Deus Ex

I know I'm not the only fan here, this was my first ever proper computer game, and it was the only other FPS/RPG I've ever played other than half life series. If the new one is 1% as good as the original was I'll be buying it. I hope they include some of the old sound track as that was brilliant.

Can't say enough about this game. This was my life in 7th and 8th grade and yeah, the soundtrack can be listened to outside of the game (one of the best). I was sorely disappointed with the release of Invisible War, so I too am hoping for a redeeming 3rd installment.

hellfuck yes i love this soundtrack.

can't wait for DE3.

I've been playing this lately after finding the CD mixed in with a stack of music! Just finished up the Hong Kong missions. Definitely at the top of the list of favorite games.

I really really love the new deus ex trailer and support this thread but how was any first party title in the half life series remotely RPG at all? no offense

I never played the first or second, but if this one is 1% as good as the trailer, I'm down.

leveling up/buying new skills?

huh? what half life/drugs you been dealing with

question. unreal tournament actually used tracker files for it's soundtrack. you can open them in modplug tracker and view the compositions, rip the samples, edit the tracks, everything.

deus ex music sounds extremely similar... anyone tried this?

I was playing it with modplug and it worked. But then I converted it to mp3.

Warren Spector was a father of the first game. The best computer game ever made in my opinion. There is simply no better. Even Half-Life falls on second spot. I'm kind of worried for Warren was not invited to DE3 project...

I thought that as I was typing, but its honest to god the only other FPS that isn't like call of duty esque I've played that I could refer to! I played Bioshock, but thought it was a bit poo so didn't get further in than a few levels.

I hope they don't put scary bionic animals in this one, as they really scared me in the original!

Deus ex was such a great game, can't think of a storyline that well-crafted in other video games that comes remotely close. It became eerily relevant a year after I played it when New York got hit for reals ;)

I gave up on the series after playing a few hours of the second game though.. Spector had already stepped down from leading the project or so he said in an interview and I bet that's why.

Anyone played the game Spector made before Deus Ex.. System Shock 2? Pretty dated now but quite awesome for the time.. the background ambiances for some chunks of the game sounded like tuned pieces of scraping metal (making up hints of notes+melody) or something.. really sweet

No way, really? What's a good free tracker?

They stopped using the umx file format after the first engine though. I think UT2003 and onward are like OGG Vorbis.

Someone remix Hong Kong immediately

Milkytracker or OpenMPT

Its hard to say if the new game will be any good. Not having Warren could make it a flop, but SquareEnix being involved has me hopeful. Plus they are jumping backwards in the theme timeline which will hopefully keep the story realistic instead of getting too up its ass futuristic. That is one thing I really loved about the first one, just about every aspect of the story had some connection to real history or conspiracy theories and wasn't too far fetched in their vision of the future.

hands down the best game i've ever played. the hong kong mission is amazing.

i really enjoyed the second one as well. once you get used to the cartoony, sluggish unreal 2 engine, it's actually pretty good.

yep, it's all in s3m format, i think. actually i believe the same composer/s worked on both games!

on a similar note, has anyone played strife? kinda similar style (fps with light rpg elements) but made in 1996 with the doom/hexen engine. don't let that put you off, it's a great game - non-linear levels, plenty of twists.

So its only a 2 weeks away according to Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Deus-Ex-Human-Revolution-Xbox/dp/B003O85LW2/ref=sr_1_4?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1298260952&sr=1-4

If it lives up it will be great. The 5 min movie they released looked good, and the giant hole in the sea looked interesting.

everytime you mention deus ex, someone reinstalls it

i have a feeling the new deus ex will be filled with bugs and have really awkward controlls for some reason.

Damn it.

There used to be a game called Deus back in the days from the MSDOS era. You were a spatial explorer who crashed on an unexplored planet, and you basically had to survive and build different stuffs in order to send a radio signal to your HQs. This game was awesome because it was very realistic : you could break your legs (and become virtually dead from this moment on); get bitten by a snake (you only had a few seconds to fix this), or die from dehydration ( and start seeing hallucinations). There was a medical-console to deal with these various problems and you could get attacked by pterodactyles and even lose an eye (half of the screen'd get covered with blood). Awesome.

There goes your week.

I'm actually excited. Last time I got excited about a game was black ops, thinking it was going to be like MW2. What a let down that was.

Just installed Deus Ex, downloaded a shit ton of mods and stuff. Can anyone recommend what mods I should install?

Vanilla, bro. If you must, HDTP.
