deanb Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 https://www.deusex.com/news/aypo-cancelled They've canned the "Augment Your Pre-order" thing and now if you pre-order you get everything. What's funny is they say they originally did this cos the regionally different pre-orders caused frustration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Sort of a shorter version of above half hour video summarising some of the changes between the two games. Slightly annoying..err bullet point. I don't know what it's called in youtube videos but you'll know what I mean come the third one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 You don't like blink? I tend to agree, I don't feel like it fits the world well. Though it will surely be useful for stealthing about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 The use of the same irrelevant clip for each bullet point didn't annoy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 http://store.steampowered.com/app/397550/ Officially sanctioned mod released for original Deus Ex which improved the graphics n tweaks some bits n bobs. I've grabbed it though Witcher 3 so not gonna give it a spin yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 They've pushed release back by quite a bit, now coming August 2016: https://www.deusex.com/news/Deus-Ex-Mankind-Divided-New-Release-Date Their site is down though, so all I know is the above.

TheMightyEthan Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Welp, now I don't have to worry about picking between that and Far Cry Primal anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 That could get delayed too... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 So speculation is, given the timing, that the Paris attacks might have been a bit too close to comfort for parts of the game as it exists now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 If that's the case then I hope the delay is just to put a little bit more time between the attacks and the release, and not to actually make any major changes to the game itself.

toxicitizen Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Meh, it was still far enough that I'm not too bothered. Besides, getting both XCOM 2 and Mankind Divided right around mid-semester would not have ended well for me. I don't need that shit on my last semester, I need to graduate this year! That being said, that seems like a pretty long delay, though. Makes you wonder what kind of state the game was in. I hope the Paris attacks have nothing to do with it. Delaying/changing media content because of real world events just seems kind of idiotic to me... Although, it would be kind of "funny" if the game coincidentally featured some kind of attack in Paris considering what happened with the original.

deanb Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 In the original Deus Ex the skybox didn't include the twin towers in the NYC skyline, the in-game explanation being they'd been destroyed by terrorists some time before. The game came out a year before 9/11. What many folks tend to forget is 9/11 wasn't the only time there was a terrorist attack on the twin towers attempting to knock them down.

toxicitizen Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) The skyline in the NYC area is missing the World Trade Center, because of memory limitations iirc. There's a conversation or datalog that mentions a terrorist attack taking it down. Deus Ex came out in 2000. edit: DAMNIT, DEAN!

TheMightyEthan Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 lol, I know it's not the original, I just think of HR as a reboot kind of, and when you said "original" I took it to mean "first of this new reboot series" for some reason. Invisible War 4 lyfe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Honestly, IW was godawful in every possible way compared to the original but as its own thing it was kind of alright. I enjoyed what I played of it, I would've finished it if only it wasn't so fucking buggy. I got about halfway through it and then out of nowhere some retarded kid NPCs decided I was a big bad man and started running around like a bunch of assholes instead of letting me talk to them. So I got locked out of completing that quest how I wanted to, which pissed me off and made me quit the game for good. I tried going back to it but these days it seems the game likes to completely minimize itself and return you to the desktop for a solid few seconds every single time it needs to load the next area, which is some of the most insanely immersion-breaking shit I've ever experienced. Actually, you know what, I take it back. IW isn't alright at all! It's a piece of fucking garbage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
