Forum Overview :: Deus Ex 3 :: This doesn't sound that bad. Let's try read it a different way

[quote name="FABIO"][quote name="Fortinbras"]But he said developer Eidos Montreal would not attempt to dumb down the much-loved RPG-shooter franchise. "[/quote] "The one improvement from DX2 was getting rid of the 'super agent can't aim a pistol' RPG skill system, and faggots screamed and gnashed so much over it you'd figure we were ruining Fallout. So the big challenge now is to scrap as much as that godawful system as we can without tripping the fag alarms." [quote]At this point we don't know exactly which platforms we're going to be out on. The PC, we'll be there for sure. But for us, console-isation isn't about dumbing down features. If we're to go console we will want to keep the complexity alive. We want the menu interface and controller to feel simple without risking any of their potential"[/quote] "We figure we can still make a hefty profit with a single player niche franchise PC only release. Ha ha, just kidding. Holy shit of COURSE there's going to be a console version. We just don't want to remind anyone of the botched DX2 xbox to PC port." [quote]This said, they are doing their utmost to please newcomers as well as existing fans. Perhaps controversially this time around combat won't be influenced by stats, but will rely purely on your personal marksmanship skills. Instead stats will influence "a vast array of fully upgradeable and customisable weapons", and you'll be able to tailor your arsenal to your play style with mag upgrades, scopes and other add-ons.[/quote] "Christ, will you RPG nuts ever be happy until you can actually <b>SEE</b> the dice rolling? Is visually aiming and sticking to shadows too Windows for your Linux?" [quote]What's more, stealth will now rely on a cover system rather than shadows, and damage will be dealt with by a very Call of Duty-style auto-heal. [/quote] I'm reading criticism over this in two different ways: "The main thing holding CoD4 back was not having to jam the quickload button every time you caught a bullet prematurely." or "He mentions a feature present in the original DX, but made the mistake of using a current popular SHOOTER to describe it."[/quote]
