And if it isn't too much trouble for you, yeah, a short, brief paragraph or two would be great... If it's inconvenient, no problems :)

And yeah, I'm gonna mention you in the special thanks at the end of the second post :D

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"]It's going to score AAA. RPG of the year, maybe.donalbane

Thanks for that link, mate, I'm definitely adding that to the OP :D

I usually don't hype games but I expect this to be AAA

Here are some extra links :

Sarif Industries Trailer

Michael McCann - Sarif Industries Theme

Also, to those people put off by the highlighting in the game can rejoice. Highlighting is now purely optional :)

For the Adam Jensen character bio.



For the Yelena Federova character bio.



For the Jaron Namir character bio



For the Lawrence Barrett character bio (note how he is named after Barrett in FF 7, a character who also has a mechanical arm)

Just deleted it from my hard drive. Damm this game is addictive. I haven't been this involved in a game since KOTOR. The attention to detail is astounding. One example would be in a particular mission where you have the specific choice to be lethal or non-lethal. I literally killed every single enemy and when I returned some people made really sarcastic, moralising and sometimes amusing comments about how I killed everyone. I played the same mission without being lethal and other people criticize me for not being forceful enough. It's hard to describe. And the AI is some of the best I've ever seen too. I just hope you can import your save games from the leak into the retail game. ocstew

OP has been updated again, more info has been added, and links to three new videos have been posted (all thanks to fend_oblivion- thanks a ton, man! :D )khoofia_pika

AAA for me. I really like the concept and setting of Deus Ex and it the shame that the first is pretty much outdated for me, so I am going to give the series another go with this one and I very impress with the things I see and hear. Just need to get going to preorder the PC LE edition at gamestop (I probably do it this weekend).

Too badI can't download Icarus on the Deus Ex site.:( I love the song and they had it for download but the link is broken or something.

Did anyone here read the Icarus effect novel? Reading that book alone would get anyone hyped for HRlawlessx

That link is good enough, thanks.:D God this song is so awesome and the Sarif Industries theme is good too. Can't wait to hear more of the soundtrack.

This game will score a 7.5.madmidnight

No, that would be InFLOPmous 2.

I don't think there's any doubt this game's going to score anything but a 9 or above if the videos and player impressions are anything to go by. Usually you'll always hear nothing but complaints from people when playing a game, and while I've heard some about the demo, they seem to be miniscule and tiny nitpicks in a sea of optimism and positive feedback. Everything I've heard has been extremely positive. And this is just from a leak. That the developers are listening to us gamers is great as well (making highlighting objects optionable) and gives me even more assurance this will be a worthy successor to the original.

I have a gut feeling this is going to come out of left field and surprise everybody with how good it is. Maybe not GotY, but I wouldn't count out a 9.5 even.

Check your mail now. I've sent the song :)

EDIT : Uh oh, apparently your email id doesn't exist. I copied your email id (and removed the space). Resend me your email id and check to see if you've made a typo.

Well I'm not going to get a heart attack if the game gets 8.5, after all GS has a reputation for handing out a lot of 8.5s these days. But I will be surprised, since the only real flaw I can see with the game are the graphics. ocstew

Didn't Deus Ex have a cult following? Why isn't this game even remotely known?ocstew

Although I don't go by reviews, i'm waiting for some before I get too excited.

That being said, all I want is a general overview on how it plays, if it's got a terrible framerate and such.
