As someone who played and loved the first Deus Ex, I'm fairly impressed by this.
Looks like they've smoothed out a lot of the clunky parts (I will not miss needing to switch to a melee weapon and PRAY that I KO the guy in one hit, plus the third person cover looks handy as all hell, especially with no quicksave to abuse the heck out of.), and the game still looks damn hard (2 bullets take you down to half health, and you don't insta-regen it?! Sweet!).
For the first 5 minutes of gameplay, I think it's promising. Still gonna wait for more info/gameplay before I actually decide to pre-order it.

I hope the game takes more thinking than that.
To be fair, the first game's opening level was pretty dull too. At least now the question "do I go in the front or back or this easily breached first level facility?" is resolved in a matter of minutes, rather than asking you to dodge tons of easy patrols (to go in by the back), or having to go all the way across the map to get a key, and THEN bust in the front.
