Just look at the overview...

It looks like they are trying to make Dues Ex a shooter.  IMO one of the best things about the original Dues Exs was the way that it blended a fps with rpgs and the fact that there were many solutions to a problem.  If they turn this into a generic cyberpunk shooter, I will be severly dissappointed.  And while I am a sucker for all things cyberpunk, I don't want to buy another generic shooter (even though Project Snowblind was pretty good)

But at this point it is WAY too early to tell in what direction they are going with this game so hopefully I am just jumping to conclusions. 

I just don't want another dumbed down shooter for the masses, that is the last thing we need.

Yeah, i am getting some bad mojo from this game. I hope it turns out well. But i am not expecting it.

From what I have read I don't see any reason to be worried that it might suck...I am a huge fan of the series and I think this game is actually looking good.

Meh....it might be a good game in it's own right, mockery of the franchise though it undoubtedly shall be, but I'm not holding out hope.
If we're lucky, nobody buys Eidos and they sink, forcing them to sell their IPs to  more deserving developers.

I hope that they don't ruin this franchise.. We have enough used-to-be-great fucked up franchises out there!

If you watch the Yahtzee video for Guitar Hero World Tour, he has a funny little thing about Deus Ex at the end of it...put to song, nonetheless!!!  I couldn't stop laughing at it.

Hum... regenerating health and combat that's not influenced by stats don't attract me at all... but as you said, it's too early to pass any judgment, let's wait a little more.

Fantastic, it's Dues Ex 2 - The Sequel.

I know, I know, don't judge a game before it out but honestly after the terrible follow up to the original game I can't help but be pessimistic. The second game wasn't even that bad but unfortunately it took out most of the great aspects of the original. Why? I mean, you'd think they would learn and perhaps bring back the skill system, but no, they continue to shit all over the people who actually want a return to the greatness of the original and instead make a nice mass marketable game. Bah.

Hell, I'm probably over reacting but god damn it I love the first game to death and I would hate to see this drag the game further down. Maybe It'll be great and I'll eat my words, I really, really hope so.

Im not really a fan of the series, but those changes seem pretty bad.

With all die respect I kind of like the idea of enhancing the FPS elements in this game, having both RPG and real time action, I don't see what's wrong about this, actually.

I am still eagerly anticipating this game.  I absolutely loved Deus Ex.

The Deus Ex Franchise is dead.  They killed it w/ Invisible War. DX3 will be a game that NO ONE BUYS and EVERYONE hates.  They will try to make it for casuals, and casuals will hate it because it doesnt have tea bagging.

The sad fact is the original Deus Ex is amazing, but like many amazing games they forget what made it great, and developers over think it and remove the greatness and replace it w/ copy and past ideas from other games.
The "stats affecting combat" is one of the things that made DX awesome, removing that would be like removing loot drops from Diablo 3

why do i have the feeling this will be made into an action 1st person shooter...

It's being changed too much, on top of not being developed by who you would want it developed by, there is plenty of reason to have a bad feeling about it.

Thats what people were saying when fallout was bought by Bethesda, but look how good that turned out.

"Gunner said:

Its totally different. Everyone knew Bethesda was taking the license and making it a different game entirely, different genre of RPG entirely. This is aiming to make the same genre and perspective game entirely. There's plenty of ways to mess that up."

Even if the RPG/Action/Stealth blend will come out alright (where splinter cell conviction utterly failed (stealth purely as prelude to combat)) They will not be able to have a story even a 100th of what the original had. 
Fallout 2 and Deus Ex were games that were so brilliantly crafted that they actually made you think about our societies. 
So true about the casuals though, nobody seems to like quality games. It's like the movie industry except in only took 5 years.

I feel against premature judgements on something that people haven't seen yet.
