Deus Ex: Metal Gear Mass Effect Solid
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is among my most anticipated games at the moment. Looking at the E3 trailer for the thousand time a moment ago it finally hit me why this game seems so appealing to me. It's not really because it is a sequel/prequel to one of my favorite games of all time, it's because the whole design and feel of the game footage we've seen so far reminds me earlie of Mass Effect 2 and Metal Gear Solid: Guns of the Patriots. It's almost like the two mentioned games had a child.
Adam Jensen, the hero of Deus Ex, looks a lot like a mixture of Raiden and Vamp from Metal Gear Solid and the game clearly contains mechas which adds another Metal Gear Solid vibe to the game. The city itself and how it is presented gives me strong Mass Effect 2 vibes but with less blue and more orange tones, not to mention the way Jensen holds up a guy in one of the screenshots with his gun and the way he's in looks in cover reminiscent me of my time with Commander Shepherd in Mass Effect.
Personally I think they couldn't have chosen better influences than the original Deus Ex, Metal Gear Solid and Mass Effect games. I continue to expect great things from one of the most promising games of next year.

yeah it does remind me strongly of mgs, hadn't thought about ME2 as I felt the city looked closer to something out of Bladerunner, but yeah I can see it too ;D
it's hard not to get hyped over this game tbh.
Blader Runner city looked much darker and industrial in an ugly way. This city is filled with dramatically placed lights amongst the grit, very Mass Effect but with orange instead of blue. =)
true, but the ShanHa (or was it Shan hai?) streets where more slum and tv screens on the streets always makes me think of bladerunner xD
the game, not the movie.
but true, it's leaning more to the clean, plastic and lights of Mass Effect.
