Deus Ex Alpha

Dear Britons, if anyone of you happen to buy the next PCZone today, please make a scan/photo of DX3 related pages. It'll be much appreciated by the worldwide Deus Ex community and particularly Russians from my site PlanetDeusEx.ru who eagerly await every new detail about the new game.

I will compensate the cost of the magazine by paypal if you do that before anyone else.

If you worry about copyrights and such, email me the pictures to eugene.zuyev@gmail.com. Don't worry about recompressing, resizing etc, its not that important.

If you make a photo, please do that in an illuminated place and turn on "macro" (close object) mode on your camera. I don't think making a cameraphone photo is a good idea, even if the text is readable.

Thank you in advance.

I Need it to! Please!

Ugh, it's available in the UK? I thought the US had different copies to us. I'll try get it tomorrow and scan the pages if anyone's still interested.

My only concern is I believe it's illegal without the magazine publisher's permission, as it would be copyright infringement.

I'm not taking the moral high ground here, go for your life, not my problem if shit happens lol, just might not be wise to post somewhere where people can see it so readily?

the copyright law allows anyone to quote small extracts

Ah, didn't know that. Sweet.

Does scanning in several entire pages count as "quoting small extracts"? lol

Also, favour. ;_;

Damn magasine wasn't in Tesco, I'm gonna try a local mini-market (Spar) tonight, but if they don't have it, sorry

"favor" is American English, which I prefer over British English (don't hate me for that please!)

Hmm, I saw it in the garage today, and it's bloody 7 quid ther :O

INFORMATION HAS A PRICE

Posted: **Sat Oct 11, 08 2:40 pm**

I have it!

As soon as I can I will get the pages scanned in, I've read the whole article, there's also a sub article where they interview Warren and Harvey about DX1, 2 and 3

EDIT

Here is the frontpage

Posted: **Sat Oct 11, 08 3:00 pm**

Post it now I tell you :O

Posted: **Sat Oct 11, 08 4:10 pm**

Here it is

However, the scan was very high quality, and I don't want to reduce the quality incase it might destroy the small print

If anyone wants to tinker them and better post them here that's fine

So there's this matter of compensation...

I joke, DX is important to me, and posting this is all good

(sorry to those suckers who wanted to get 6 quid from Dae by posting this first...)

I love the pros and cons on page 1

Pros

Trying to stay true to the original

Deep and intriguing plot

Open-ended and reactive world

Cyberpunk renaissance art style

Cons

May not please hardcore fans

ROFL

Can I just say guys, yes there's tentacles and auto-heal, but fan's very rarely put in great input into video games design

Because either it's too nostalgic or it disrupts the balance

For all you know, they may listen to the fans, take out the auto-heal, don't have a regen aug, and you've picked augs over weapons, but you accidentally fall down into a corridor versus 10 guards, when your running away you might cry out

"OMG DIS GAME IS TOO HARD, NEEDZ MOAR HEALTH..."

Posted: **Sat Oct 11, 08 5:26 pm**

We at /v/ came up with the best systems (2 days ago) which keep the auto health regeneration in both scenarios. Which will keep fans of the series, casuals and those looking for a challenge happy.

First would be to change it to something like S.T.A.L.K.E.R or Max Payne (2?), to get your health up faster you must find health packs or dispensers.

Your health increasing over time very slowly (minutes to full health) which keeps survivability still a challenge.
Your health doesn't recharge until you're under a certain amount of damage, and even then it doesn't recharge completely.

To get your health up faster you must find health packs or dispensers

Second would be to keep the auto regeneration (and mix it with the above maybe?) and add two Health difficulties before starting a new game:

Regeneration
Classic, the exact health system is back from the original game including the individual limb system.

This will keep fans happy while still cater to the new crowd they want to sell their product to.
Also I want to note that I will not forgive them if they use the Call of Duty style Regeneration if "5 seconds = full health". Come on, no one is THAT stupid... make it 20-30 second like other regenerating health/shield games!

Great thanx! (just a bit pity about unreadable text along the edges... and about the absence of page 48

)

Sorry about the page edges, scanning can't be perfect

But you were right about the missing page, sorry gents, missed pages 48 and 49 but have updated the above post

Edit

Maximum of 10 attachments per post, so I'm gonna do some fiddling

Posted: **Sun Oct 12, 08 6:43 am**

You, my friend, are a LEGEND.

Posted: **Sun Oct 19, 08 3:37 pm**

I've been asked to re-scan pages 43, 47 and 49 because of the edge quality

I've tried to re-scan them a little better, but they still came out a little blah

If you want me to tell you a particular word then I can
