Maybe I'm a soft target for this kind of thing, as I even liked the sequel; Deus Ex: Invisible War. Now, if you hang around the internet any, you'll be more than aware that loving the sequel ain't exactly the received opinion.
Okay it wasn't mind blowing, the way Deus Ex was in 2001, but it still scratched that gloomy futures vibe, with plenty of choice and a knowing approach to conspiracy folklore.
Check out the trailer and breathe in that cyberpunk splendour. Bladerunner influence, check. Ghost in the Shell influence, check.
Of course, the idea that all this futuristic goodness could be with us by 2027 is preposterous, but it's insanity of the good kind. It's got all the film noir trappings I like in my sci-fi, so I'll overlook pretty much anything.
Hopefully there'll be more to see at E3, plus there's plenty of time to go before it's early 2011 release date.
I've been playing a little bit of the original Deus Ex too, which I'll post about separately.
