How to Play Deus Ex: Human Revolution's First Mission

" exited for this game! Deus Ex ftw "

Explosive red barrels! Yup this is a video game.

Well, I was really interested in the game, but now after watching that... kinda got bored, and the graphics look meh.

Those are some nice looking air ducts.

That was a whole lotta ladder climbin'... I like how, in the future, unchecked fires are everywhere and nobody is concerned.

Alpha Protocol: The Next Generation?

Now I understand why they haven't shown any of this game until now. The main characters VO sounds generic and terrible, the constantly shifting between 3rd/1st person view looks like it would get annoying after a while, and I'm not a fan of how all of the take downs look like they go into some weird 4-5 second cinematic instead of just staying from your point of view. 
 
I will wait for this to go on sale during some Steam sale. I think it's going to be another Alpha Protocol.

Even though it's a short clip, it reminds me of the first Deus Ex but with the art style of MGS2. That is very important that a sequel "feels" like it's predecessor. 

Kids, when the lady says "lets hide the body...just for fun" i dont want you all trying this at home ok ;)

" It just doesn't look very impressive to me. The "choices" presented here are completely uninteresting. Wow, three entrances to a building? And the game plays different audio files depending on the entrance you take? Not to mention the neatly stacked boxes serving as alternate routes are lazy and contrived. "

hmmmm i cannot say i like the whole "HEY JUST IF YOU WANT THERE IS A REAR ENTRANCE BUT ITS SECRET BUT I WANNA LET YOU KNOW INSTEAD OF FINDING IT YOURSELF JUST SO YOU KNOW OK!?"
 
still, its marketing first level so it does not affect my want for this game

This was slightly disappointing.. The original was TRULY open-ended, there were easily more than 3 options and paths to take at any given moment.  
 
I don't think being violent and then all stealthy-like count as... 2 paths. I would've enjoyed this game on its own merits and I'll probably buy it anyway, but they kinda shot themselves in the foot by comparing it to the Spector classic.

Anyone else think Hitman games when you saw the person drag the corpses around? 
 
Also I do hope you can change the color of the UI like in Crysis. Too bright for my taste. I feel that a cool blue would work better. This game is all about customization right, give us the option!

" Now I understand why they haven't shown any of this game until now.

Only thing that bothers me is the bright gold highlighting over everything. Would prefer it to be natural, so you have to figure out what you can interact with/what's important by yourself.

Hrmmm. Not as sure about this game anymore, or at least I'm a little less sure of it compared to the impression I got from past footage. Going to have to see more footage in between now and release.    

PC version better have kick ass mod support. 

Not bad considering release date im sure they will smooth out some of the rough edges in the coming months.  But the woman narrative is pretty dumb in my opinion.

Huh... a linear game with loot and stealth and other gameplay options.  Sounds like Deus Ex to me.

thats some crazy mouse smoothing

"game comes out in august in the meantime... enjoy the game" makes no goddamned sense. 
 
Also, is it just me or do Adam's hands look really tiny?

The gun doesn't look right to me imo It would look so much better pure black with some reflections on it.It just looks to much like a toy gun also not a fan of the highlighted objects with all that said I really hope this game turns out good.

Looks very Alpha Protocoly

Black and Gold always makes me happy.

I love Mondays....  *cry*

I hope the movement isn't final. He looks like he's just slowly floating everywhere.

I feel completely ready to judge this entire game based on these 8 minutes.

The main character's voice makes me think they got one of the programmers to do a Clint Eastwood impression and then forgot to replace it later. 

The voice actor is just as boring and unemotional as the one in the first game!
 
Sign me up!

Looks interesting. Not the best graphically, but whatever.
 
Maybe people are looking at the original Deus Ex through rose colored glasses, but it wasn't super duper open worldy. Your average level really only had a few ways around. Considering this is the first level, I think the entire game looks like it has the potential to give a varied experience in the spirit of a Deus Ex game.
 
And I really don't mind the guys voice. It reminds me of the original Deus Ex game, which had kinda bad voice acting, but here it feels like a self conscious throwback and I'm cool with that. 
 
My big worry about this game is the story/writing, but so far I like what I'm seeing game play wise. Nothing strikes me as offensively bad and the potential is there. Here's to hoping they can pull it off!

I'm really not a fan of the shitty talking portrait in the corner.

The video makes it look alittle dated! The graphics didn't look nearly as good as previous videos, hopefully just the video... Plus, the game pauses for a sec when you stealth kill... Looks like polish is in order.

What the shit is this Deus Ex game? This agent you play has a boring voice! And he looks stupid with that coat and sunglasses! And how come you don't have any real choices in the first level? All you do is shoot some guards and then talk to a guy in the Statue of Liberty. LAAAAAME! I've only played the first five minutes of this game and I hate it!!!11!

This wasn't as impressive as I think the people who made this video thought it would be...

Not an impressive demo, but maybe it's better when you actually play it...

I dunno about this game... How much do you want to bet that one approach will always be more viable than the other, Alpha Protocol style? How sad it would be if your stealth oriented character was funneled into an endgame full of combat?

Not sure if I like the HUD opacity of the items popping up, but I suppose you won't be looting in a gunfight :P

That announcer has one of those nasally voices that bugs the shit out of me. 
 
But the game looks fantastic.
