NowGamer - With Deus Ex: Human Revolution out this week, we look at how the original Deus Ex changed games forever
Nightdive would "love to remaster" Deus Ex, among a few other games. How can we make this happen.
Hanzala from eXputer says, "After multiple delays, cancellations, and ownership changes, the misfortune of Deus Ex continues; this gem of a series deserves better."
One can only hope at this point Embracer will need to generate an influx of cash flow, and what better way to do so than to sell off some of its IPs... namely Deus Ex, to a competent and talented studio capable of delivering a game noteworthy of the name in future. And thinking about it further, I don't know why Embracer would sit on the IP vs sell it if it means staying in business or not.
Some games endure despite the average player wishing they could skip that first hour - here are five annoying video game openings in otherwise classic titles.
I liked the Red Dead 2 opening, certainly didn’t feel like a slog to me, but I enjoyed that whole game so for those who were just expecting ‘GTA but with cowboys’, that was probably not the opening they expected, and Red Dead 2 wasn’t the game they were hoping for …
First game that came to mind when I read the title, was Watch Dogs 2, because you’re expecting an open world sandbox game in sunny colorful San Francisco, and instead that opening has you crawling and sneaking around an incredibly boring office building …
Watch Dogs 2 is a decent game but not really a classic. The opening is awful though. You got that right.
I loved the RDR 2 opening hours the first time but going back to restart it is where the rub lies for me.
Yeah, I agree it’s not a classic, but it was the first game I thought of where I really thought; Why would you make that design choice!? If you’re gonna do a thing like that in order to teach the player some basic sneaking controls, at least make the location a bit more interesting, like an abandoned theme park or gorgeous temple or whatever, but now the gameplay was restrictive and boring, but also the location itself.
@Yi-Long Definitely true re the worst possible choices being made for the opener of Watch Dogs 2. I did enjoy WD2 overall but that intro is baffling :-D
A solid article from NowGamer. Nice.
Good piece, love Deus Ex.
People need to go back to this game and really look at the plot, dialogue, and pictures around the game (keeping the date and events of 9/11 in mind).
I hate the way people think ME is god's gift when they havn't played DX.
I hate the way people think Bioshock is the shit, "Wah this is like the first fps WITH RPG THINGS! WOW" - when they havn't even heard of System Shock.
I hate the way people say "I've played Fallout, have you played Fallout?" - When they really mean they've played Fallout 3. Like the 3 is just there for show...
I can't wait for Friday. Hopefully a propper good game. I'm ready for you HR. Smite me.
