I was curious to see how they would integrate more and more of the original Deus Ex characters and themes into upcoming games. Oh well! I would have also liked to have seen the original DE remade in a new engine while leaving the levels and story intact. But I guess you don't need a big studio for that, as the Black Mesa guys have shown. On the other hand, I remember hearing that Black Mesa still cost over a million bucks despite being an amateur project.

I seem to recall liking the gameplay, though. There was some nice stealthing to be had.

I think I remember the big open room having a turret (or something) that you can hack and it murders a bunch of guards before they destroy it. At least that was mildly amusing.

Gunther having a head-cannon (skul-gun) was part of his internal head-canon

Couldn't they just give the game the Black Mesa treatment? I mean, managing an indie project like that is supposedly like herding brain-damaged cats but still.

I thought Scholtz would come by and do some sort of commemorative speech but oh well

This is the game that refuses to die. In 2121 they'll make a mod that lets people play Deus Ex on hyperspace non-euclidean CPUs that beam content directly into your brain.

Watching a walkthrough of DX1 and the guy encounters a 7-digit gatecode and is like "lol what if I try 867-5309?" The look on his face when it actually works is classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE-NmjKw4pU&t=1151s (19:10 if the timestamp doesn't work)

Is there something in particular that needs to be done to get access to Anna Navarre's and Gunther's killphrase? I'm at UNATCO HQ just after the Lebedev encounter. I know you're supposed to log in to their PC (ghermann, zeitgeist) and then Manderley's to get both halves. But I get an "invalid login" message on Gunther's PC. It's kind of weird; do I need to maybe talk to someone first to trigger it? Is this too late in the game to get it? I tried loading an earlier save, but no deal. This is on Revision, so I was wondering if it was just buggy but they have a cheevo for using the killphrases so it must work.

Helianthus Annuus posted:it's not in a computer email afaik, you get gunther's phrase by leaving Jaime behind at unatco instead of encouraging him to visit hong kong Yes that's true and I'll keep my (augmented) eyeballs peeled for that. But I'm pretty sure Anna's is in an email: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=907997830 Not a big deal but I never tried it before in previous playthroughs and wanted to see it.

Forget Jensen, the next game should place in 2051 and have you playing as Paul Denton. I think there should also be a sidescroller named 'Gunther Hermann Adventures'.

Maybe something closer to the 'Paul moment' in HR is whether or not you get the firmware update for your augs. The game pushes you to get it by having your UI glitch out a bunch of times; and then if you do, the last boss gets to dunk on you somewhat. It's probably unusual to avoid the upgrade unless you go in knowing what it actually does. Mind you, they feed you a bunch of hints that LIMB is pretty nefarious, so it's still a bit contrived.

Thief 3 still has tiny maps compared to the first two, though - but I guess that's to be expected. At least if you use the Sneaky Upgrade to get rid of the loading screens, they feel more properly Thief-like.
