Deux Ex should use the DOOM engine...

The whole Maggie Chow part of the original Deus Ex was really cool. You had to play detective and all that fun stuff. It was also cool being able to sneak into her place and throw her out her 20th story window to the pavement below. If the next Deus Ex was more of the same parnoid strategy rpg action adventure FPS, but with better graphics/sound and fewer bugs, I would be happy.

It would be interesting to see someone make a game like Deus Ex, but make it incorporate a COOP mode, so you and a buddy could play through an intricate storyline together over a LAN or broadband net connection. Coop play is so frickin neglected, and IMO, a single player game like Deus Ex could be adapted to cooperative play.

Okay, ION Austin seems to make pretty good stuff. Has ION Dallas ever made anything any good?

I always wanted JC to say "Just the facts, ma'am."

What I would like with this game is that the developers decide to NOT include game stopping bugs, which I encountered on at least three locations in Deus Ex.
The first time was in New York, where the player must set up a transmitter on the NSF roof or something. After I'd done that, nothing happened. I was supposed to get a message from Walton Simons, but nothing happened. The guards, however, were eager to kill me (as they should), but then when I went to Paul's apartment he wasn't even there. I tried to redo this mission a couple of times but I never got any message from Simons, and after I'd finished the mission it was still there under "primary goals"; however, at least Paul was at his apartment after a couple of tries. This same bug occurred also on the boat the player's supposed to blow up in Hong Kong, and one other time (I don't remember where exactly now, though). Mildly frustrating. Did anyone else experience this bug?

Oh, and just to reiterate one last time, make sure to make Deus Ex 2, at least twice as paranoid as the original game. I want more of that "X-Files on LSD" feel to the game.

Oh, oh, another obvious suggestion would be to make the plot in the sequal even more non-linear. The major example in the original Deus Ex was that you wouldn't stay loyal to UNATCO, which many people wanted to do. I realize that it requires allot of additional work for the developers, but IMO it would have been worth it for Deus Ex to be able to continue to stay loyal to UNATCO.

Whenever I play this game I start to develop a "conking on the head" problem. No matter where I'm at ingame I just turn on the combat strength aug and start conking people on the head. Eventually a bunch of angry cops or unatco troops come after me....It's alot of fun

proper openGL support.

I thought he wanted opinions and not complaints? Sounds like a jaded gamers hangout.
Personally I liked Deus Ex a LOT. Of course given my teenager attn span, I got bored with its longevity, however I finished it still. Wonder what ending they are gonna branch off of? Should be interesting whichever scenario they continue.

Oh btw I'd like some higher detail models with a few more polys.

I would like to see a better voice for JC. The last actor didn't sound normal.

I would like faster loading times, but the new engine should help that.

And I would like for the auto-save to actually save your game. Remember when you would enter a new level, it would say "Saving" then "Loading?" I relied on that "saving" the first time I went through the game. After the first death (which actually took awhile) I went to load the last level only to find an empty screen where all those saves should've been. Now I quick save every new level I get into, and that's a pain.

I also would like room for more augs. I wanted so many augs that occupy the same slot in Deus Ex, but I had to sacrifice. I know that's part of the game, and I respect that, but nonetheless - I still want it.

Other than those (unless I think of some more) I want DE2 to be very very close to the original. Everything was done perfectly in my opinion, and if they can replicate that in a sequel, hats off to them.

heya, jedi knight r0x

thanks fer gettin me in

I'd like to see titties, explosions, and an inventory system that doesn't suck the poo-poo.

Now featuring even worse voice characterizations!!

i'd like to see some ACTION and no stupid puzzles.

* uncontrollably spooges*

I will trade a testicle for Deus Ex 2.
Thank you.

I would like Deus Ex 2 to be just like Deus Ex, only bigger and better. :)

I bet they already have insider information from guys who claim it'll suck

"We have absolutely no new information and havent seen the game in action but we'll call this a preview so people will hit the page"
