Eidos Interactive has announced its E3 line-up, and attendees are going to get their hands on one of the
most eagerly anticipated upcoming 3D games in development, ION Storm and Warren Spector’s Deus
Ex. The story the Unreal engine-based action-RPG is wrapped up in seems familiar on the surface: It is
the new millennium; civilization is near collapse; the world economy is in chaos; the middle class no
longer exists; terrorism runs rampant; and it is five minutes and counting to the apocalypse. From this
maelstrom of violence and suffering, an ancient conspiracy bent on world domination emerges. The
conspirator’s greatest strength? No one realizes they exist -- except the player.
As a nanotech operative, it is the player’s responsibility to infiltrate the conspirator’s world of lies and
betrayals and uncover the truth. When the cabal’s innermost secrets are revealed, an even deeper
mystery and more ominous foe is exposed. Gamers travel the globe developing their abilities and
building a web of allies, employing stealth, strategy and action where appropriate. Trust, though, is more
of a liability than an asset since even allies may be different than they seem. One of the innovations for
the 3D action-RPG genre will be the ability to create a compelling alter ego. Players will be able to
select and develop their own unique set of abilities and nanotech augmentations, and determine which
weapons and objects they will need to survive and solve problems. The broad range of personas
includes deadly avenging angels, charismatic master manipulators and stealthy tacticians.
