STOP THE FUCKAN PRESSES. NEW INFORMATION.

Fresh from PCZone, which I am going to hunt down and purchase later this week if I can find it.

The first details on Eidos Montreal's Deus Ex 3 have been revealed, in the pages of PC Zone's landmark 200th issue.

It's out in the shops on Thursday, but PC Zone subscribers are reporting that copies of PCZ number 200 have hit doormats this morning. The cover game? Deus Ex 3 - the long-awaited return of the world's favourite nano-augmented RPG-shooter.

In essence, it looks and sounds fantastic. The art direction is a beautiful meld of the renaissance and cyberpunk (tying into the game's Leonardo Da Vinci motif) and is going for a lot more stylised look than the sort of game that comes from the Unreal Engine cookie-cutter.

It sounds like Eidos Montreal isn't leaving anything to chance; a "powerful, layered" plot is promised for the third game - which has been confirmed as a prequel set in 2027- and the dev has even drafted in the consultative talents of original writer Sheldon Pacotti, while also gaining the blessing of both Harvey Smith and Warren Spector on the project.

You're cast as average joe Adam Jensen, who works as a private security officer at a technology lab specialising in biomechanical augmentations, a forerunner to the sort of nanotechnology shown in the original Deus Ex. One day the path of his life is unexpectedly altered as a team of black ops commandos break into his company's HQ, and using a security plan from Jensen's own hand, a mass slaughter ensues and the conspiracy begins.

"Deus Ex 3's vision of the future sees holographic screens flicker atop ferries moving back and forth in front of the Shanghai skyline, now split into two layers with the rich on the top and the poor in perpetual twilight below," says PCZ.

Eidos Montreal says it's more than aware of fan reaction to controversial second game, Invisible War, and promises mistakes, such as limiting ammo types to just one, won't be repeated.

This said, they are doing their utmost to please newcomers as well as existing fans. Perhaps controversially this time around combat won't be influenced by stats, but will rely purely on your personal marksmanship skills. Instead stats will influence "a vast array of fully upgradeable and customisable weapons", and you'll be able to tailor your arsenal to your play style with mag upgrades, scopes and other add-ons.

What's more, stealth will now rely on a cover system rather than shadows, and damage will be dealt with by a very Call of Duty-style auto-heal. There's probably going to be some debate over those two.

Augmentations have been bumped up and sound fantastic. 20 have been promised for the final game, ranging from 'bungee jump' tentacles that shoot from your back and anchor to a wall when you jump off a building, and the ability to punch through walls to grab enemies in neighbouring rooms.

Deus Ex 3 certainly sounds very, very promising - if a little controversial for die-hard PC fans. And just wait until you see the shots...

For more info and the first screenshots see the full ten-page preview in the 200th issue of PC Zone, out October 9 (and in subscribers' hands now). Happy 200th issue, by the way.


A friend of mine who subscribes confirmed a few things for me,

You can punch through walls and grab people by the neck, splinter cell anyone?
Skill points return and have been expanded, don't know by how much though.
20 Augs or thereabouts.

He's also posted it on the Deus Ex 3 forums.

Yeah.

They fucked it up.

BAD BAD BAD BAD

I really hope they fix this shit, surely all they did so far is concepts... right? RIGHT?

Instead stats will influence "a vast array of fully upgradeable and customisable weapons", and you'll be able to tailor your arsenal to your play style with mag upgrades, scopes and other add-ons.


Kinda good I guess

What's more, stealth will now rely on a cover system rather than shadows, and damage will be dealt with by a very Call of Duty-style auto-heal.


All bad, COD-Style AUTO HEAL is not for games like Deus Ex series.

Bungee Jump Tentacles

BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD DEAR GOD

I'm pissed... no, like REALLY fucken pissed right now.

1. I did NOT want this to be a prequel, but am not truly surprised at all about it.

2. AVERAGE FUCKING JOE? If I wanted to play the man down the fucken road I FUCKEN WOULD. BUT THIS IS NOT REAL LIFE, THIS IS A FUCKEN DEUS EX GAME. WE DO NOT PLAY AVERAGE FUCKEN JOES. WE PLAY FUCKING UNATCO AGENTS THAT GO TO NSF AND THEN DON'T SIDE WITH ANYONE AND JUST KILL SHIT. IS THAT AN AVERAGE FUCKING JOE? I DON'T THINK SO MR. EIDOS MONTREAL.

3. Bungee Jump Tentacles. Yay, we're getting a fucken Japanese hentai game where I bet those "tentacles" can also be used for some seriously freak shit! /sarcasm. Bah, pure bullshit.

4. I don't mind the cover-system, makes it seem more realistic. But I also like the system that if I can't see YOU in the dark, then you can't see ME in the goddamn dark. Got it?!

5. Ammo and weapon upgrades don't seem so bad, so long as there's no shit cap like in IW. That and changing ammo back from "one ammo fits all" to "ammo comes in various sizes" doesn't mean they know what the FANS. The TRUE fans (aka; Us) want. That is but ONE thing of IW that sucked, there were TONS more reasons.

I want to try this game out just to be proven wrong. OH GOD HOW I WANT TO BE PROVEN WRONG. But I just can't see this being good anymore. Harvey Smith, IMO, means shit to me. So meh, his blessing can go get analled. But it would have been awesome if Warren and Sheldon could've worked on it (specifically; Sheldon Pacotti, the writer for the legend that is Deus Ex).

AUTO HEALING
FLOP OF THE YEAR

If they'd smart they'd get rid of the auto healing system, then it'll be a OKAY GAME.

Lol, set in 2027; COINCIDENCE or CONSPIRACY

Auto healing; wtf -_-

Bungee jumping tentacles + punching through walls; I hope they don't make augs that can be used in one or two specific areas and is then completely forgotten about. Every aug should be able to be taken advantage of in every level. I really can't see the need to bunjee jump off buildings that often.

I can see me bungee jumping off stuff just to see the guy die... oh wait, you don't use a bungee for that. But the whole break through walls shit would be awesome if it's not for just one level. And yes.

Auto healing: WTF?!

Auto healing is for fast paced FPS games, not sneaky stealthy RPG-ey games like Deus Ex.

Auto healing is for CASUAL GAMES

Healing is for fags who can't take a good beating. I don't heal, I prefer to beat the shit out of you with bullets and/or a Sword until you bleed to death (all in video games, of course, I'm not that satanic in real life lol).

Auto-healing sucks major ass, even in causal games I wouldn't fucken want it really.

Send a message to Eidos Montreal saying that we are huge fans of Deus Ex and that the auto-healing system would suck.

My main concern is how could there be augmentations? They wouldn't be they great considering Paul would still be so young, he wouldn't have even have been in UNATCO yet.

And why a fucken cyberpunk theme? I don't really hate cyberpunk, but Deus Ex is not cyber fucking punk. I gotta say, the first picture is pretty fucken cool though IMO.

My main problem is how the FUCK does this tie in with ANYTHING to do with Deus Ex's storyline? What the hell could they possibly explain in a PREQUEL? And how does this guy get fucken augmentations... clearly he'd have to be a clone of Paul? Forerunner my ass, NOW THEY'RE JUST ADDING SHIT TO MAKE THEIR FUCKEN STORYLINE FIT.

Utter bullshit.

Is Shanghai the ONLY map for the whole game? How does Adam Jensen have augs when he's just "an average joe?" Does Gunther's spiritual successor still prefer orange over lemon-lime?

Find out more after these commercial messages!

Probably something to do with classic orange now and he likes lemon-lime.

Dude, they're MECHS. Not Augmentations. This Adam Jensen guy is apparently going to be forced with augmentations.

And MJ12 did tests on real people when testing augmentations, they tested on clones of Paul, most of them died or turned extremely retarded. The only clone that survived was JC. Therefore, this whole thing just throws the whole Deus Ex Bible out the goddamn window.

A prosthetic leg is an augmentation
Plastic surgery is augmentation
Having braces is FUNNILY enough augmentation.

Cyborgs are mechanical and biological monstrosities riddled with augmentations.
