Deus Ex Alpha

Good stuff. If you used a general wide-used password on their site, I suggest you change it now.

Thank God I used a random one.

Read about this earlier, Anonymous (be it a 'splinter' group or otherwise) is starting to get ridiculous. I fail to see the point as to why they attacked Eidos, other than to upset the people they formerly claimed to support, gamers.

Damn.

I'm confused though, Eidos have their source in forums? I thought they probably had it on various PCs and drives, on their HQ or something. How can they release sourcodes.. hmm, perhaps to some extent, but yeah..

Time to change my password.

I think the bit about the source is lied or misunderstood.

4 databases are available online though, looking through them now.

Probably lied, because what other 'src' can they release?

Oh? so are these about the CVs and all? or the forum databases with passwords or so?... or both?

So far I've seen ~30.000 users with hashed (protected) passwords. I don't think they are forum related though. Still busy with importing the largest database, so far only looked at 3 of em. And I can't really say, I simply doubt that they have the source of the game online. Even though, it could work out positively for the community (sources -> editing DX3 in future).

What type of encryption?

MD5, it's not an encryption. I'm not sure if they were salted, as the salt had the exact same MD5 hash as the password. There were also a lot of users of Eidos Connect, which were plaintext. They were all inactive accounts, but they did contain personal passwords (plaintext = not protected). 1600 in total.

hello sony the second

Can't wait to play this compromised game on my compromised console.

I've read on their forums that source code was not uploaded to anything.

Yes because that's pretty much senseless.

By the intruders? Or developers?

That's a vague statement, and can be viewed in multiple ways.

That sounds like the Devs were saying it.

But both probably.

Developers.

I'll try and be less vague. In the thread regarding this incident, it was stated that Intruders do not have source code, since in the history of computer games development, no-one ever uploaded their source code to their forums.

Reading between the lines at EM, you can easily identify a core of people who complain about and accuse EM of everything and act in a militant way. in 2007 people were hacking Tomb Raider and posting samples of Crystal engine stuff on EM forums (lol). They're pretty tedious, because they cry wolf about every little thing and don't give up on certain issues either, not to mention also, some of them seem to know very little about DX1 and their accusations are sometimes ridiculous.

As much as I like the first game, it's pretty dumb not to realize that DXHR is being released 11 years later, when both the gamers, the industry and the way it's marketed have changed. I don't really care how "console" the game is, if the story, characters, interactions, choices etc are as good as they look.

The highlighting debate was a complete screw up anyway, instead of being "fixed", you have the option to remove it. So if you choose highlighting, it's still going to glow at you from a distance. Given that EM was a new studio, and attempting such a difficult project, some fans have really done little to help by being idiots on the forums.

People are set in their ways and they all have their own vision of what the new Deus Ex should be, any deviation from their view will simply not do for them.

I'd say "old habits die hard", the new game is going to take some getting used to, but maybe one day I'll be good enough for the "Deus Ex" difficulty setting.

There's a lot of whining on the official forums about lil changes but I think they have every right to complain because how publishers treat their developers and consumers.

Dragon Age 2 and Crysis 2 are huge examples of games ruined this year.

The worst part is...

-You know the third is going to be even worse.

DA3? Definitely. As soon as we got the bossy people from DA2 working on ME3 gay sex with the series' heterosexual characters happened. Thanks to that fat bitch.

Does anyone have the recent screenshots from the console build? Forgot to upload -- might not own them all anyway.

There's a rather bad screenshot of a Sariff guard regarding texture quality.
