If you throw an object--or if it's accidentally bumped to the floor--there are a number of factors that go into creating the sound of one object impacting on another, including the object's mass, material, velocity, and angle of impact. A simple example is that a cardboard box sounds different when it hits a wall than a rubber bucket does, and pushing a heavy chair across a wood floor is different than if the floor were metal. Spector said that this is quite likely the first game to have such dynamic audio.

Not that I enjoy contradicting Warren Spector but Trespasser had this years ago?!

In a couple hours I'll be firing up Deus Ex for the first time ever. Just finished installing it and patching it.

I played the demo when it first came out but haven't played the full game yet. Can't wait.

Is Deus Ex 2 going to have the conspiracy stuff that the first Deus Ex had? I thought that was one of the best parts of the game. What other game offers the conspiracy and paranoia thing besides Deus Ex?

The original Deus Ex was loaded with flaws, but the pure genius of the game overpowered every flaw! One of the major flaws was how they gave away teh story in the begining with that cinema. Other flaws include poor animations, sounds, and bugs.

I just pray that they aren't removing the conspiracy stuff, which is what made DX so unique.

out of curiousity I decided to give Deus Ex a try on winex on Linux, and am surprised and impressed to say it runs almost flawlessly. The only issue I've got is a split second delay on sound -- looking into it. I doubt any of you care, but I thought I'd share.

Even with some major flaws, DX is my favorite game.
I can't imagine how great it'll be without those flaws.
Perfect game, I guess :)
Perfect to test the power of the rig I'll buy this summer....
