Whoa some things look better as alpha channel shader textured patches, mmkay! Look at that plant in the pic! It looks like it's made of cardboard. I think that judicious use of old style construction and new style would be the bomb - but it looks like they've gone bumpmap happy. hey it's all good considering all that all I found kind of "off" was a houseplant. well there's other stuff but this is still great looking.

I agree with the idea that Deus Ex was all about game play.

The settings have too many sharp edges. Dynamic lighting is great if setting fits, but when you have the sharp edges the lights just show that up. The character textures are amazing. THIS GAME WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!!!!

I've never liked Deus Ex or Deus Ex 2's art direction. All of the characters look plasticy or exaggerated. The environments aren't scaled correctly (too big). Nothing seems to fit together.

I have notice that all the surfaces that have a specular component in games that use them (eg Doom 3 screenshots, now these) look like plastic. Is this a limitation of the hardware or is it just the particular specularity and glosiness settings? If I had that look in MAX, I'd just tweak the glossiness params to get rid of that. No can do with the current gen 3D cards?

Heh, these shots look a lot brighter and colorful than the original Deus Ex. They don't look quite as gloomy.

These shots look a lil alias'd because they probably chose resolution over using FSAA. Besides, screenshots tend to have that problem, and its not as aparent when playing.

I'm less impressed with these shots that some of the previous ones.

The second shot looks bland. It appears there is a shadow glitch in the third shot, where there is a negative shadows cast by the monster onto the barrel. As someone else posted, the guy's jacket texture is a bit on the low res side. All the shadows look overtly hard.

Overall it looks great, but I'm still less impressed by these screenshots as I am by previous ones.

this is starting to look reeeally nice...the initial screenshots of the game worried me, but it looks more like a Deus Ex game to me now, and I am not entirely sure why.

i hope this game comes out this year!
