Deus Ex 3 announced

*facepalm*

As long they don't dumb-down the game for consoles (like they did with IW), it would be a great idea. I enjoyed IW, but only in the context that it was a Deus Ex game in name only.

I thought everyone got turned into happy collective-thought zombies in the canon ending?

[Kekvit Irae]

The original Deus Ex? I know that two of the three endings are both canon (not sure about the third, haven't played IW in some time). Trying to figure out which ending is "more" canon is hell on earth.

Crap, when I saw the thread title I thought this was a thread about good news... Sad if it'll be another dumbed down console-adapted title

I liked invisable war, the mood was spot on and the story was good enough to hook me from start to finish. It was a mistake to remove the grid system and stat-building but overal a good game. Not as good as the first, Deus ex was a masterpiece and these are very rare, but the best parts of IW, antartica in particular were absolutily awesome.

Hmm if IW was a massive departure from the first maybe I should try it. I hated Deus Ex.

You will probably hate IW even more then. What didn't you like about the first? It's an absolute masterpiece imho, even if it has flaws.

Oh no you didn't.

Wouldn't go so far as to say I liked Invisible War, but I certainly didn't think it a bad game. It just couldn't live up to the expectations raised by it's predecessor.

In IW the three endings were:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

1) Everyone's noggins are zapped, making them all either super human or slave drones to a super computer. 2) the "Templars" seize power and go on a universal witch hunt, removing all biomods, and killing those who refuse to surrender them. 3) The Illuminati assume power, initiating world-government in some kind of dystopian utopia. and 4) The Omaaagh- *cough* *cough* *wheeze* -ar overthrow everyone, leave the world to tear itself apart, and go on to survive as the sole remnant of Humanity.

Any of them could make for a pretty good story line, tbh.
