Maybe if the "alternate routes" weren't so goddamn obvious...sems like a poor mans Hitman, at least that game you had to play through a few times to find all the ways to do it. Also, i'm not feeling the 1st person view...ZombieGenesis said:

Oh my GOD is that lady boring. I didn't think anyone could suck the fun out of a new trailer for Deus Ex but square found a way. She pointed out the most blatantly obvious things about the gameplay that I'm a little worried that she is involved at all with the production. She doesn't seem like a gamer and that could translate to lack-luster parts of the game. I am REALLY hope I'm wrong 
OT:
It's about what I expected from a first level. However, I do agree with a lot of the previous posters saying the graphics could be better, especially since square usually focuses too much on making their games look good. Hey maybe this means they're finally learning their lesson and will start giving us intuitive gameplay in their next-gen games.
... and maybe Yahtzee will magically appear in my apartment so I can engage him in an intellectual conversation on why he likes Branston Pickles so much.

They were all browned up to make them "realistic", and sadly Deus Ex designers were in the same coloring book class, even the bloody lights are brown.ultrachicken said:
You know I DID also think the first person view was kind of off... it doesn't feel like you've entered a first person view at all from what I can see- seems like the first person view of a car instead of a human being.gyroscopeboy said:
I know I'm picking at the trailer here, but I still like the idea of the game, I just feel that such problems should be mentioned.
Nice to see everyone judging the entire game based on what is essentially the tutorial.
Sure it doesn't look mindblowingly impressive, but seriously? You do realize this wasn't a full game Lets Play, right?

Well, my initial response to this trailer is.....
WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT *pause for breath* WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT.
Of course, this is assuming that the rest of the game holds up. No sign of conversations, limited inventory management...all we saw was a single ammo pickup. Hows the hacking? what are the mods? whats the story like? naturally, most of this I'd rather find out by playing.
The whole yellow outline thing....hmmm, maybe. Its nice on pickups (especially the more obscure ones) but having it on EVERY interactive object is a bit much...especially on the ladder you are currently climbing.

This may seem like nitpicking but the moment you press the button for the takedown, the screen blacks out for half a second. Is that a loading screen? Because if so: Dude, Wtf?
I wish it was more flexible. Right now the game seems to perfectly purvey the feeling of flexibility whilst only offering you 3 very rigid paths.
Also, they should make Combat ridiculously difficult to encourage stealth play. Because right now, I see no reason to not go guns blazing. This aspect literally broke Splinter Cell: conviction(I'm referring to the fact that you could auto-kill an enemy 2 miles away, hiding behind cover) SO they should be more careful.
And lastly: Why don't they add a cone of sight? To indicate where the bad guys are watching? Like in the old Commandos games? Making that visible would increase the Stealth game tension significantly I think......

Even the original Deus Ex had very similar mechanics and gameplay so I don't see what all the complaints are about. "If it ain't broke - don't fix it" - and Squeenix seems to have taken that saying to heart by the looks of the video.
They made the lethal/non lethal takedowns far more satisfying, and presumably someone in HQ will be grinding gears / singing praise at you for taking one of those options.
While some folks aren't impressed by the myriad of routes through a level, it's not much different from the original game. The only difference being is that this one looks far more polished and smoother than the original, and with any luck better acted.
No-one is forcing the complainers to buy it or even play it. If they buy it and don't like it - just exchange it for another game or replay the orginal and let that be their defining experience of the Deus Ex world.
