Decline Deus Ex: The Fall - released on PC

[Infinitron]

http://gamebanshee.com/news/110885-deus-ex-the-fall-domains-registered-by-square-enix.html

After spotting some domain registrations that likely indicate that "Deus Ex: Human Defiance" is the title of the Deus Ex Movie internet sleuth Superannuation is at it again, and this time he spotted some mysterious "Deus Ex: The Fall" domains registered, which he then goes on to speculate might actually be the Deus Ex: Human Revolution successor.

At this point there's really little to discuss, as we don't know exactly what these domains have been registered for, so I'll go on and say that "The Fall" is a marginally more interesting subtitle than "Human Defiance".

Will it be a game this time?

The Fall... ooooh, you mean like Icarus? Nudge nudge wink wink

 

[CrustyBot]

Maybe one of the suits at Square Enix is a Codexer, but felt that Deus Ex: The Decline was a bit too obvious.

 

[Roguey]

A Deus Ex trilogy wherein the second game is a direct predecessor to the remake of the first.

A Deus Ex trilogy wherein the second game is a direct predecessor to the remake of the first.

Considering Deus Ex took place after a social and economic collapse, that's not a bad idea. Would be interesting to see a game explore that. Only problem is, it has to be more consistent with the original game's lore that way, and I would also hope it's not just a retread of the same ideas in Human Revolution.

 

[DalekFlay]

I really doubt they will remake the original. If for no other reason than the team will want to be more creative. I do bet this ends up being a trilogy that ends at the original game's doorstep though.

It would be cool to try and fight all these conspiracies but then ultimately lose and the grey death gets released no matter what you do.

It means Deus Ex: The Fail. In before shitstorm of jokes.

They would do some weird hopeful ending where Jensen hands off the reigns of saving the world from Majestic 12 to his clones, Paul and JC. I guess it wouldn't even break continuity if Paul and Adam knew each other, right?

Wait... Paul as playable character in the third game?

 

[BobtheTree]

In before shitty mobile infinite run Deus Ex game announced.

Actually I wouldn't even mind them remaking the original eventually, providing it would be mostly a cosmetic and a bit of a mechanical overhaul, leaving story, characters and location layouts mostly intact.

This way it could even end up better than original.

You know that's not gonna happen.

 

[Gerrard]

Well it's not hard to improve the original, it just requires the people doing it having a brain.

Oh wait.

Anyway, it would not be financially viable because you can't punch through walls.

 

[ohWOW]

How about "Deus Ex: I don't care"

 

[Keshik]

I read this as Deus Ex : The Fail.

Yeah, but in terms of visual style and good part of mechanics DX:HR is superior to DX1.

If only its devs realized their failings, and stuck faithfully to what's given in those areas...

 

[deuxhero]

Yeah, but in terms of visual style DX:HR is superior to DX1.

Fuck no it isn't.

DX1's graphics were pretty bad, but they hold stable in an era where a lot of things wound up looking like shit.

HR's graphics ignore how the human eye works. Making a game mostly yellow (noted to cause significantly heavier eye strain compared to other colors) with minimal contrast (trying to distinquish things in that obviously causes eye strain) displayed on a monitor/TV (known even among the most computer iliterate as causing eyestrain) results in something LITERALLY physically painful to look at for a long period of time. Not many games can say that.

 

[Gord]

Hm, maybe you should get a new monitor.

Anyway, I'm mildly optimistic, as DX:HR was nice and the Missing Link improved on that.
OTOH, the news about Thi4f look grim. Hope it's another, different team.

 

[Tzaero]

The space of the twenty or so years between does have quite a few interesting things happening.

-The earthquake on the East coast that destroys San Francisco and submerging LA into the sea.
-Many epidemics of new lethal diseases occur.
-The Northwest War, a series of succession attempts.
-The consolidation of Illuminati power in Asia, Eastern Europe, South America.
-The Rise of the NSF
-Economic Recession '46


Very unlikely to be Post-Deus Ex - Pre-Invisible War, after all civillisation definately fell at the end.

It's not my monitor, it's how monitors work in general.

 

[Shadenuat]

Yeah, but in terms of visual style and good part of mechanics DX:HR is superior to DX1.

Now I'm not sure if DraQ is serious or not. HR has everything Squire Enix production values and modern engine can give it, but I would prefer pragmatic, cold, lifeless world bathing in neon to the yellow blot HR throwed me in. And mechanics too? I am not sure how it's better than in the original.

 

[Menckenstein]

I liked DXHR and if they made another game and improved on the things that were terrible (some of which were acknowledged) I think I'd buy that one Morgoth style.

 

[DalekFlay]

It's not my monitor, it's how monitors work in general.

This is like the whole FOV thing, and motion sickness thing, and 60fps thing and whatever else though. Just because you had eye strain issues doesn't mean others did. I played HR through from beginning to end 3 times and never had eye issues with it.

 

[deuxhero]

Then your eyes are more resistant too it, but that doesn't change how awful the filter is for them.

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

I like Human Defiance a lot better than The Fall. "The Fall" is too damn generic.

Why do I have a feeling that "The Fall" might actually be the movie? Producers usually like this "I fell, I'm down on luck, I will go kick ass" generic kind of plot, but it is mostly used in dick flicks.
Some available details (e.g. cop-protagonist) fit that idea.
That's way too predictable, but can be true.
