Computer
and Video Games offers the promised ( story) first detail on
Deus Ex 3, as the shooter/RPG sequel is previewed in the 200th issue of
print magazine PC Zone, which has begun reaching subscribers in advance of its
release on newsstands this Thursday. The game is under construction at Eidos
Montreal with Deus Ex writer Sheldon Pacotti consulting on the project, and
while Harvey Smith and Warren Spector are not involved, word is it has their
"blessing." According to the article, Eidos Montreal is aware of complaints
about Deus Ex: Invisible War, promising to redress "mistakes" like ammo
type limitations. On the other hand, changes are described that further depart
from Deus Ex canon, and make the project sound more like Gears of War, including combat relying more on player aim than stats, a cover system for
stealth (rather than skulking in shadows), and an auto-healing system for
damage. Thanks Jonas.

For the love of god, there was nothing wrong with Invisible War. While it wasn't the ideal sequel to the original, it was still a really good game taken on its own.
While I agree that it was much better than the Deus Ex hardcore faithful would have you believe, it was nowhere near as good as a sequel to Deus Ex should have been. The reasons for that are obvious - dilution of meaningful choice and over-simplification to appeal to the mainstream.
I understand that Warren Specter wanted the sequel to sell better than the first, so he felt he needed to make some radical changes, but the resulting game felt more like Deus Ex Lite. The spirit of the original was lost in translation. With the description of Deus Ex 3, this game won't even be a diluted Deus Ex; it will be Deus Ex in name only. While it makes me a bit sad, what makes me far sadder is that a game like the original Deus Ex sold so poorly while mindless disposable games like Gears of War top the sales charts. |
