@paulunga:  they've said in other interviews that this was a concious choice made because we're actually further now than was predicted by the first deus ex. stuff like wide screen tvs and high definition monitors weren't predicted, but it'd be weird to leave them out now.
 
also: this game had better be god damn good.

" I find it strange that even though this is set before the other Deus Ex games the actual tech, the implants etc. seem to be MORE advanced. "
Again, I think a lot of that is down to the graphics.  The game is obviously going to look a good deal better, and I think they've actually put a lot more thought and effort into the designs.
 
But the original Deus Ex did have characters with these cybernetic implants, it was only the player character that had the newer, biomechanical ones, so you didn't really see much of this robotic stuff.  So again, they probably didn't put quite as much effort into the designs for those characters that did.

" Oh god Deus Ex is the best PC game ever.. and this is shaping up to actually respect it. I just hope the PC "port" is .. servicable. "

Come on, I don't think we need this kind of elitism here. 

Deus Ex 2 was dumbed down for the same reasons the Elder Scrolls IV was, it had nothing to do with consoles, but casual gamers who needed a more simplistic experience.  The developers should have taken more time to tweak the interface for the PC version, but again I wouldn't blame that on the consoles existance and it was just as clunky and unintuitive on the Xbox as it was on the PC. 
 
Remember:  Both Deus Ex and Morrowind were released on consoles and were virtually untouched from the PC versions, yet still sold really well.  The sequels were dumbed down for casual gamers, who exist on the PC and consoles.

It's FPS but with third person cover mechanics - think Rainbow Six Vegas.

I have to admit I expect my French Canadian game designers to sound more Frenchy.
 
He has good reason not to be intimidate by the pedigree of the franchise given there was only one good game and its over 12 years old.  Getting Warren off this project was best news I heard about this game. With him out of the picture maybe we can get a good game.  It could be want Invisible War should have been.
 
I am digging the art style on this game.

This game looks pretty awesome. I'm wondering if I should go back and play the first two, because I continue to hear good things about them (well...the first one at least).

When I heard Square-Enix was working on this game, I was worried, but it's reassuring to see a guy with a French last name as art director.

lol, I've never heard of the first deus ex, so when I first heard the name on the bombcast and ever since until now, I thought it was Day of Sex. Hehehe.

For everyone wondering is you should play the first two games....yes I think you should. The first Deus-Ex was one of the first games I played on my first PC purchased. Blew our minds back in the day and today it holds up pretty well. Deus Ex: Invisible War...while not AS good as the first game I thought it was still fun and was a worthy sequel.
You can find them both on Steam for a pretty fair price.

What I don't want is this to turn into another dumbed down third person shooter.  I want the same multiple choice gameplay from the first game.  I want there to be choices, where you can spec your character any way you like and it will still work in the game.   
However, the fact that the skills have no impact on shooting makes me a little scared.

Now that they mention it, it does seem like this is Deus Ex mixed with Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell.

It's good to hear him say that the player won't be forced to use any of the four "pillars" of gameplay.  The thing that made the original Deus Ex so great was the variety of ways you could tackle each and every mission.

They just made this game, it's called Alpha Protocol, and it was great. Reviewers trashed it for not being enough of a shooter.
