Elon Musk actually plays video games and he will be a far better game publisher than any game publisher now.
once AI enters the gaming industry, many forgotten AAA will be revived, and many sequels will be made. it needs one company to start LLM map and content generation for gaming.

this game is added to epicness like MGS2 with radio clips predicting future 2020s. Now deus ex depicted world that swallowed it.

Human Revolution and Mankind divided have the most beautiful soundtracks and atmosphere I have seen in video games.
R.I.P.
For OST thank Michael McCann who also worked on Borderlands 3 OST.
Michael McCann, and then Sascha Dicikiyan and Ed Harrison really blew it out of the water, it's easily the best OST I ever heard
I bought both for both of those reasons and bought the art book for Mankind Divided
Something about these games and their style was very unique and beautiful. It makes me sad that we probably won't see much art like this going forward
Yeah I agree, but it is not my favorite soundtrack and atmosphere in videogames.
Agree. Makes me want to move to Montreal 😂
I firmly believe that the franchise will be resurrected again.
I have no hope left...😢
@@jonezjonez2099You don't need hope mate - just patience 😉
@@fl00d69 thank you Bro! I look more positive to it now. ☺️
I hope it is and is made with love
right now in AAA it is almost guaranteed it will be destroyed by activists sadly
diversity is a beautiful thing but you need to build a character not just throw them in and destroy all others to lift the badly written one!
@@Disinterested1Umm what? Was there some 'diversity' issue with previous iterations?
Deus Ex was also my first Immersive Sim. Its up there as one of the greatest series to me. I thought Embracer was hopefully, but that quickly changed when I realised they were business clowns.
Its crazy how such a unique and somewhat impactful franchise is smothered by corporate clowns who have no value for true art, and pretty much no regard for anything except filling their pockets. Honestly, I'm pretty sure there are people out there who would gladly complete the franchise and give it a new life, a life it has truly deserved. There is only hope they will someday be able to obtain the IP and leave these money-draining idiots with nothing.
Maybe nightdive could purchase the IP (like they did with system shock) and do something with it, maybe they could even purchase eidos Montreal but I don't see them being able to afford that.
👍🏻
@@icravedeath.1200Nightdive is owned by Atari now so idk how that would work.
Michael McCann's OST for the third and fourth games have Changed my Life. This is not an overstatement or an exaggeration, but pure fact. His songs are part of my daily playlists and have inspired my books, writing, art and even spiritual expression. The first trailer for Deus Ex HR is one of the most powerful memories from my teenage years.
Deus Ex will never die. It will come back augmented.
The next deus ex will be IRL.
I feel this sentiment very strongly. My only tattoo is directly lifted via transfer/tracing paper straight out of HR's trailer.
Solid copy... his sounds are weaved into my dna...
As a native to Czech Republic (Prague is our capital) I was really pissed off by the texts in our (czech), language were oviously from google translate. Large multimilion company was not able to pay for one native proofreader.
Very good point.
I read this complaint a lot and I can totally see where you're coming from. As an Italian I have the same problem with games like hitman, Sapienza also looks like a google translate map.
They literally could have even found volunteers to do it. Quite disrespectful really.
sir, you are lucky. I didnt get translation at all. So gotta read and know english.
@@effexon I think you misunderstood what I wrote.
In Prague locations there were texts in native Language of Czech Republic of which is Prague capital city. But those texts were in google translate quality, without any proofreading from speaker of that language.
So its not the translation of the game it self.
This is not corporate greed, this is sheer stupidity. This is like having a load of buildings that each used to be a great hotel, is full of great staff but you refuse to open any of the hotels for business. You make money from games studios by having them make games, not by trying to get someone else to buy up the derelict buildings to fix the years of neglect that you inflicted on them.
Embracer Group wasn't greedy. They were lazy.
They didn't want to cultivate their investment they just wanted to package it all up into a tranche where they just had one big bundle to get some sucker sovereign wealth fund to buy up. They could have made more money by putting these studios to work but they weren't interested in making something worth selling.
I figured this series was dead since Mankind Divided. Selling micro-transactions and tying DLC weapons to single-use-self-deleting into a single player game, and signalling to everybody that they had cut the game in half intentionally to sell more later as mission-for-cash DLC killed this franchise. Also, I played Mankind Divided twice and still barely followed the conspiracy. A shame, because I really wanted more Bob Page.
That was Squares mess. And that was the 2nd time they got burned, Cause during *Human Revolution* they were remaking the company and than in midst of it all Square enix baught them up.
Only to mess up the Release with Day 1 DLCs, and more demands from Square.They've been hangin (Creators of Human revolution & Mankind Divided by a thread for years and this is beyond a *Fun* situation for any Game company to be within.
It’s when a digital sim is more real and alive than a corporate human.
RIP Adam we love you.
What? Lol
Edit: I now realize you're talking about Adam Jensen...I'm an idiot haha
Mankind Divided was one of the greatest games I have ever played; such a sad thing that there won't be a follow up. RIP.
Bearing in mind you can more or less access nearly all of it from quite early on in the start I remember exploring for about 25 hours and thinking it was all wrapped up and then in a singular moment finding another 15 hours of exploration and intrigue that wasn't unlocked it was just there and I wasn't done at all and then it literally fucking happened again! It astounded me, given I literally fine toothcomb through all immersive sims, it amazed me how I spent over 50 hours just exploring the city of Prague itself external to most of the missions. It was so well designed. Dishonored, Prey, Thief, they've all felt immersive but Mankind Divided was a different kind when it came to the city.... Nothing would break the immersion for fucking days at a time, I've not experienced that in over a decade.
I just wish Mankind Divided didn't end with what essentially amounts to a "To Be Continued". Deus Ex and it's fans deserved better than that. We never asked for this. 😔
Thanks for making this video, I really don't want to lose hope on a future instalment and these kinds of videos are shedding light on our interest and desire to see a conclusion to Adam Jensen's story.
Just doing my part for the cause :)
Everything Embracer touches dies... Saints Row, Deus Ex, etc...
These news are extremely painful to hear. I replay HR and MD regularly...need the conclusion to Adam's story
Deus Ex Human Revolution and by extension, Mankind Divided, were DEFINITELY the main inspiration for Cyberpunks gameplay.
I keep saying this, many times while playing cyberpunk i couldnt help but notice during certain main/side missions how similar the atmosphere, the sneaking, the hacking etc was similar to Deus Ex HR
True, but I would argue that the *main* inspiration for Cyberpunk goes way further back to Shadowrun for Sega Genesis. Although there can be no doubt that Deus Ex played a role in inspiration.
In Shadowrun, a friendly way to refer to a friend was to call them a "chummer" or "chum". This is obviously connected to Cyberpunk and "Choom" and "Choomer".
There were also upgradeable Cyberdecks in Shadowrun. There are so many similarities.
@@ravenodinson7483 It's more likely the opposite, or unrelated. Cyberpunk's original tabletop came out a year before Shadowrun's. Granted, a lot of the language and flavor stuff was established in the second edition, which was a year after Shadowrun, so who knows.
@@jkruse05 The opposite or unrelated?
Neg on that, chummer.
@@ravenodinson7483 Bro, the Cyberpunk RPG is older than Shadowrun. Slang like "Choom" comes from cyberpunk novels like Neuromancer. I was talking about GAMEPLAY anyway, Cyberpunk plays exactly like Deus Ex except it has cars
Not having money for videogames, Mankind Divided has been the first Deus Ex game i've ever played, I had only ever heard good things about this franchise and so far it's amazing. A beautiful atmosphere, interesting (and quite applicable to real life) story, and great gameplay that feels amazing compared to say, cyberpunk. I'm glad i was able to get it for free, though it's sad that that was only because the death of a series i never got to live through.
Unfortunately, same happened to System Shock 3
Deus ex has undeniably changed my life. Ever since I discovered it via mankind divided in 2019, it made me find my passion for art back, I wrote stories, I made friends. I was SO excited to see where Eidos was going to bring our dear Adam. It's been 2 months now, but the knot in my stomach is always there...
Human Revolution and Mankind Divided are my fvorite Deus Ex games, and I know that's a controversial and unpopular opinion, but I loved the story the character of Adam Jensen, the gameplay, from stealth to hacking, the setting. characters, also it found a way to make negotiations into an actual real time Boss fight. The negotiation with Botkoveli is a masterclass in how to do a multi-choice dialogue tree that had choice and consequences.
Man, it's disappointing.
I'm not really a fan of FPS games. Not into Battlefield, Call of Duty ,Overwatch or Halo. But when I played Deus Ex, I couldn't put it down. Human Revolution was one of my favourite games back in the 7th gen. Sad to see the way things have gone since then. I really hope someone can pick this IP up and do it justice. Truly one of the most interesting and innovative series I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
Man that was my main reason to avoid series, I can't stand FPP camera. Everyone told me that story would be right up to my alley .. but the camera. I hate that view with passion.
@@cracmar03average console brainlet.
During these days I am replaying HR and MD and man, this video hurts. But thanks for it anyway.
I suspect a remake of this for a "modern audience" would hurt more IJS with what is happening in gaming rn!
@@Disinterested1OMG, I could not imagine a Deus Ex game for "modern audiences"... let's hope this never happens!
I loved mankind divided right up until the ending. You weren't kidding when you say the game just ended right in the middle of the story when it was just beginning to really get good and come together, i was flabergasted at the time and remember telling my friend to only play it if he didn't mind the game just straight up 'ending' half-way through. He never did bother with it, I imagine it put off a large enough amount of people to be negatively reflected in the sales data, so fuck you very much Square Enix.
I had no idea they had literally split the game in two but its pretty fucking obvious to anyone thats actually played it. Absolutely tragic that we'll clearly never get that second and final part of the story. Ironic that it falls to corporate greed.
I'm so glad you said what you said @7:58, because I have been saying this as well. The exact themes that Deus Ex touched on are a big reason why we won't see anymore games in this franchise. We are almost (if not already) in that Futuristic dystopian society where government are in full control, corporations are working hand in hand with government "for the betterment of the people" they claim and the people don't even realize how close we are to this dystopian future.
I could not imagine a new Deus Ex game touching on the themes the past games, especially not buy some AAA dev/publisher, but I could see some indie dev taking up the slack and making an ode to the deus Ex games with very deep writing and themes intact. We live in strange times for sure and as much as I love the Deus Ex games (especially the OG) I feel the themes just won't be as impactful as they use to be. Still it sucks how the IP was handled but at the same time I'm not surprised.
I thought the game had been dead since the last one came out. It sort of just ended, poorly? Then we've had nothing for 8 years, so assumed it was already gone. But to hear that it is now official is even worse.
the entire entertainment media is falling apart
This series was art, from the writing to the visuals, and the sound track. You could get lost in Deus Ex universe, epitome of immersive.
I can't believe Embracer were meant to have liberated Deus Ex and instead ultimately caused the franchises downfall.
I hope someone else does something with the rights.
Still playing MD to this day.. Still listen to the OST... (The mix is just perfect) I love the fact that in MD you can learn more about Adam by doing the side quests. The fact you died in HR and are basically a clone, though enough hints will be given, it's never really said out loud.. How many times I have made stories in my head for een sequel to MD, to fill the gaps to the OG Deus Ex... It could be such an interesting story! Thank you for this vid, hope it keeps the fans alive, although the IP is dead...
Even though Deus ex franchise died I’ll always choose Deus ex better than cyberpunk 2077
I have watched a few hours of Cyberpunk 2077, and is it just cyberpunk GTA?
Great video! Wanted to make a "Yeah RIP" and "What s shame" joke, but I'm honestly going to miss the series, I have so many fond memories of Deus Ex and Human Revolution.
Deus Ex will always be the better cyberpunk franchise than CP 2077
Me too Deus Ex will always be better than cyberpunk R.I.P
Indeed, what a rotten way to die. Especially MD was pure art IMHO. Laputan Machine, game over.
Deus Ex was right all along.
I think about this series at least once almost every day. It's so amazing. I just want one 1 more Deus Ex game where we see the conclusion of Adam Jensen's story. Then I can die happy.
You know, sometimes its better to see something pass/end than make a fool of itself.. The amount of nonsense in gaming (and media in general) at the moment would've made development on this game a living hell and most likely suffer as a result. I DO think it'll be back with time though.
This is why I stuck with the original Deus Ex by Ion Storm. It didn't need a sequel
What a shame, Deus Ex mankind Divided is my favorete cyberpunk game, I can see my self playing this game over and over gain for years to come...
Embracer just ruined everything.
😭😭😭I was almost over it but then I had to watch this video...Man...Imagine Rabi'ah in a sequel, imagine all the possibilities on the story, Adam's mistery augs, imagine new locations, characters we could have gotten. I just recently played Mankind Divided, now I am not sure when I will be able to play it again because I will always be reminded how the franchise has been ended.
Yeah…it hurts thinking of what could have been. 😔
It’s ironic that the huge financial success of videogames, breaking into mainstream and whatnot, is what is providing the means for their downfall as well, given how the vampires smelled the billions in profit and started buying and meddling and ultimately killing all the great studios and IPs.
*What a rotten way to die.*
True! ;-)
Lip smack
just when i got back into the series...now this damn
I Always thought about Deus Ex That it is What Cyberpunk always wanted to be, but Never could Become. I wish Cyberpunk would Create Eastereggs for Deus Ex, or a Deus Ex Dlc or something...
We have Adam's voice in Cyberpunk now with the help of AI.
I tried Cyberpunk again after that big update they hyped up, realism galore. I noticed a change they hadn't mentioned anywhere, your grenades regenerate like a healthbar..... Oh **** off. I know Cyberpunk wasn't trying to be an immersive sim but it liked touting itself as being similar to one in so many regards.... The scarcity and dilemma on resources is a joke and non-existent, it felt very dumbed down.
The original game made you think and delve into philosophy. All of the sequels failed to do that.
Some of the conversations from Germany onwards in Invisible War did that.
I was a philosophy major for my first 3 years of college because of this game. I immediately read all three books after beating the original game with all three endings.
Nah, the sequels had philosophy too including about transhumanism.
@@JohnathanN-ot5nu It was very shallow compared to the original.
I hope they make at least some book to finish Adam's arc. The third game would fix all the loose ends, but now we'll never know about what really happened with Adam and how he was manipulated because he's DNA. I remembered playing HR for free because of Xbox Game Pass when I was 13. Now I am 19 yo and probably will never see a ending to this. RIP Deus Ex. I hope Embracer and Square Enix never touch projects like this just to destroy it.
That foreshadowing bit made me audibly laugh.
Not much does.
Haha glad you enjoyed it!
I’m gonna be honest, I finally got around to playing Cyberpunk 2077 recently and not only did I think it was overrated, but it also made me want to play Deus Ex again.
Hi, the video was great but I would like to bring up somethings about the story I think are worth mentioning.
You mention DX:MD's story being cut in half, but something you didn't discuss is that the story seemed to have been rewritten at some point after announcement. The hoodie character that the announcement trailer focused on was remove apart from some in game text, Marchenko's final fight/design didn't reflect the whole "first gen aug" theme the devs announced. The Dvali theater we see ingame was present in the trailer, but it seemed to have been Marchenko's base in the trailer. We also saw the Blade in the announcement trailer but it wasn't present until we got the DLC.
I've not played in a while but all of these changes from the first trailer/demos to final release convince me that the game's story was hit far more than just being cut in half.
Honestly, I don't find any of that too unusual. There are plenty of games with content that changes dramatically between announcement trailers and the game's release, story or otherwise. It could be argued that this constitutes false advertising to a certain extent (see BioShock Infinite's pre-release advertising campaign vs. the version we got), but elements shifting during development seems to be pretty normal.
Damn so sad.. never played the old deus ex games, but human revolution and even mankind divided, I loved a lot
How many other IP's have met this same fate I wonder? Damn shame!
Deus Ex ended at its original game. HR and MD felt like as if they were written and designed by redditors.
"everything i don't like is made and liked by redditors" why are people with Max Payne profile picture like this
Oh man i did not even know that WARHORSE STUDIOS (Kingdom come: deliverance) are now also part of embracer group :O
But that list at 6:55 revealed it
While i kinda rolled my eyes at the "Late stage capitalism" comment, i agree with square enix' ridiculous business strategy and standards for profits. They have also never released a second sleeping dogs game for the same reason.
Pretty sure the main problem was square was looking to blame anyone except their japanese assets for how much money they were losing so theh started throwing their western properties under the bus
I imagine it was specifically S-E London responsible for this; Formerly Eidos, which we know how scummy they've been since the early days of Tomb Raider.
Deus Ex, the whole saga, is one of the most complex, sophisticated and prophetic storylines to ever been offered as "games", and like you i was having high hopes that a sequel to MD was going to see the light of day some time between 2025/2028 approx. This is very very sad news and also infuriating, It seems quality games are slowly fading out, and it's unfair considering the HUGE AMOUNT OF CRAP companies are putting out, but i better stop right there, getting too fired up with wffing idiots running things
Deus Ex 1 needs to be remade.
Imagine what they can do today with 2024 tech like cyberpunk.
If they got the right developer it could be something really special.
No
Let's stop remaking garbage
No. Do not remake it. It's fine as it is, a remake would ruin it with modern bloat, bad performance, over-simplification and story re-writing. Do not wish for remake in 2024.
@@CalamityBaird - The game is considered 1 of the best games ever made and its old so it would benefit from it. But they do remake alot of games that dont deserve it like you said.
Hey! Good video dude. I just finished MD this morning and this is bad news... HOW WILL WE EVER KNOW WHO JANUS IS
Fantastic video that definitely represented how I feel about Deus Ex and everything that happened. You earned a subscriber!
I fell in love with Human Revolution when I first played it. I never did play the first 2. I played Mankind Divided and loved that game too.
I always felt like Deus Ex was a highly underrated, hidden gem. I too am deeply affected at hearing it is no more.. this is the first I am hearing of it. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
And by the way, this video was a very well made production. Thorough and interesting. Nice job Adam Maximum, I'll be keeping my eyes open for more videos from you.
you don't need another dues ex game because we are living it.
My first Deus Ex game was Human revolution and i fell in love with the series. So much so I bought all games yeah even the phone ones but for pc . I would listen to the music because it was fantastic. Its a damn shame in the state rhat its in
Waited 11 years after the first DX to get HR. Still haven't played MD despite it being in my library, partly fearing the ending and/or lack of closure. Michael McCann's music did as good to me all these years, as Alex B and Michel Bos's. Glad I never learned there was another game in the making. Life has taken much away as I grow older. So long DX. So long Adam Jensen. The moment feels as sombre as his apartment and the accompanying music in HR.
first time in my life I see such collective grief over a game series, me included in the grief of course.
I recently replayed Human Revolution, and then Deus Ex for the first time. Absolutely brilliant and I love both of them.
A pity that Jensen's story won't be completed, I for one really liked the aesthetics and characters of HR.
I thought the Dead Space series was killed off and 10 years later a remake was released, so there is always hope.
And the series died off again after the remake, cause "it didn't sell well"
@@kaziq1x 😞
you rather wait for a useless remake than a sequel? no wonder why gamers fall for scams so easily...
This was a well written, researched and presented video. Subscribed.
Thank you! Honestly, I feel like I didn't do that much research overall since so many of these events have been engraved into my memory.
"Why contain it?"
Thank you for the video bro for real.❤
WE WANT ADAM JENSEN Mankind Divided sequel back to Eidos Montreal!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What was the beef with Elon Musk about? I didn't get the reference
he's a horrible, right wing person that's why
@@auraxio2944 Oh, what did he do?
@@PixelPusher1 Among other things, he bought Twitter and turned the already difficult platform into a place where terrible people can freely spread hate and fake news.
@auraxio2944 what does his political identity have to do with it? You guys are obsessed with political bullshit that it makes women obsessed with star signs look sane.
Nice to see the love for this franchise still holds today.
Sucks that seems we won't be getting an ending of the story anymore.
At this point, I might settle for something similar to what happened to... I wanna say HL2: E03(?) where a writer of the game published the script of the narrative but changed the names to avoid issues.
I just wanna know was MD Adam a clone?
What about those mystery augmentations?
If Adam was indeed a clone, what happened to the original?
Was Elisa (HR) or her 'clone' related to the AIs from the first game?
And, most importantly, what is the connection between Adam (clone or not) to the Denton Brothers
Yeah, that would be nice. Unfortunately, I don't think that would happen unless Mary DeMarle (the lead writer for both HR and MD who now works for BioWare) retires, otherwise it could put her future work into jeopardy. Plus, after Mark Laidlaw released Epistle 3, he wound up regretting it because Half-Life Alyx came out shortly after. But who knows. Closure would be great, even if we never get another game.
Weirdly enough the original deus ex hinted at augmented racism with character Gunther Herman.
Wow...all that love, we really never asked for this
Cyberpunk 2077 hit a part of the genre, but Deus Ex absolutely nailed what I personally felt like the future of Cybernetics would have been.
Considering the ‘Remake’ culture of this generation, we may see a faithful remake of the original Deus Ex someday, that’d be dope if they don’t fuck it up
As a fan of the game I am very disappointed.
They literally broke my heart.
This is what happens when someone buys a company!
We say goodbye to the previous product!
Or it becomes something that has nothing to do with the previous product.
A game about corporate excesses falls prey to corporate excess. It couldn't be more ironic if they tried. In a way, that's some meta story-telling you get nowhere else.
Deus Ex was my one favorite FPS game, Adam Jensen being one of my favorite videogame protags, but it felt fated when mess surrounding Mankind Divided that something bad was going to happen. First, the lore; they'd move further from conspiracy theories which would have been poignant for the time. They ham-fisted current politics in the worst way. Then the continuity when they seemed scatter-brained where to go, not that I minded some side stuff. Even when Square, they would not pursue IPs if they didn't reach a certain prestige or showed indifference toward a project not from their flag-ships. Square-Enix expected immediate results from the West and big money they saw the West making, forgetting that effort and not meddling is still required.
I didn't know half of this story, Such a shame. Human Rev and Mankind divided blew me away when I first played them. Mankind was probably my goty for 2016, top 5 best games Ive played in that gen easily. Later I discovered that its director also directed Guardians of the Galaxy, another game I really liked. When I discovered this I kinda accepted that the team had probably moved on from the franchise but knowing now that there was still a chance and now its gone breaks my heart. I hope at least to see and play a game made by this team in the future again, like Guardians. They're so talented and not enough studios make games like them.
Dont forget they were all made on unreal engine also. Was groundbreaking for the engine at the time !
Just found out about it, missed the news. So sad :(
I've shat on Embracer group the minute i heard about their aquisition of all these IPs. I knew i'd be justified soon.
They should remake the first game, then previous sequel. It could bring back great stuff
yeah thanks for reminding me to replay deus ex again
Thanks for the video. Hey, atleast they didn't treat the Deus Ex IP as badly as they did with Thief. I grew up with Deus Ex and Thief being my favourite games, but Thief was always just that little bit more special to me. Been building missions on the editor for decades.
Yeah…if Deus Ex is dead, then Thief is deader than dead. The thing with Thief is that I don’t think any modern interpretation of the series would do any sort of justice to the original trilogy because those games tend to be so subtle and intentionally understated in their stories and world building. And Eidos-Montréal, bless them, don’t do subtlety in storytelling very well. Even if Thief 2014 wasn’t a complete mess of a production, I still don’t think it would’ve been handled very well.
Great video. You did your research!
While it’s sad to hear the news of the game’s cancellation, I sincerely hope Deus Ex will make some sort of comeback in the future.
This whole situation is a real bummer. I loved the original deus ex and human revolution’s soundtrack will never get old to me.
Play "Project 2027" if you didn't yet. It's a relatively huge Deus Ex prequel mod with 2 city hubs and many missions.
Embracer is such an ironic name for them
Guess my time with immersive sims started with Ultima Underworld and the first System Shock. Sigh. Good times. Was a great time when I played through Deus Ex for the first time, too. Embracer group killed Gothic and it's makers as well. So there's my most loved, most enjoyed franchise down the drain as well. Irreplaceable.
Good video, thanks!
I think they are still developing this game under a different company or something, and just to not leak anything, they created this scene of kicking the team out
nailed it.... still mad.
release the sequel square!! (yeh, that's already been locked up and dumped into a bottomless pit in the middle of the Bermuda triangle somewhere.)
If we ever get another Deus Ex game it'll be a reboot, unfortunately.
Their decison was so stupid, that i think it wasnt their choice. I believe someone from the top order them to
I have actually cried over this.
We fans deserve some closure to the jensen saga, tying into JC.
This game has a special place in my heart and I really want it to comeback soon, Inshalla
If elon musk buys the ip for deus ex it would be the most ironic shit ever. Dude is literally a deus ex villain
More like an Austin Powers villain, TBPH.
