I think we all know that Deus Ex is so way ahead of everything else I shouldn't really be suggesting this and should just let the guys and gals at Ion Storm get on with it. But what was BAD about Deus Ex? Personally I really have to think about this.
Although it would be better if your long trusted friends didn't shoot you when you pulled a gun on some unknown in a bar. So that's one thing they could change for the sequel. Maybe less freaky monsters...oh, and no immortal characters up until a certain point when they suddenly become killable. For example, who knew that you could kill Anna on the plane? I didn't.
Anything else? :)

Lots. AI were slightly dodgy, graphics could be made better, using multitools and lockpicks could be made better, etc etc. Trust me, there's always a lot to improve in any game. Even if there was nothing wrong with Deus Ex, which I don't believe, than that doesn't mean things which weren't bad can't be made better.

There are flaws in Deus Ex, no doubt. Perfection is a fixed state, one us mere humans will never achieve. However these flaws do not overmount the the brilliance the exists in it. Hence its percieved perfection as a game. ISA will no doubt develop the weaker aspects of the original as well as enhancing the already sublime.
Here's hoping.

hey, spector, i got two words for ya: Deus Sex. an erotic expansion to DX. you would probably sell a few million copies. think about it, man. maggie chow mentioned that she "persuaded"(can't quite think how to spell that right now) paul to join her side. just imagine this(this'll be a cutscene):
A high female government official has gone over to the terrorsits, and JC has been dispatched to assasinate her. He gets to the building across from her apartment, picks up the waiting sniper rifle, aims at the only visible window, her bathroom, and she's in there taking a shower :eek: . Despite all of JC's nanotechnology, he can't help but get a little excited. He forgets that his laser sight is on and just watches her. Well, she sees the red dot and turns towards the window. JC is still mesmerized(can't quite think how to spell that, either) and doesn't shoot. The girl begins to rub herself. "A, f*ck the assasination, les git it on!" JC shouts, and aug jumps into her bathroom. Skinimax style sex ensues.
shiat, i'd buy a crappy game just for a sex scene, so imagine a good game having them in it. this will be even better if you could pick a female character...
and, while your at it, articulate the breasts so that they bounce when the females run. double :eek:

Your last comment makes a valid point, Bionicman, about one of the main problems with Deus Ex: the lack of realistic and varied model animations. I would like to see new and better animations in the areas of dodging, rolling, suprise, and idleness; not to mention specific immersive animations like writing, typing, eating/drinking, searching, cowering, etc. More death/hit animations that correspond to location and direction would also help the immersion.
And the boobs thing would probably be cool, too... :)

I can only find one big flaw in Deus Ex. I've played the game several times now and there is only one thing that keeps bugging mee. You can shoot down an MJ12 Trooper and his friends won't even miss him. Also they will walk past his dead body withoug noticing him. I've only seen one scene where someone notices a dead MJ12 Trooper. That was in Paris, and that poor policeman completely freaked out ;)

Better AI and more skills/augs would be nice. That combined with another great plot is all I want.

It really bugged me how some of the models feet wouldn't reach the floor when they were sitting in a chair. Like when you meet the Doctor guy in Paris. He looks like some freaky child but with the head of an adult. Eeeeew.
Some ears would be nice.
Lips too, while you're at it.
Since we're all on about boobs how about some bigger baskets on the terrorist dudes. Nothing can quite compare with mortal danger coupled with nice baskets. And make their butts bigger.
Bionicman on 1/9/2001 at 03:42
erm....baskets? i assume you mean breasts...but then it gets even weirder whn you say they should be bigger on the dudes...then you ask for bigger asses... <IMG SRC="erm.gif" border="0">
it's okay to use slang, just don't invent your own, gigila-jucker!
one thing that really irked me...
are there no fat women in the future??? i mean, come on, i appreciate that every woman you encounter is a sexy mama...but there's gotta be other fat women in the world other than the mamassan and maid models...and while we're on the subject of maids, make THEM thin...and french...and wear exceptionally short dresses. and ANOTHER thing that irked me...do only white panties exist in the future? i wanna see some polka-dots, dammit! oh, and not every woman likes to wear panties, if you get my drift *cough* maggie chow *cough*. she had some fine lookin legs...made me wanna be paul...damn him...
boy howdy, you can tell i need a girlfriend, huh?

Lol, you sure do..
But you should understand this, that in the future the pharamcists probably would have a Mega-Lose-Weight-Pill.. that instantly make u drop 40 pounds.. or something.. or the aspect that the world order has terminated companies as McDonalds <IMG SRC="shake.gif" border="0"> and all the rest.. (yeah right)..
hmm.. they should use a realistic engine, that makes almost everything destroyable (a la Red Faction) and a great Physics engine on that, would be nice with "deep" textures too. Like grass, your feet become slightly absorbed by it. and so on..
Some Multifunctional entities woulden't be wrong eighter. Example: A Glass and Steel door.. pop the glass and the door still works. .. pop the hinges of the door and it falls naturaly. and so on.. Get my picture?
