Whatever. The ending to Deus Ex: HR was pure garbage. I don't know how people loved that game so much.

Looks pretty OK to me, there's still the question of how it'll control, but Deus Ex never was about great precision shooting anyway, they could certainly get away with lots of auto-aim and dice roll based combat in my book. I hope it'll appear on PC as Human Revolution DLC or as a Blood Dragon style stand alone, cheap downloadable game later on, or at least on Android devices. I'm sure this could be pretty neat on Ouya.

Or, yeah, Vita/3DS could be great fits for this as well.

My disappointment is augmented.

Alternate joke post: I asked for this. Sorry guys.

Real post: this game seems fine, they probably just shouldn't have had any pr buildup so people couldn't get worked up about a possible full new game.

Or you announce a real Deus Ex and at the end you say "hey, we also did this thingy for when you are on the toilet".

So...it's a prequel to the prequel?

This is even more disappointing than I expected.

Hey, why don't they actually try and take advantage of the change of platform instead of trying to do a half-assed version of a game that doesn't work with only a touchscreen? Why isn't this a game all about hacking? There's already a thing in the series made for an iOS installment!

Surprised Jeff of all people would make an "I never asked for this" joke.

But for real, no one fucking asked for this.

This would've been way better suited for an actual console release, like the Vita.

This looks like they literally copied the interface from DE:HR and shoehorned it into touch.

Their Announcement trailer is sitting at almost 13,000 dislikes to 1000 likes. That's got to sting a little I guess.

Because story is the only reason why anyone could like a game right?

I don't think the Deus Ex experience necessarily needs to be a 1st-person shooter, because all your getting with this is a shoddier looking and shoddier playing version of Human Revolution. I think you could do a pretty cool adaption of the Deus Ex universe with a top-down turn-based game or something similar.

Ugh. Touch controls. For a shooter. Is Square-Enix so angry at Eidos for not making "a bajillion dollars" that they don't want to properly fund a successful franchise?

Port this to the Vita and give it some real controls and then we'll talk.

Hah... and people thought Eidos couldn't do worse than Invisible War. Who is this made for anyway?

Also, I actually liked Invisible War (on Xbox) for what it was.

Only thing that probably works in this game is the hacking minigame.
