Deus Ex 3: Details Out

Deus Ex 3: Details Out

Great news for fans of the original game

The original Deus Ex was an outstanding game, regarded by most as one of the best PC games of all time. The sequel on the other hand was utterly disappointing, filled with bugs and empty gameplay mechanics.

The third iteration is on its way and the first details are out in the latest PC Zone. This is great news for fans of the original game, since the franchise has a lot of potential.

The game is a prequel to the first game and takes place in the year 2027. You play as Adam Jensen, a security guard at a technology lab for Biomechanical research, but events of one particular day, make you far more important. Your office is attacked by a team of Black ops, who slaughter many and leave you stranded to clean up the mess.

The developers believe that this time around the plot is much more intriguing and compliments the first game, in terms of depth and quality. Deus Ex was a landmark in story telling and the guys at Eidos Montreal are making sure that the gamers fell the same way this time around.

Like the first game, Deus Ex 3 will also feature augmentations, an essential part of the gameplay. Augmentations are basically biomechanical upgrades that the player can use to overcome the various obstacles posed by the enemy. The game will have about 20 augmentations including one which will allow the player to punch through walls and grab enemies.

The concept art looks really promising, combined with the gritty-but-awesome Unreal 3 engine, I think we can expect a visual delight. The game has been made console friendly which is pretty evident from its use of a call-of-duty style auto heal as well as the gears-of-war style cover system.

Gone are the days of health kits and lurking in the shadows, but then this is the age of the consoles and DRM. So what are your thoughts?
