A preview of Deus Ex 2 can be found at CVG today. Not too long (not much is really known about the game so far), but nice to read nevertheless. Here's a bit:
Technologically Ion Storm is starting from scratch, licensing in the most advanced middleware available for both graphics (Unreal Warfare engine) and physics (Ireland-based Havok engine), as well as dedicating crack in-house teams to AI, sound, graphics and modelling. We've already seen what Unreal Warfare looks like (amazing), but we've yet to experience the delights of the latest advances in real-world physics. In DX2 bounce attacks will be possible, including lasers off mirrors, and concussive attacks that knock things over. Bodies and other objects will bounce more correctly (looks good on the skyscraper front then – Ed) and climbing will become more of an issue. |
