"We ultimately decided to focus more on the first game," said Jean Francois Dugas. "...In terms of being a Deus Ex game, we keep the core gameplay essence alive, which is a hybrid of action-RPG in which the core gameplay mechanics revolve around combat, stealth, hacking, and social aspects."
The Montreal-based dev team are also ensuring that Deus Ex 3's levels are more expansive than those in the second game - "think Hong Kong in Deus Ex 1," said Dugas.

Oddly, I don't remember auto-regenerating health in DX. Or everyone walking around in puffy shirts. Or "Press X to take cover!".

I'm fine with some change in art direction for the game, as long as it's still cyberpunk at core. We'll see about the gameplay.

Deus Ex 3 is out on PS3, 360 and PC later in the year.
Hope so.

Translation : Invisible War has a bad reputation and Deus Ex 1 is considered as one of the best game ever made. We would be idiots to say Deus Ex 3 is not based on the first game (even if we have no intention of really following the first game design because we know the modern gamer wouldn't like it).
Edit : and what the hell do they mean with "social aspects" being part of the core gameplay? I don't remember actually dancing in Hong-Kong. (That's kind of a joke BTW)

Well, I think they did as much social stuff as they could given the tech/resources they were working with. Ultimately, DX stands out from other similar games because of the meaning that your actions had for the people around you. I think that, even if you want to be very traditional, DX gives you a mandate to extend that as much as you can.
But yeah, the "focus on the first game" comment is ridiculously predictable.

Social aspects refers to the importance of dialogs, the information you'd get and the choices you could make in them. "Social exploration" played a big part in the original DX, just like in any full-fledged RPG. Whether you got sidequests, access to assets, or found new/more info about how to complete your current goals, etc., it was worth talking to people.

I knew what they were referring to (that's why I wrote my comment was kind of a joke), it's just that talking about dialogs as "social aspect gameplay" is, to me, a bit like calling a janitor a "technician in surface sanitation".

Sounds about right :p

Okay, hotshot, what would you use to get a coffee stain up off a tile floor?
