Any hope for Dentons appearing in some way?

[ph0ne (greatijedi)]

This game looks like its happening in summer, so JC must be born already.

But then, I saw the opening and ending of MD, and there were no mentions of any Dentons at all.

Any chance one of the Dentons would show up in an email at least?

You saw the ending? Why would you do that?

Denton is only a codename. Their real names are whatever you assigned to them. I'm prepared to bet that Jensen will end up having some connection to JC and Paul though...

However, several major Deus Ex 1 characters DO turn up. Not Gunther Hermann or Anna Navarre though, sadly.

It's funny if you think about it: In DE 1, the "standard" is Nano-augs. Anybody with body mods is considered a relic, almost crippled or butchered if you're stuck using such "outdated" tech. Yet in a future game set in the past of the series, mechanical augs are considered cutting edge and ridiculously powerful.

I don't really see how JC could go up against someone like AJ, who has mechanically powerful attacks, and survive by using tiny little machines to reinforce his body structure. Sure, it adds strength and resistance, but surely not as much as full plate metal covering most of your body? It's like saying this tiny aerial drone I have is more powerful than a helicopter.

*sigh* I miss playing with Nano augmentations now...

Bob Page and Morgan Everett probably, as they were major characters in DE1 and were mentioned in the credit scene in DEHR. If I remember correctly, it was vaguely mentioned that Jensen's DNA will be used to create the Denton brothers - but don't hold me to that.

Personally I think DEHR was very loosely related to DE1 - and technologically makes no sense at all. Perhaps DEMD will tied things up better, as it's set 2 years after DEHR.

The power of nano-augmentation isn't necessarily in the brute force of it (although it can perfectly handle that) but it's more in the fact it can be multi-purpose, is regenerative if not damaged too much and it mixes better with human DNA.

the first two Deus Ex games sucked in every way: the characters, the story, the gameplay, everything. i don't see a reason any of that crap needs to be in this game.

I agree invisible war sucked ass. harvey smith wanted to sell out to consoles, and he paid the price for it.

The original deus ex is the best game in the franchise. Back in '01 it won game of the year (back then that award meant something), it had truely open-ended gameplay, (for what a 2001 game engine could muster).

Plus the modding, you could mod deus ex, just people mod skyrim today. Sad that SE doesn't give a ♥♥♥♥ about the modding community.

Devs are considering modding for DXMD a possibility

Bob Page and Joseph Manderley got also a lot of mentions in the game's e-mails and were referenced in some of the news papers. Careful observers saw the link.

JC Denton is "born" the year (2029) MD takes place. So unless you expect to see a baby, he won't be in the game. ^^

DLCs dont have to be in the same year as the base game....

Manderley and Page are indeed mentioned multiple times by some characters, and we did get to see Bob in the intro. Talking about HR here, haven't played MD.

I assumed he was talking about the main game. Also there will most likely be atleast one Deus Ex game after this to continue the story. So the DLC won't most likely be too far into the future.

I was hoping for some email saying something like "Subject Something has been created in vat Othersomething 3/19/2029"

I heard the ending was abrupt and poor, so I decided to see it for myself.

Whenever a company claims they might allow modding they're only saying it as marketing. "Buy the game because we *might* let you mod it!" This game will never get mod tools.

That might be the case. Don't know myself, but that sounds reasonable. :)
