If anyone here has played DEUS EX then they know its a great game about a worldwide conspiracy but i have noticed somthing and want to chuck it in for discussion.

Deus Ex was released in

Release Date: 06/26/2000 - Gamespot

www.gamesdomain.com/gdreview/zones/reviews/pc/jun00/deusex.html

See the date of review in the URL and release date JUNE 2000.

Now When you play the game you start at the statue of liberty and work your way upto the top. You can walk all the way round several levels of the base and see the newyork skyline and from further UP. The Twin Towers are NOT repeat, thats NOT, in the skyline. I got this game in 2000 and never noticed till today when i started playing it again and its soooo damm obvious they are not there (not there in june 2000 over a year before 9/11).......and u should be able to see the towers from the island (check out pic below) so pretty damm spooky, especialy given what the game was about. Also games like that take time to develop so it was prob finished before june 2000.

You should be able to see the towers from the island the statue is on

What you all think ???

well....yeah...but did you notice the towers thing?

yes i did, i also noticed the simularity, between the way society exsists in that game and the way it is going now.

highlights the idea that the "good" guys are not allways on your side.

Nope, never noticed the towers. Great game, I know this may be a bit off topic but what is your favorite ending?

BTW: I post frequently at the Ion Storm Forum at www.ionstorm.com/forum/

The first time i played it i got nearly to the end and had to format my hard drive never bothered to play it again till now so i've never seen the end of it but hope its good

That game is my namesake. I chose it for a reason- it too threw me into the world of conspiracy theories. Its choice- oriented game system is obviously hands down the best choice for the format, much like System Shock before it. A pity we don't see more thinking shooters like that more often.

Both games give light to issues , namely cyberware implementation, artificial intelligence, and the alliegiance of various persons.

Did you notice the similarities between thsoe too games, such as in both you are a member of the UN's military wing, and in both all things are hidden from you until the gun is already smoking?

Just a thought.

i have yet to play the game but thats very interesting indeed.

how does it compare to metal gear solid 2 btw. basically that game is ultimately what got me thinking that stuff could be going on in the goverment and such.

It uses the Unreal tournament engine, Dues Ex 2 is set to be released here in a month, it uses the new Unreal Warfare engine. Dues Ex was one of the best games of all time when it came out, almost rivaling Half Life.

Half Life? Half life couldn't even begin to scratch the atmosphere of System Shock 2. Deus Ex and System shock 2... basically the same system, same type of game... good story, good atmosphere, lots of general creepiness (even though SS2 has the creepiness in far more spades than Deus)

I'd like to think it's just a coincidence about the twin towers thing. i hope so!
loved that game. played it again a couple of weeks ago for the first time since it came out. loved the storyline and can't wait for the second one to come out.

Yes, I too have played this game. It is spooky about the skyline, I noticed it, but never thought anything of it until now...good post!

-wD

Wow. I did notice it, but I assumed it was just a computer thing. Wow.

Deus Ex is probably the best game ever made, overall. As someone says, it sets you free. This thing is the most philosophical thing ever! The bartender in Hong Kong, and that AI system Morpheus? That was one eye-opening conversation.

outstanding game i liked the ending where you morph with the pc entity and it gives you the voltaire quote.....brilliant

I liked the bitz of text scattered about the game. You know, like in the books? Hi-larious and entertaining. If you all want to play another good game, once again, SS2.

Deus Ex is still better, tho. Especially the branching plotline based on your actions.

Just buy the damn game, it isn't that expensive.

I recently bought it. Only £10! Bargin. I used to own it but my damn sister threw it away by "accident." It truely does awaken you to the world of conspiricy. After playing that game are totally booked up on the Illuminati, MJ12 and the Knight's Templer and as a by-product of this I discovered about the Masons, NWO etc.

I cant wait to get my mucky paws all over Deus Ex 2.
