I hate how every usable objects glows orange, I really hope you can turn it off, or that it's toned down in the final game. It's distracting enough that I probably won't buy the game if it's not. The third person doesn't look very good either.

To kill or not to kill..... how revolutionary.........
I have to say, every time I see more of this game, the less I want to play it.  They should have stuck to trailers, because the game itself looks very bland.

Hmm...transition from 1st to 3rd seems kind of clunky, and the field of view seems odd in 1st person.

This pretty much looks like what I want out of a modern Deus Ex's combat.

"The Deus Ex franchise distinguishes... blah blah" wants me to punch her skype voice!
 
Poor Ion Storm Austin team! Your game is now raped by two sequels - each one trying to gain credit for your baby.
 
That's what happens, when you don't own your IP (anymore).
 
... and then, there's this.

Meh...  I don't know what I was expecting, but I don't think it was this.  Anyways, I'll put a pretty penny on the fact that those execution animations will get stale really quickly.

Yea, not impressed at all.  Seems to be a very avg shooter with some stealth.  Voice work is painful.  Transition from 1st to 3rd person sucks.  Do I really need to stare at the back of his head/wall as he slowly climbs down the ladder?  God I hate clunky ladder mechanics. Moving the bodies looked bad. It really needed a guard reaction of some kind to at least offset how poorly done, and boring it looked.  MGS did a better job 10+ years ago.
 
Guess I wasnt a fan of the original either, but i dont see this getting anything higher then a 7.  Looked to be a 6.5 from that video.

Man, this game looks filled with silly, insulting, "gamey" presentation and design.  But hey, for some reason I'm still slightly interested by the trailer.  Maybe it's because my brain is fried from exams.

Are we watching the same video people? This is very impressive looking, so I don't know what the fuck you guys are smoking. 
But this is the internet, so I shouldn't really expect much. People are going to bitch and moan no matter what you show them, just for the sake of bitching and moaning.

It's Deus Ex alright. Sneaking across rooftops and turning off faulty electrics. I remember doing that in the original game. Also hacking keypad doors. I hope the "Detective Vision" glow over everything is something you can turn off and on at will though.

Not really seeing this game that people are describing as having bad graphics. The environment in this game is especially impressive looking to me.

totally un-revolutionary gameplay... 
might still be fun, though average-looking.. but if this is next gen gameplay, then the Emotion Engine was capable of real human emotions.

I'm not sure anyone has ever remembered any game properly in the face of its sequel.

Oddly reminiscent of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory in level design, graphics, and tactics. As a tutorial level, it serves its purpose well enough, and hopefully the rest of the game is more impressive. This was just a lackluster video. Also, I don't like that there is no physicality at all. You are just a floating dot with no arms until you take someone down.

I don't like what I saw... transition from 3rd to 1st person perspective is awkward, and the 1st person perspective gameplay feels outdated... like a PC game from 10 years ago... it just doesn't look right.

Looking forward to this a lot. I don't mind the R6 Vegas type of cover system. Only minor gripe the highlighting of objects you can grab, hopefully you can toggle it.

Having choice on the way you complete an objective isn't exactly a new concept. Nevertheless, I hope the game turns out well.
