Square: Impossible to please everyone with new Deus Ex

Eidos Montreal's Deus Ex: Human Revolution is following such a milestone in the history of video games that no matter what the dev team does, people will inevitably be disappointed to some extent.

Asked by VideoGamer.com if the game will live up to its huge expectations, communication and marketing director Sebastien Bisch said: "That's a tricky one. The marketing guy in me can tell you the risk when you're continuing a franchise what was such a milestone in the history of video games is that, pretty much whatever you do, you disappoint people to some extent."

how about just trying to please....the long time fans of this series instead

Inside_out5769d ago (Edited 5769d ago )

How about releasing a in game trailer. the CGI stuff will only create unreachable expectations. Has no one learned anything after the KZ 2 debacle...lol. The trailer looked awesome, one of the best I've seen. The game will look nowhere near that.

Whether you like it or not KZ2 looked as good as the cgi trailer. Play the game and if you still don't realise that then go to the optician or the psychiatrist(denial)

HolyOrangeCows5769d ago (Edited 5769d ago )

Killzone 2 ended up looking almost exactly as good as the early CGI trailers, if not better.

But I can see from your comments history that you're just in troll-mode, crying about Uncharted 2, Killzone, GT5, and a bunch of other games you'll never play.

Console limitations. Mainstreamed for the young and dumb shooter crowd. Take your pick.

gillri5769d ago

I loved all I have seen of Deus Ex : HR, but the main character looks to streamlined and well........cool, they need to change the design a bit

big fan of the first one on PC I hope to pick this up for the 360 or PS3 when it comes out

Colonel-Killzone5769d ago (Edited 5769d ago )

Its impossible to please everyone on any game. With Love comes Hate.

Bloodyghost5769d ago

I am very interested in this one, I have not played a single Deus Ex game but this one looks promising.

Zinc5769d ago

True. However, they can simply make it true to the original, which will not only satisfy most of the long-time fans (baring the stubborn ones), but it will also please newcomers, as well. Because, the newcomers will be just as enthralled by the story and gameplay as we all were back in the day. It's a win-win...mostly. Obviously, gameplay elements and mechanics have changed slightly and storytelling devices have matured, along with the tools and engines used to tell them. But, you can certainly take what was great in the original and translate that into a contemporary game title.

(I want to preface this by stating I don't think they are making it a straight shooter, just using that as an example)

Deus Ex was not a straight shooter... it just wasn't. So, if you make it like that, you are making it wrong. Why continue a property and change it to the point that it doesn't make sense anymore?

You might as well make a new IP.

Typical Square Talk: "We don't know what we're doing, so take what you get. We know you won't like it, but you can't prove no one else does."

MaideninBlack5769d ago

People buy games because of the popular name slapped on the box nowadays anyway.

The og deus ex is magical. Im also very exited about mass effect legendary edition from the gp. Its next on my playlist never played mass effect game before.

IamTylerDurden11111d ago (Edited 1111d ago )

Never played ME? It's imo the greatest trilogy of all-time and perhaps the best setting outside maybe Fallout. Play it. Great DLC as well. In 2 & 3 at least. Skip Andromeda. Also, Human Revolution was great as well even if OG fans claim otherwise.

shinoff21831111d ago

Mass effect 1 was great. I feel they dumbed down alot on the 2nd one and seemed more action like. Mass effect 1 the citadel was an explorable city. Far as I got in Mass effect 2 it was reduced to a location list no traveling through it. I disliked it alot(the citadel) part. I also feel they went more action oriented then rpg

just_looken1110d ago

It always makes me mad when you see something you have done in the first mass effect or dragon age can make something change in the 3rd because bioware make 6 games in what 8 years? that did this but today 0 games do this.

I wish we had trilogies today were we can share saves and have multiple endings/path's on all 3 because of choices from anyone of them.

Its so funny being the bad sheparad from one to 3 then the end having just you and joker ha ha yet everyone is like hey your a hero with a 90% casualty rate.

CBaoth1110d ago

Fallout can't hold Mass Effect's jockstrap. The one Fallout even in the ballpark is 3, and that's only because the DLC was extremely good. When Ken Rolston was in Bethesda's employment were they good. That's about it. They're now the world's greatest copy/paste developer out there. Bioware at their pinnacle was ten times better a studio than Todd's team. Go look up the games

IamTylerDurden11110d ago

Mass Effect is my favorite, followed by 2 and 3. Yes, ME2 was dumbed down but also refined in terms of polish and accessibility. ME2 had an awesome story, great DLC, and a solid cast. Mordin in particular. It's a great game. Even 3 which was the weakest was still solid imo despite the ending. If u love ME how do u not enjoy all 3?

Fallout is not a better game though FO3 was great. In terms of setting though Fallout is Mt Rushmore. The 50's post apoc setting was brbrilliant. I still put ME setting n lore above but FO is up there with setting.

Man play mass effect, best games ever

Miraak82 1111d ago

Xenogears is my fav sci fi rpg

closed_account1110d ago

Right? There's a serious lack of classics on this list.

The original 2 Star Oceans. Rogue Galaxy...

IamTylerDurden11110d ago

Rogue Galaxy never got that critical love. Beautiful PS2 game. Was it L5?

closed_account1109d ago

@IamTylerDurden1 Yep, Level5. Love their stuff. Dark Cloud 3 please...

Godmars2901111d ago

Why aren't there more? A Star Trek RPG for one. Or something with non humanoid aliens?

shinoff21831111d ago

Cause for some damn reason medieval is more popular ugghhh. I'd take some sci fi sh anyway over it. I've said time and time again I hope the elden guys are working on a sci fi type game.

Godmars2901111d ago (Edited 1111d ago )

Something non-post apocalypse or dystopian. Just world saving. Fighting bad guys while doing good and dealing with ethical/moral/psychological quandaries.

sadraiden1110d ago

The reason why fantasy RPGs, and Fantasy as a genre, are more popular than Sci-Fi, is because of the low technology/high magic tropes. If all of your problems can be solved with looking up the answer on a smartphone, well, there's just lower stakes than if a character has to have a sword fight, and climb the tower, and rescue the fair princess and recite the ancient incantation to seal the evil.

Obviously you can have universe ending stakes in Sci-Fi, but that requires abstract reasoning, and an ability to RP in a way that is progressive instead of regressive. Couple that with Sci-Fi games and media generally being faster paced, and you've got a genre that attracts a very specific demographic of gamers.

just_looken1110d ago

or go crazy and make a starship troopers rpg can you survive the bug fight?

The animated show was great showed what someone can do with the lore.

Fist4achin1110d ago

A Starship Troopers game as a real time strategy like the command and conquer series would be awesome.

just_looken1109d ago

@fist

We have that today but its a small team with a smal budget
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Its not a major rts sadly but a start

jznrpg1111d ago

I really hope Naughty Dog is doing a Sci-Fi game. As a lover all most things RPG I would love to see Naughty Dog quality in an RPG.

porkChop1111d ago

They could do some really great stuff with sci-fi. The sense of grand adventure of Uncharted, but also with the stealth and crafting of The Last of Us. Different planets, creative alien races, collecting junk to craft repairs and upgrades for your ship and weapons, etc.

shinoff21831111d ago

Porkchop

Your getting me excited for something that doesn't exist. Damn

shinoff21831111d ago

He'll yea , hope we here something about that if they are. I'm not to worried about factions at all

just_looken1110d ago

If it was the old naughty dog i would want that the new naughty dog no thanks.

IamTylerDurden11110d ago (Edited 1110d ago )

TLOU2 is the finest game ND has made. U4 was fantastic. New ND is a more impressive ND. I don't rate Crash n Jak like i do Uncharted and TLOU. Even Uncharted 1 and 3 were not as well crafted as TLOU, TLOU2, U4 imo. Idc if ppl troll TLOU2, most ppl are clueless, that game was incredibly impressive.

TLOU2 combat, visuals, and acting were the best of the genre. I found the story deeper and more profound than most but it's subjective. The level design was excellent also. The score. Audio. Animation. It was a masterpiece to me. The rope physics, detail. TLOU2 deserved Elden Ring scores and ER deserved TLOU2 scores. If any game deserved 97 in recent years it's TLOU2. Best game i ever played and if ppl come with Abby bs i already know it's not worth it. Those who call TLOU2 trash are foolish. Just look at it running...

I'm sure R* knows the Nintendo Switch install base and probably dont really care to port over more R* games to the Nintendo Switch tho i gotta say playing GTA4 & RDR1 on the go on the Nintendo Switch would be dope

Knightofelemia1409d ago

I would buy Lollipop Chainsaw, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved, Splatter House, Brutal Legends, Dante's Inferno, and Dead Space for sure if they were ported to the Switch.

InklingGirl1409d ago

Same, great group of titles.

Mobis-New-Nest1409d ago

Deus Ex Human Revolution would be a great title to The Holy Grail of All Consoles aka The Nintendo Switch*. Also Haze Remastered, Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5 Remastered, Silent Hill HD Collection, Max Payne 3 Remastered, Call of Duty World At War Remastered, The Orange Box Remastered, Halo Master Chief Collection, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 Remastered, Metal Gear Solid 4 Remastered, Afro Samurai Remastered, Demons Souls Remastered, Xmen Destiny Remastered, Jack and Daxter Collection, Def Jam Icon Remake, Folklore Remastered, Spiderman Edge of Time Remastered, Persona 5 remastered, the list goes on. (*Best Selling Console of All Time)

MontyeKristo1409d ago (Edited 1409d ago )

Can we just get a Bully 2? 😒

iplay1up21409d ago

Seriously? Isn't it time Nintendo make a Switch successor? I mean they have the sales and money.
