wasn't a horrible game (as so many people make it out to be).
Kudos on giving the game a chance though.
