In Deus Ex 2 taking the stealthy route will be a much more enjoyable experience. That said, a slew of new ordnance is also to be included for trigger-happy Deus Ex-kateers, but all the developers are saying about those at the moment is that they will be "devilish, just evil". Which is no help. Technologically Ion Storm is starting from scratch, licensing in the most advanced middleware available for both graphics Unreal Warfare engine and physics Ireland-based Havok engine , as well as dedicating crack in-house teams to Al, sound, graphics and modelling.
In DX2 bounce attacks will be'possible, including lasers off mirrors, and concussive attacks that knock things over. Bodies and other objects will bounce more correctly looks good on the skyscraper front then - Ed and climbing will become more of an issue. The storyline is a closely guarded secret at the moment, though we do know that DX2 is to be set some 15 years after the original, and will feature the return of JC Denton in some way. An older, fatter JC Denton?
Now that would be funny. Austin, Texas n the US of A. Just north of the Lone Star State's gleaming capital lies Dallas, which on November 22,, became the notorious setting for the assassination of president John F Kennedy.
Ask anyone. I absolutely do not believe in conspiracies. PC is here at Ion Storm Austin with studio director Warren Spector to playtest the latest build of one of the most eagerty-awaited sequels in videogame history -Deus Ex 2: Invisible War. The development team, which also includes producer Bill Money and project director Harvey Smith, is understandably excited about showing off the new game, which has only very recently come together in playable form.
As atmospheric electronic music kicks in, the camera zooms into a scene in downtown Chicago where a figure is desperately evading the attentions of several futuristic helicopters and troopers. The action moves deep within the headquarters of the powerful TARSUS group, where two figures are discussing the appearance of a terrorist who may be targeting their organisation. Cut back to the streets where a hooded figure steps out into traffic and takes out a Nanite Detonator.
Robots try to tackle the terrorist, but he snaps the purple vial releasing a wave of energy that begins to spread out, disintegrating everything around it. People run away, screaming bnefly before they are destroyed in a millisecond, as the two figures from TARSUS manage to escape from the destruction of the city in a waiting helicopter.
We have the cells of human bodies. An invisible weapon for an invisible war. Set 15 years after the onginal Deus Ex. Invisible War delivers a dark, dystopian world in which nano-technology is widespread, and a catastrophic worldwide economic crash has left various sociopolitical factions fighting for power. You play as Alex D, a next-generation clone of JC Denton, and have the choice of being male or female.
Apart from having repercussions on how the game plays, this has also meant a massive amount of work for Ion Storm to implement thousands of voice lines for each gender - as well as options for skin tone, hair and clothing. When asked about which of Deus Ex's original three endings Invisible War has picked up from, Spector insisted that the team keep schtum.
Gamers discover stuff and it really means something to them as they play. Harvey Smith did won't be seeing JC waking up in his apanmem, ruooing the sleep from his augmented eyes and sighing with relief that Deus Ex was all a bad dream.
In RPGs you start the player off fresh, so you can build them up again. But we didn't want to do something cheesy like making the player JC again.
You're playing Alex D who has genetically descended from JC, so you're almost him, but you're still separate. A cool thing is that you can actually take JC on in a fight. He'll be pretty formidable. Ion Storm went on to explain the changes they have made to the nanotechnology upgrade system a techno version of RPG level-ups used to boost your player character. In the original Deus Ex you had a choice of nine augmentations for specific body areas to improve physical attributes, and 11 other skills including lock-picking and computer hacking.
For Invisible War, the skills and augmentations have been unified into a single system known as bio-modifications, that are powered by your rechargeable internal energy supply. Each of the 21 or so bio-mods offers two types of upgrade, such as the choice between a spy drone or enhanced vision for the eyes. In addition, the nine player bio-mod slots have three levels, each with a dramatic change of function.
Alex D's enhanced vision bio-mod, for example, can progress from night vision on level one. You'll also be able to buy black market bio-mods and weapons from a creepy organisation of rubber mask-weanng gangsters called The Omar. Among these illegal upgrades are a very smart bot domination augmentation see I, Robot boxout and a health regeneration drone that coalesces out of thin air and proceeds to look for corpses or unconscious bodies that it can break down into useful cellular material, like a high-tech vampire.
Another new addition is the ability to change any of your bio-mods once they've been installed. Deus Ex: Invisible War continues the globe-trotting nature of the first game, visiting Chicago, Seattle, Antarctica, Cairo, There in Germany and another unrevealed final location. Returning characters such as the Hong Kong scientist Tracer Tong being kept alive by life-extending nano-bots , now have realistic facial expressions and deep scars that catch the light, while soldiers have combat fatigues that wrinkle.
On top of this, metal robots and rubber floors really look like they are made from real materials, complete with shadows that move correctly across their surfaces.
Every light in DX2 is dynamic rather than fixed, which apparently comes at no extra performance cost - Ion Storm is working towards 30fps running on a minimum spec PC of around a Pentium III and GeForce 3-level graphics card. An explosion in a room will cause the light fittings to sway, changing shadows in realtime. Flares can be used by your character to illuminate dark areas and new flying hunter-killer robots with built-in lights can throw their beam on you to reveal your supposedly well-hidden position.
Although Ion Storm refers to it as 'version 1. For example, if shot at. In Deus Ex, death animations were pre-animated, so that enemies who died side-by-side would assume the same pose, as well as sticking out over ledges and stairways in a highly unconvincing impression of rigor-mortis.
Not anymore. Human and robot characters are now modelled in 3D and given a mass and weight in the virtual environment, with certain physical restrictions to prevent arms from bending the wrong way or turning people into squid see the physics special report on page 16 for more details.
The genius of Invisible War, like Deus Ex, is that decisions you make at particular points in the game will have massive repercussions on what happens next. Your allegiances change considerably as part of multi-branching storylines that will present the player with no less than four different endings.
And which organisation you team up with ultimately affects your relationship with the others. The Templars, and the corporation that shields Alex D at the beginning of the game. And did we mention JC Denton?
After the excellent demonstration of the game by the DX2 team, there was only one thing left to do - play it. Ion Storm gave us a unique hands-on play of a level set in the Seattle penthouse apartment of a character called the Minister of Culture. We began outside the door of the Minister's gaff and decided to try to con the security guard to let us in, using Deus Ex's adventure-style speech interface to speak into the intercom.
No luck. Up top. This was where we could test out the new ability to add modifications to weapons, allowing you to custom-make your own armoury. Taking place 20 years after the events in Deus Ex, Invisible War reveals a futuristic world where basic needs are left unmet.
It is a world on the brink of chaos after the dismantling of the mighty biotech corporations, a world where multiple religious and political groups now lust after power. Thus begins the sequel to 's critically acclaimed first-person shooter, which finds players investigating the different factions struggling for control to determine which groups are beneficial and which are a threat.
Enhancements to the core engine include a retooled physics system, refined AI, added character animation, and more choices on the part of the player. As in the original game, the style of play helps shape the game as it progresses, from how characters interact with the protagonist to the types of situations encountered. Each potential conflict can be resolved in a number of ways, through peaceful means or through violence, using stealth or a show of force. Characters can once again outfit their bodies with an array of biotech parts, some of which include the ability to see through walls, disappear from radar, regenerate from critical hits, or jump 40 feet in the air.
The non-linear story takes players from Seattle to remote locations in Cairo and Antarctica. Invisible War takes place in , 20 years after both the events of Deus Ex and the worldwide economic catastrophe known as the Great Collapse. You play as Alex D, a nanotech-augmented agent-in-training of player-dictated gender who's just had a very nasty escape from Chicago. It seems that a suicidal terrorist triggered a horrifically destructive nanite detonator in the center of the Windy City, with the sole purpose of wiping out Tarsus Academy, the special school where Alex and friends are training.
They'll soon find themselves pulled between several diametrically opposed factions, each with different visions of how the post-Collapse world should be shaped.
As Alex D, it's up to you to choose sides and use your enhanced abilities to make a difference in this high-tech, vicious, and Invisible War. Deus Ex: Invisible War is far from a conventional sequel. Ion Storm has sought to refine and consolidate many of the features of the first game to create a more accessible experience, and in this it's definitely succeeded.
For example, there are only a handful of keys to bind, making Invisible War's controls remarkably simple for a first-person adventure of such depth. The interface, too, is friendly and extremely useable, outside of maybe a few oversights related to the inventory screen and mouse support. Compared to the hardcore-slanting PC original, Invisible War is the very definition of pick up and play.
However, some of the more dramatic gameplay changes will likely cause some controversy. Ammo, for example, is now unified; one single type feeds every gun in the game. There are no more robot-killing sabot rounds, no more useless flare darts -- one type fits all. Biomod abilities tied to abilities such as cloaking use up the a portion of the player's energy bar when activated.
Invisible War is set in the year , twenty years after the events of the original Deus Ex ; the Deus Ex series is set in a cyberpunk future rife with secret organizations and conspiracies such as the Illuminati and Majestic 12, an Illuminati splinter faction. Page intended to make himself a global dictator by first undermining the Illuminati by creating a pandemic to blackmail the world's elite into supporting Majestic 12, then merging himself with the artificial intelligence AI Helios.
Following the Collapse, major capitals organize themselves into city states, creating walled enclaves where the population can be watched and expansion is closely controlled. Spirited away shortly before the events of Deus Ex , Alex is raised in Chicago before being inducted into the Tarsus Academy, a group controlled by the Denton-created ApostleCorp. At Tarsus, Alex is trained in the use of biomods. The students are overseen by Leila Nassif.
There are several factions within Invisible War that Alex is contacted by and can choose to side with and represent different viewpoints on how humanity's post-Collapse society should develop. Note: While the general plot of Invisible War follows a distinct path, many elements such as faction alliances and character interactions are subject to the player's decisions. The game also offers several subplots and explanations which the player may or may not encounter, depending on their actions within the game.
This synopsis concentrates on the main, unavoidable plot thread of the game. The game opens after a terrorist attack on Chicago by the Knights Templar: a nanite bomb turns the entire city into grey goo, with the staff and trainees of the city's Tarsus Academy facility barely escaping in time [11] [12] to Tarsus' Seattle facility. After that too is attacked by terrorists, Alex discovers with Billie's help that Tarsus has been observing their trainees in secret under the guidance of Nassif, escapes the facility and is subsequently offered missions by Tarsus, the Order, the WTO, and the Omar.
During these missions, Alex learns that their biomods were created by ApostleCorp, and follows Nassif from Seattle to Cairo, which is being disrupted by fighting between the factions. Alex's fellow students follow different paths during the narrative; Billie initially allies with the Order before joining the Knights Templar, Klara joins the WTO, while Leo becomes involved with the Omar and can become an unwilling convert.
After locating Nassif, Alex learns that they are part of JC's plan to distribute their biomod technology worldwide, and that JC is currently incapacitated due to his own augmentations clashing with Helios.
Alex goes to Trier to use a teleportation gate to reach JC's hiding place in Antarctica. While in Trier, Alex meets up with Tong and is sent to save key figures from being killed by the Templars, learning of the Illuminati's involvement. After activating the teleportation gate and reaching Antarctica, Alex is confronted by Billie and then revives JC.
JC explains his plan of connecting all of humanity to Helios using Alex's biomods, paving the way for an ideal democracy. Alex is sent to Cairo to revive Paul with their compatible biomods. There Alex has the option of saving Paul, killing him under orders from Dumier, or handing him over to Samar. Brought by JC's agents to Liberty Island, Alex learns that the island holds an old part of the pre-Collapse worldwide communication network which can be used by each faction.
No matter what choices Alex has made up to now, they can choose to side with any faction, or kill all the leaders on Liberty Island.
If Alex follows JC's plan, the biomods are distributed worldwide, giving Helios the ability to access all human thought, allowing it to govern humanity. If Alex sides with the Illuminati, they use the network to help create a global surveillance state where communication and the economy are controlled. If Alex joins the Templars, they help unite humanity under a theocracy where biomod use and those considered impure are ruthlessly suppressed.
Killing all other factions on Liberty Island leads to global chaos, turning Earth into a wasteland dominated by the Omar. Most of the original game's development team returned to develop Invisible War , eager to both tell a new story and refine the original gameplay. There were also relative newcomers who had worked on the original game's PlayStation 2 PS2 port. Bare had been involved in the later development of Deus Ex , and despite his lack of experience as a designer was given the role when more qualified staff members were unavailable.
