Deus Ex was "Kinda Slow" Says Deus Ex 3 Dev

Edge writes: "Deus Ex 3 lead game designer Jean-Francois Dugas has been telling Edge about how the game will differentiate from its predecessors.

In an interview with Edge magazine, published tomorrow, Dugas says the original Deus Ex was "kind of slow". He added, "There weren't enough exciting, memorable moments. It was aimed more towards a simulation rather than a game experience.'"

FAIL FAIL FAIL

One of the best things about Deus-Ex was the localised damage. The other thing was the multiple storylines.

Deus-Ex 2 ruined the game by introducing "Universal Ammo" - lame - stripping the game of its localised damage and allowing you to change story path right at the end of the game, no matter what you'd done up to that point.

The next game is going to turn into a generic shooter it seems.

Captain Tuttle5815d ago

That headline isn't a good sign of this game's direction.

morganfell5815d ago

Absolutely agree. They seem to love ruining these vaunted titles. Sometimes the way they rape these classic games is every bit as bad as Hollywood thinking every movie needs a remake. If you can't properly pay homage to a classic then leave it the hell alone. JC is probably rolling over in his grave right now.

Oh yeah speaking of Hollywood remakes this reminds me EXACTLY of a film they remade - The Italian Job.

The original film was a British comedy - it was an hillarious "that'll never work" type film. There was something about the humour that really appealed to me. It had its little quirks everywhere and it's different from most films out there.

Then they remade it. Most of the film didn't even take place in Italy, there was a really serious tone to the film, they threw in love interests and such, and focused on the action. Forgetting what made the original film great, they just thought they'd add in a Mini chase so they could name it after the original film. It was awful.

Deus Ex was a fantastic, original game that had its little quirks everywhere making it different from most games out there.

Deus Ex 3 will focus on the action, forgetting what made the original game great, and will keep a couple of the characters and features so that they can name it after the original game. It's going to be awful.

Here's hoping not, though.

Eidos has killed one of the greatest games of all time.

Hellsvacancy5815d ago

i never played the second 1 and as from wot Thor above me sais i havnt missed much

I forgot about Deus Ex 3 but takin away wot made the original such a great game is a bit of a lame move

But who knows wot they may add

Fingers crossed

slapsta725815d ago

i thought it had been scientifically proven that Deus-Ex = perfect

please explain Mr. Dugas

Lord Shuhei Yoshida5815d ago

I can't wait to play the next Deus Ex game in the superior version for the PS3.

Deus Ex Deserves Better Than Being A Scapegoat For Embracer's Screw-Ups

Hanzala from eXputer says, "After multiple delays, cancellations, and ownership changes, the misfortune of Deus Ex continues; this gem of a series deserves better."

maelstromb225d ago (Edited 225d ago )

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.

Five Annoying Video Game Openings in Otherwise Classic Titles

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 …

PrimeVinister412d ago

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.

Yi-Long412d ago

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.

PrimeVinister412d ago

@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

shammgod412d ago

Red Dead 2 opening was trash
