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 talented modder is creating an HD iteration of the classic Dues Ex (2000) experience in Unreal Engine 5. A new video reveals more details.
Cease and Desist DMCA imminent. All these fan projects get killed because they can't wait to show it off before it's complete.
Finish the mod/game then show it off and release it. If you announce it early then it can get taken down.
All of these are good to excellent games, could easily recommend any of them.
A lot of these are only comparable because they're action RPG's. They don't share much else with Deus Ex, especially the original. System Shock 1 and 2 are the closest you're going to get but neither offer the extreme freedom of Deus Ex. Glad to see Vampire The Masquerade on there but sad to see Fallout 2 missing.
Unless you're just talking about the subject matter. In which case, good list! Might want to add Project Eden to it.
Another really great couple of titles not on this list are No One Lives Forever 1 and 2. The games feature very similar ideas and a pretty diverse set of options for how you want to approach the gameplay portion.
Out of this list though, I'd have to agree with ifritAlkhemyst, the majority of games listed aren't really comparable to the Deus Ex series unless you're just going for general themes. In my opinion, Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, System Shock 2, and to a lesser extent Dishonored and/or Thief are the only ones listed that really make sense and work as a comparison, but to each their own. I'd add No One Lives Forever 2 to the list as well though.
