Listen to the music in the first 30 seconds of this.

Now listen to this.

BTW, this looks to be really good.

So I guess "ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDING HERE" wasn't written in plain enough English. It does look interesting. Using shipboard and helmet-mounted cameras gives it a natural feel. It's at least worth a rental since space horror films tend to get on my nerves.

I KNEW I recognized that from somewhere! How could I have forgotten Deus Ex? I loved that game, and it had a soundtrack that perfectly complemented the art and mood of the game.


*EDIT* Also, Europa Report looks like my kind of movie. Magnet usually puts out decent stuff.

I agree - the music was really well designed for the mood of the game. I'm excited to hear Marty's full score for Destiny...

Side note: does anyone else remember playing through the original Deus Ex? I'm dating myself, but it really was groundbreaking it its time.

Maybe the big twist with this movie is that it's secretly an adaption of 2061?

Seeing as a recent film pulled something to that effect off on me, I can say that that would be really cool.

Thanks to Chewie's willingness to share and general awesomeness, I am currently hacking my way through DE:HR and enjoying it very much. This news is pretty darn cool!

Same time period. On mobile.

Dern, I wonder if they have a next-gen game up their sleeves, 'cause this feels disappointing :( With the success of Human Revolution on consoles, why go mobile? Granted, they can do whatever the heck they want, but it seems a poor choice to me.

It's STILL groundbreaking. Nobody has topped it yet. Not Mass Effect, not Human Revolution, not Heavy Rain. Nobody ever will, not with modern game design principles.

If you believe the mobile game is the only thing they're working on, yes. That is unlikely, though.

That's exciting to see the franchise continuing - thanks for the link.

But am I the only one left who prefers to play games on a console? I'm not sure I can get on the mobile gaming bandwagon yet. There are some games, FPS especially, in which I just want to be immersed, and a tablet just doesn't cut it, let alone a phone. Likewise, as much as I try, I just can't get used to the FPS control solutions on a tablet. I miss the kinesthetic feedback of thumbsticks.

Yeah I completely agree. Unfortunately with Square-Enix struggling right now a couple of their strategies going forward are: use game assets we already have, and create more games for mobile devices. When I heard that originally I was imagining things like Final Fantasy VI and VII on iOS, but apparently they were thinking more recent IPs. Oh well, hopefully they announce a new Deus Ex game for PC and consoles at E3.

I don't think I'd use the work "kinesthetic", judging I've never heard of it, but I could easily repeat what you said word by word to express my own opinion.

I agree, at least on the mobile thing. There are some games which are fine on a touchscreen mostly games which were designed for that sort of input in the first place, but many games really need physical controls to succeed.

I'm not sure whether I'd say I prefer consoles over PCs. I do game almost exclusively on a console, but that's really more a matter of cost and where my friends are than me believing it's better.
