I'm ashamed at myself for never finishing Deus Ex. I've installed and played it a dozen times (and still remember there's a crate in the water at the dock at the very beginning with either a lockpick or ammo) but my video game OCD always gets the best of me in that game. Not being able to do a level perfectly or poor training easily get the best of me.

It's also fairly difficult early on with your stats being low, was always tweaky when trying to play on OS X (you needed classic installed, which isn't possible now with Leopard on my PPC machine) which And my machine wasn't really suited for games (nearly 10 years old now).

Back in the day, when I was young and foolish, I did cheat to get far in the game, but couldn't bring myself to beat it with my I'll gotten gains.

Maybe it's time to try and get it for XP this time around. If I do, it could get close to my Diablo II/Starcraft reinstallation amounts. #warrenspector

Video of Harvey Smith being interviewed by Warren Spector.

Harvey Smith being the gang bang commander, for the anal choo-choo train, ran on Deus Ex. More commonly known as Deus Ex 2 in polite company.

@Xusder: I never uninstalled it in the first place. And this is a new computer here.

I got the game free on a (now extinct) Computer Gaming World mag DVD. #warrenspector

@Xusder: @mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta: It's kind of embarrassing but I never played Deus Ex, and bought Invisible War at a GameStop buy 2 get1 free sale and despite hearing a lot of good things, basically never played it until a couple months again when my 360 was in the shop (again) and I got the old Xbox out. All I can say is, thank you Microsoft for putting out a defective product. I love that Spector and his wife have been kicking around ideas for more Deus Ex stories.

Also, it slipped by me that he was working on Epic Mickey, which I'd sort of been skeptically curious about, but now am interested.

@syafiqjabar of Mars: I actually lost my original disc, so I havent played it in a while.

Now I must buy it from either Steam/GoG.

Warren Spector, YOU KEEP TAKING MY MONEY!

(Well, Ion Storm is no more, so that doesn't make any sense, lol.) #warrenspector

Loved both games and would love to see him allowed back to do more with the series, espeically if its just going to go to waste at Eidos. #warrenspector

@Scazza: "Both games"? There's only one Deus Ex game. They definitely did not make some god-awful, atrociously designed, poorly written and unforgivably watered down sequel. Thank goodness for that. I imagine if they had, it would have been called invisible something or other. But they didn't, so it wasn't. Phew.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I appear to be choking on my own rage. For some totally unconnected reason, no doubt. #warrenspector

@M*A*S*H: stand back fool, I've got a server browser!: Kinda like how there are only two games in the No One Lives Forever universe. Only two. I think there was a game that had something to do with it, but I can't be sure, not that I would care enough to be sure, even if I could be. Which I can't. #warrenspector

@M*A*S*H: stand back fool, I've got a server browser!: Please invite me into your magical universe where everything is so yummy-wonderful that Invisible War counts as god-awful and atrociously designed. Maybe I'm just lucky for not having played the original, and I can't muster up the disappointed rage of the trufan, but Invisible War is still an exceptional game, even if it doesn't measure up to the genital-withering heights of the original. #warrenspector

Hmmmm... it's hard not to get one's hopes up for this bad boy. I just want to reiterate one word from the above post to all of you salivating fanboys out there:

Eidos.

It's probably a good idea to temper our expectations a little. Concept art is concept art. My real question is, why is this on Kotaku and not a Game Informer cover story... they don't need stinking screenshots or gameplay to tell you how awesome the developers think their game is going to be.

Just butterscotch and dreams...

That second piece of concept artwork is partially based of a Burger King in Montreal.

I shit you not. For those of you in Montreal, it's the one across the street from The Bay near Phillips Square - near Future Shop and Gamebuzz, and Microbytes and Complexe Les Ailes where the EB Games is.

Only in this painting Phillips Square has been replaced by a giant building of the future!

You can see the BK in the background on the right, look for the strip of red. However the painting is from a different angle and much closer.

The sign in one screenshot ([www.gamereactor.eu]) has some of the usual poorly-researched Japanese on it that Blade Runner itself suffered from.

"Put on gloves"? Is that supposed to be a store or station or what?

The setting and design is about as spot on as I could have hoped for in a sequel to the Deus Ex series.

Deus Ex (1) gameplay + Blade Runner-esque environment + Current gen hardware = BLISS. Divide all that by Warren Spectre's imagination and I have no idea what we're getting.

@WonkersWatilla:

How can you derive what the gameplay is going to entail when there's been nothing but concept art?

And Warren Spector has nothing to do with this game, so don't get your hopes up: he works for Disney now.

looks more like to me their doing the same thing they did with DE IW, and trying for more than they can handle, all the while steering as far away from the original RPG/FPS combo the original game was just to make it more "accessible" to the masses

@GrimCW: You can tell all that from two static images?!? Give me your eyes so that I can see beyond pictures and into the minds of people who are working on projects that people who have nothing to do with gameplay have drawn pictures of!
