I don't mean it wasn't a secret to the player, I mean
in the gameworld it apparently wasn't a very closely-guarded secret. I can't remember exactly what the source of the reveal was, but I do remember thinking it was a fairly pedestrian information source that a lot of people would have had access to.
I think I'm loosing you there. Are you talking about the coffee companies issue or the Illuminati thing? If it's the latter then even [SPOILER]Donna Morgan didn't know about true backround of the WTO.[/SPOILER]

The coffee wars.

The especially stupid part about the coffee wars is that the big secret was apparently not much of a secret at all.

Consolitis = bad.
In a way, I really wish that T3 and DX2 were coming out now, for X360. Those machines are powerful enough that they do not have to make any concessions to the hardware of the systems. If made today, they would most likely have been much more excellent games than they were.

The levels would have been larger, and the frame rate higher. That's it. We'd still have the stupid circular HUD, universal ammo, tiny inventory, console-sized text, dumbed-down biomod system, and silly plot.

... and coffee wars.
Wait, it wasn't in T3.

TDS actually would have benefited. We'd have had single-load maps, and the developers would have had time to straighten out the first-person movement. The interface would still have been the same auto-everything dumbness though.

Unfortunately the whole body-awareness thing is a quite processor performance consuming thing, even on newer PCs, yet it doesn't feel very good.

FEAR wasn't too bad. Though admittedly you end up spending the vast majority of it in bullettime, so maybe that covers up any major problems..

A less good Deus ex is still better then no Deus ex at all. I really liked Invisible War, good game with a few flashes of brilliance. Flawed as it may be, at least they nailed the atmosphere, it's good to revisit the deus ex universe :thumb:

Ummm... haven't you been following any of the body awareness discussion for the last year? It's awful because of poorly designed animations and sloppy code.
