Looks pretty good. Hopefully it is considering all the impressions from E3 sounded very positive.

UT2k4 mod?

The science fiction setting piles all kinds of possibilities into the action - on top of health, you'll have to stock up on bio-energy to keep your wealth of collectible body-mods in working order. The stuff you can jack into your system adds an extra fat layer of gameplay to the proceedings - so far we've seen invisibility, speed and slow-motion modifications. There's even one that lets you take over enemy bots and send them out to do your dirty work. Best of all, you can mix them together for some wicked tricks like slowing down the action and boosting your speed so you can grab grenades from the air and chuck them back in their owners' faces. Nice one!

Sounds like it could be an interesting take on things.

And is it just me or has the console FPS just exploded since Halo came on the scene?

UT2k4 mod?

As far as I know it started out as Deus-Ex: Clan Wars (or something close to that), and got renamed/retooled along the way.

Somebody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, which I probably am on the title.

You are correct, sir.

I don't want to live in a world where the Deus Ex name is so diminished that second rate games like this one don't even want to milk it for sales.

Every time I see the name of this game mentioned (in articles, release lists, etc.), I immediately think of Snowblind Studios first, rather than this game. Does this happen to anyone else?

Yeah, I think so too. Although really, most of them are the same old me-too crap over and over again; it's hard to get excited them--this game included. The only first-person shooter that I really give a darn about anymore (on consoles) is TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, because I enjoyed TimeSplitters 2 so damn much. Perhaps Black might be worth watching, because it's done by Criterion Games (Burnout developers), but we really don't know much enough about that game at this point in time.

I'm kinda getting a cool 3DO vibe from the UI and aesthetics in general.

(The system, not the Army Men Factory)

That makes sense considering Crystal Dynamics began solely as a 3DO developer before branching out to other consoles.

It is not really about Halo, but from the fact we have at last sufficient power for average dev to develop FPS.

Last gen, FPS scene on ps1 was not very brilliant (except MOH) and only one/two dev succeeded in mastering the FPS developement on N64. (GE/PD/Turok)

 

[Ghost]

Do we really need the ammo counter taking up 10% of the screen?

 

[boutrosinit]

Checked this out at E3. It's very slick and the weapons are very well thought - could easily contend as one of the best online Versus FPSers on console.

And it did strike me odd that the main character looked like a Crackhead version of JC Denton. I take it this was the PS2 Deus Ex game rumoured to originally be shown at E3 2003 right?

 

[FriScho]

and where is the snow?

 

[FoneBone]

Does this still take place in the Deus Ex universe?
