I agree with you, the original is easily one of the best games of all time. I think if Deus Ex 2 was called something different and had no connection with Deus Ex, it probably would've felt better. As it was, it was just a little meh.
The original was probably one of the hardest games I've played (although that could be because I was just starting to get into games at the time and wasn't mega experienced) where as DX2 was one of the easiest.
I liked Halo a lot but I just never felt it belonged among the giants of the FPS genre. So many great FPS came before it and did better than it but it really was ground breaking for a console...

As a game, yeah Halo wasn't the best FPS, but I got quite in to the story, it also has one of the best game soundtracks ever and music does A LOT for me in a game.

I also loved the back story in AC!
Yeah I liked the story of the enemies in Halo -- just couldnt get over Master Cheif And all the platis toy looking weapons.
This is the most excited I have been in a long time for a game. I played the first Dues Ex so long ago and it is still one of my all time favorites. This just looks fricken awesome.
my bro in law is playing this ATM. A LOT like MGS..... sneeky, headshots....... looks real nice!!
there are 2 impossible achievements worth 100GS, 1 is never alert alarms and the other is something like don't kill anybody besides bosses. WOW, after watching him for a bit, its HARD!
Cheapest I've seen it online is simplygames.com (I can't get the link atm as the site is barred at work ). £22.85 and I think it's circa £30 on steam?
That's something else I'm not sure about.... I want the game on PC (of course), but my laptop only meets the minimum requirements, not the max. I'm not sure whether to go with the PC or 360 version (which is of course £10 more expensive...).

I face a similar dilema. My laptop will def run it, but I'm not sure how well.
Be handy if there was an official demo kicking about to test.

The fact it was a console port makes me feel a little better about the 360 version. No doubt it looks better on PC like you said ALP, but the graphics department is where my PC is lacking already

I managed Crysis with 2/3rds of settings maxed. Aside from the last level on the boat, that wasn't a very nice experience for me or the laptop. I tried the Brink demo on Steam recently, it didn't like it at all, no matter what settings I tried.

1st generation Core i5 M460 2.53GHz (up to 2.8GHz with turbo boost)
Geforce GT 420M
And then Windows 7, 4GB of RAM, etc.
Nothing spectacular, but then I got this on a student budget

You guys will do fine (I think). My specs arent all that dissimilar.
2 (almost 3?) yr old custom built rig
Core i7 920 2.6 Ghz OC'd to 3.6Ghz
6GB DDR3 RAM @ 1066 -- OC'd to I dunno what
2x Nvidia GTX 260 in SLI (896MB each 1792MB total)
Win 7 x64
Creative X-fi PCI-e
3TB (3x Samsung Spinpoint F1 @7200 RPMs)
I think you guys will be fine as long as you keep AA low and some of the more intensive lighting/shadows Ambient occulsion? Occular occlusion? I forget what it's called but it kills fps for small gains invisual quality. Maybe kill some motion blue and any film grain if they over do those -- I always hate when games toss a bunch of motion blue and film grain in.
I'd bet you can run at full resolution for your PC with high textures and some decent lighting and little to no AA and it would look good at 30+ fps
the game on XBOX wasnt that graphics intensive. crysis was something else, but thats crysis.
the graphics are just pretty snazzy, not amazing
he finished it last night. he said it was an 8/10. reliable rent or purchase for replay value. buy if u want to beat up the game. rent if u want a good story.
NJOI!!!
The Following User Says Thank You to Bramsy For This Useful Post:
I said I can run Crysis on max, but I realised Crysis has a "Very High". It was High I can get away with.
I want a new PC
If it's any consolation I cant run crysis on max either. Which was shocking when I built my system it was some 2 years after crysis came out and my system was pretty good (so I thought) heh

It's the PS3 version they're comparing, but there can't be much difference between PS3 and 360.
I found a gamestation trade in card with just over a tenner on it when I was looking through some old games. In Gamestation, it's £27.99 on the PC so I'm just going to get it on the PC for £16 or whatever. If I have to dumb it down, then so be it.
I think I'll play it safe and get the 360 version. I always seem to spend more time tweaking graphic settings than playing when I buy games that I only just meet the requirements of.
console graphics looked absolutely terrible. idk why, but they havent release PC footage, so i am waiting.
There is lots of PC footage on youtube now that it has been released. Search 'deus ex human revolution pc vs console' and there's a comparison video by IGN.
Obviously a youtube video, with lossy encoding, isn't the ideal way to compare them, but the main difference to me seemed to be the lighting. The pc version has better shadows and made the console version look a bit washed out in comparison. Not that you'd notice that when playing one or the other.

I think the graphics are good so far. Deus Ex was never known for awesome graphics but rather it's awesome blend of FPS/RPG and great wide open sotyr with many plots interweaving.
That said the animations of characters are a bit stiff but it doesnt bother me.
