I put a lot of hours in the original Deus Ex, and I still find it fun to go back and play even today, it was so good that they NEVER made a sequel until now.

Trailer

What we know so far

* It's actually a prequel, set in 2027, 25 years before the first game
* Mechanical augmentation rather than the first game's nano-augs
* Some sort of cover system is in place
* Regenerating health instead of medkits
* Developed by Eidos Montreal
* Scheduled for early 2011
* Can't possibly be as bad as Invisible War

Anyone else cautiously optimistic?

Very. Had so, so much fun with this ugly little game. More would be good, more that is not Invisible War[/i].

It does look good in my opinion. Never played the original though. And personally.. The only game I'm looking foreword to is the next Gears Of War.

For anyone who is interested, you can get both today on steam for 5 bucks total. It's the 10th anniversary of the first game.

The game has three things going for it, the awesome trailer, Spoony and Angry Joe's coverage and interview with the developers and the promise that the gameplay will be a throwback to the first Deus Ex game. However, there is one thing going against it, being that SE will be publishing it, I hope their involvement in the actual process of the game development is minimal, because for this game to be successful, it needs to be at least almost entirely by the hands of Eidos and not by SE.
