no Warren Spector makes me a bit wary, but I doubt it can be as bland as Invisible War was.

Thank fuck it wasn't just me who wasn't very impressed by invisible War.

DX2 was really messed up, but I loved DX1. I even thought of remaking it on Source... That would need a killer amount of time though.

DX:IW sucked big donky balls, but that's what you get for developing a game for

1) Xbox
2) Pc's which were by then much superior to the consoles.

It felt like a horrible console game, the whole "modular ammo" was crap as well, pretty much meant you had nothing at the start of the game and no choice. I did not agree with the inital plot choice either.

I perhaps played about half and hour to an hour as it really got on my fucking tits.

DX:3....well, I don't know who's in this team, hopefully it's staffed by people who love the first game, either way at least with it being developed for current consoles (main interest is 360 due to having roughly same codebase as pc) it should be alright on PC in terms of looks and performance.

I just hope they do what KOTOR did and delay the PC by a few months to tweak and optimise it rather than having a straight console port.

I'll probably get it when it's out unless it's really dire.

I beat IW (thanks to a bug that let me carry large amounts of multitools), but only to find out the whole plot of it. it was not great, and considering its heritage it's a dismal failure. the universal ammo thing is just so FUCKING stupid.

For me Invisible War was so unbelievably bad (practically skull fucking the legacy of the first Deus Ex in fact), that I just can't get excited by this news.

That and the fact that several games have disappointed me recently (Stalker, Bioshock etc).

Invisible War was a big dissapointment but i still finished it. Deus Ex 3 can't possibly be any worse.

The music in the teaser trailer gave me goosebumps

It wasn't bad, but it's missing that multiplayer we all need.

They disappointed me less than all but a couple of the games I bought since. At least I bothered to complete them.

I really enjoyed bioshock. But I did so by ignoring the hype for as long as possible, I didn't spend the outrageous amount of time some did getting hard over it and consequently didn't get quite the same disappointment.

Although it started out as a quite hard, not much ammo game that turned into a 'I am god, taste my wrath' game, and was really short, it still impressed me. Multiplayer would be rather win, the maps would be great being sub-aquatic leaky mazes of crumbling 50's architecture and the powers would be a good multiplayer hook.

This ^

I rather liked it - the theme was lovely and the story wasn't too bad. I found it getting a bit repetitive towards the end, but that's the only criticism I really have. I don't care about lack of multiplayer.

Bioshock is still my favorite game of the year

I think a multiplayer would make it pure win, it's kind of outrageous how the cupcake developers said that they wanted us to enjoy the (rather boring) storyline instead of a (rather exciting) multiplayer mode.
