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.

My expectations from playing Thief may have set my standards too high though. How so? Shouldn't a game released in 2009/2010 be able to, at the very least, match the standards set by a game released a decade ago? DX1 may have had lousy AI but the stealth mechanics themselves were solid. DX3 seems to be taking the mentality of "Oh, having to think about sound and light is much too complicated. Let's just make it so players only have to worry about staying out of an enemy's line of sight!" Now, it's possible that light and sound still factor into the AI's awareness, but that contradicts the preview's statement of "Stealth is also receiving a major revamp and will now utilise cover rather than shadow as its primary function..." Hiding behind cover is Stealth 101 and represents the most basic concept of being stealthy. If the stealth system now focuses primarily on this very simple concept, that does not bode well.
