Your example of a Deus Ex sequel being a racing game is silly as it's going for the extreme.
No more extreme than turning a turn-based traditional RPG into a first person shooter.
Bethesda seems to think that what made Fallout great was it's atmosphere, story and setting; gameplay, in their opinion, was completely irrelevant to making Fallout a great game. Their Fallout 3 reflects that belief: they have completely jettisoned the gameplay that existed in the first two while keeping the setting. From what they've released so far it sounds like even their vision of the "Fallout Atmosphere" consists solely of taking a generic post-apocalypse setting, slapping on some anachronistic '50s iconography where it doesn't fit and then mixing in some toilet humor for good measure (you drink from toilets and eat corpses for christ's sake).
But even if it did happen I'd probably be interested IF it was a damn good racing game.
Would you be interested if it meant that you never saw another Deus Ex sequel because a FPS-RPG hybrid is "so outdated" and racing represents the new direction of the Deus Ex franchise? I wouldn't, and that's why I'm upset about Fallout 3. Even if Fallout 3, like Deus Ex Street Racer, turns out to be an outstanding game it won't play anything like the games I fell in love with to begin with.
Thing is, comparing a sequel TOO MUCH to the original, IMO, places far too much pressure on the sequel to, in effect, be the 'be all, end all' of a series.
I didn't realize asking a sequel to be in the same genre as it's predecessor was asking "TOO MUCH".
