Prequel Speculation

Take a look at this screenshot.

One of the rioters is holding I sign saying "No Augs". Now, on the contrary to the off chance that DX3 will take place in a Templar controlled society (best case scenario), this may have been a riot taking place the same time as the Biopolitical Vote 2027. Everything seems to lead to another during this speculation, including how they will combine all of the IWar endings if DX3 really is good (not a prequel I mean).

Of course, like I stated theres also shown racism, distaste, fear to the mech agents in DX1, and abit of sorrow for themselves.

There is another person holding a sign on the right of him showing an arm with a Xed circle.

Doesn't mean augs won't be in it. Remember - augs are in the other games and they're AFTER 2027 LOL.

This could be the starting of it when people just didn't want to accept it. They accepted mechs didn't they?

Yeah, I've stated that mechanical augmentations will be cool, if not cooler if it actually effects your character when you upgrade them.

In DX1, you see people who still hate mechs and are a violation of nature.

Yes, but it didn't stop them from making them, did it? So this "No Augs" doesn't mean shit because THEY OBVIOUSLY MAKE THEM ANYWAY lol.

I suppose they'd be ripping out breast impants too hahaha.

LOL. Now that'd be fucked up.

New DX2 Aug - BREAST AUGMENTATIONS!!! (DX2 as you can choose gender lol).

Well concidering either in DX2 are seen as canon, and that Billie = Nick for sure until said otherwise, who knows if its really a gender swap for both of them or a cover up, haha.

Transexual gameplay, YEAH.

Pwned. With all this heated discussion, does this mean we're hardcore DX fans LOL.

I REALLY do not want a prequel.

Why the hell not? What's so wrong with that? The only problem with a prequel I'll have is that JC and Paul won't be in it. Which would really suck.

Or... play as Paul if he's the first LOL. That'd be interesting.

Just explained it in another thread:

There would only be a small scrap of potential story behind a prequel, and it would have to be entirely political, with some silly dramatic ending in which you see JC. How awful.

Also, a point to support that it isn't a prequel:

It's called Deus Ex 3

So? Look at Command & Conquer: Red Alert. That was a PREQUEL to Command & Conquer: Tiberium Dawn. I KNEW someone would say what you just did.

Alot of games have been prequels yet keep numerical progression, even movies.

And what were they gunna call it?

Deus Ex 0?

PostPosted: Thu Nov 29, 07 2:51 am

They could of, but I guess that could be left if this one isn't a prequel.

Deus Ex: The Punchline Indicating It's A Prequel.

OH SHIT. Another worst case scenario:

Deus Ex: Origins



AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

If this were a prequel, we could have access to everything and more seen in the DX bible, we'd be able to forge a continuance with the previous games, or should I say future settings laid in a prequel.

What I also am interested is, Bob Page's founding of MJ12 by stealing the old Illuminati pupils etc.

How the fuck could they incorporate that into an FPS/RPG? Off-trail cinematics? Switching protagonists? They couldn't do it without being awful. Those two ideas by themselves make me queezy.

The exact same way as Unatco turned on you from MJ12's biddings, and the fact you meet the Illuminati in DX1.

Its not hard to imagine a syndicate fall down and leave to another syndicate and be a first witness.
It also gives a excuse why a prequel protagonist could die, meddling.

I still believe Deus Ex might make a good movie. It's got a decent storyline. Unlike those fucking TV series where they go on and on and on and NEVER FUCKING STOP!

Bob Page splitting off to create a secret society in an FPS :?

Spoiler: betrayal sells in FPS.

Bah, for all we know it could have NOTHING to do with ANY of the previous games and only augs.

Bob Page did indeed take fellow pupils of the Illuminati order and hand me downs to create MJ12 though.

Yes, he did. Everett tells you that.
