Deus Ex: Clan Wars

[Mr1337Duck]

Crystal Dynamics, some punkass third-party company, is making their own game for the Deus Ex series. It's for Xbox and PS2, and it's a shooter.


That's right, a shooter, no typo.


How the hell do you make a Deus Ex shooter? And where does this "Clan Wars" name come from? There are no clans in Deus Ex. And where do you put this story? It's a little hard to place it after Invisible War, too many variances in plot.

It sounds to me like some guys heard about the story of it and decided to make a shooter even though they never played the game or knew how it's supposed to work. Why Deus Ex? Couldn't you say that society collapsed in 2067 and Clans formed that represented the needs of those who joined them. They occasionally got into wars, and nanotech is one of the technologies that's still around and is produced by the Clans?

You know, something to keep yourself distanced from a good series like Deus Ex with your crappy games?

Way to post a link.

This completes the monumental step-down from the first Deus Ex. Way to trash a series.

[RuskiVodka]

Isn't the publisher still Eidos Interactive?

There is no link, you want a goddamn news story? I look on gamespot and give you a quick rundown. Gimme a break.

Then give the link to that...

I went searching over the net - http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/deusexclanwars/

That is what he is referring too, but you'll only find dust and crumbes.

After reading the INSANELY small amount of information from the link, I can guess this much

Clan Wars is just the WORKING TITLE, NOT THE FINISHED TITLE, just like Project Ego

You will probably not be one of the "dentons", it will probably be a completely different plot, but still inside the Deus Ex universe.

It will be a shooter.

[AztecWarrior]

You just can't be in the Deus Ex world and not have those RPG elements.

[Dharkbayne]

Yeah you can, just like you can play star wars games with no jedi in them.

[AztecWarrior]

Yeah you can, just like you can play with Sputty but without the penis.

What, like... earth?

And saying you can't make Deus Ex into a shooter is like saying you can't make Mario into a karting game. The characters and environments are the same, but essentially the game is different.

[Mr1337Duck]

You would have to be playing as an SSC guard or MJ-12 trooper. Being a nano-aug wouldn't work too well, except maybe in a single player game. And if it's single-player, what happened to stealth, a prime aspect of Deus Ex?

[Kaltagesta]

It's jsut a name of the franchise. Who cares? As i said, Mario Kart has nothing, gameplay wise, to do with the Mario games, it was jsut a game in the franchise. The same goes for this; it's name is Deus Ex, but it isn't a Deus Ex game, just like Mario Karts name is Mario, but it isn't a Mario. No one cried about that.
