"Deus Ex: Invisible War" HD Intro

[@HQ_Default]

I don't think you can really call it an "Invisible War" if the entire city of Chicago was destroyed.

[@red_cosplay]

What a shame.

[@billwilson6248]

Now it's invisible.

[@furydeath]

"Invisible War my ass" ~ Ross

[@KaosNova2]

And this mass murder act made it impossible for me to ever sympathize at all with the Templars, but moreso with the Omar or Apostlecorps

[@peachyprotist]

Walton Simons voice. Ooohoho

[@peachyprotist]

***** I LOVE WALTON SIMONS. AND HIS VOICE. AND THE CHARACTER IN THIS ONE WITH HIS VOICE TOO.

[@volition142]

He had a clone in area 51

[@tonyc.0451]

This intro showed that Invisible War would have had potential to be a great sequel to Deus Ex. A shame that the end result fell short thanks to being forced to be made for consoles back in the day. I still wish that we got to learn more about this "nanite detonator" that petrified the unnamed terrorist and almost everyone in Chicago before destroying the city itself. Why didn't the villains in this game try using it to destroy JC Denton during the endgame? All theories are welcome. Invisible War was short and had almost every feature from the first game nerfed tremendously, but it tried its best to tell a good story and give an end to one of the franchise's story arcs. At least the graphics still look good by today's standards and the voice acting is better this time around. I wish that this game will one day be remade for new and old audiences. Some trivia? Voice actors Chris Sabat and Laura Bailey voiced male and female Alex D respectively.

[@cr4yv3n]

+Tony Chang (Tony The Changfilth) Because the shitty consoles couldn't handle it. HOPEFULLY the guys who made DX:HR and now Mankind Divided will eventually remake IW too. Imagine the nanite detonator "effects" seen with today's tech.. **drool**

[@tonyc.0451]

***** I can't wait.

[@Mike-jl2kp]

The game never lived up the intro at all.

[@tonyc.0451]

@@Mike-jl2kp I can't really dispute that. The game's tone wasn't as eerie as the first one. That's one of many problems that Invisible War had.

[@domasbaliulis23]

and that "terrorist" you're talking about is a templar.

[@bobpage6597]

2:22 I always liked the way Billie Adams is completely unconcerned here - all hell has broken loose, the city is being electronically incinerated all around and she's as calm as a daisy. The way she then turns and uses her leg augmentations to leap up into the chopper - badass in its own way!!

[@TheJuiceDidNineEleven]

Man... this looked so much cooler when I was eight.

[@59spadesofalife52]

So we all played this when we were younger so much for having an older brother

[@alish5417]

because back in that time it achieved the golden ratio but now its not because time has passed and the degredation proccess took place.

[@Michaeljack81sk]

This might not have had the scope of the first game but it was still a lot of fun and finished the saga off nicely

[@ecthoranis]

This intro really blew me away back in, what was it, 2004? Got the demo with an Xbox magazine. Still pretty captivating, the presentation of these games was miles ahead of most of the competition. Quite enjoyed the game itself, other than the terrible ammo system. Not a great continuation of the classic Deus Ex, but a pretty good game nonetheless.

[@puffthecatpuff8931]

I should have played it on the Xbox; I got annoyed trying to get the game to play nice, on my PC.

[@JackMacLupus]

1:21 That security bot failed to scan the dark alley and doomed Chicago! So what do we learn from that little children? Never let a bot do important work!

[@KaosNova2]

Also a lesson little children, bots never buy or pay money.

[@nepspartan-7597]

Another idea I have is that the material of the clothing the guy wore was to avoid detection by electronic means

[@Teddy_Bass]

This game was way ahead of its time

[@KneelB4Bacon]

The story is actually very good but this game is seriously hampered by a god-awful interface and by being designed from the ground up for consoles. You can see the pressures of having to work within a limited memory budget throughout this game: models get reused, limited animations, tight, cramped levels and "Universal Ammo" which was really just an excuse to save memory by not having to design ammo meshes and textures. The PC version feels like a really bad console port.

[@cr4yv3n]

Catzilla The twisting circles/animation is kinda awesome tho :D

[@caav56]

The universal ammo does make sense in-universe - it's a time of a damn nanotech everywhere, so, why would we need old cartridges, when we can load basic propellant matter in one chamber, basic projectile matter in the second and the weapon itself will assemble it into what it needs to fire at enemy and what it needs to propel freshly-created projectile. About other complaints - yes, goddamn consoles.

[@jundef746]

Ross Scott?

[@TheClone901]

They should have did with the ps2 deus ex made on pc first then convert it for console this is petty much how modern game have been developed

[@stevenbazinet3404]

Well said sir, completely agree. What I am hoping formis, after all the wonderful moding thst was taken place for the original Deus Ex game, especially with Shifter, Biomod, and The great REVISION, that they will soon turn the attention and focus over to Invisible War and start moding the hell out of that game to fix it and make it better.

[@TheLongasen]

[@ZuluRomeo]

DESPERATE.

[@puffthecatpuff8931]

90% Ghost in the Shell, and 10% Umbrella Corporation (Resident Evil)

[@TheClone901]

Once they remake this game it will be the best deus ex game ever

[@Tribal_Soldier]

I remember seeing this trailer on one of my OXM demo discs

[@PonzooonTheGreat]

Another victim of consolification. What a shame.

[@cr4yv3n]

2:13 **om nom nom nom**

[@stevenk8189]

Legendary game.

[@red_cosplay]

No. Within six months.

[@georgsgrants9925]

Old men… are the future!

[@skuterixas91]

so underrated

[@Onefuturist]

I played this for a few hours - somewhat reluctantly... And finally, I had to stop. What a shame.

[@GraveMachine23]

I played it on my pc, but it kept freezing the screen kept going black, like it's an epidemic and i cant fix it. You played it on regular xbox?

[@Onefuturist]

on PC

[@georgesouv]

***** After updating your graphics card drivers did you have any crashes or problems with Invisible War? I couldn't update my AMD GPU drivers because the latest drivers were not working right with my system so I had to play the entire game with my older drivers and had frequent crashes to the desktop.

[@GraveMachine23]

Still crashed guys

[@georgesouv]

Vivianlives Here is what you need to do to fix the loading screen freeze problem: First of all you need to buy or find the gog.com version of Invisible War because this version is much better than other DVD/CD versions that out on the market today (it also works officially on windows 7 and 8). This version deals with lock-ups BUT does not completely eliminate the problem. I played the gog.com version of IW and did not have freezes in the load game menu. I was able to finish the game but I got constant crashes to the desktop. That part gog.com didn't fix. However, when I tried to play the game from the beginning after my first playthrough I did come across a lock-up while trying to load a saved game. The way I got over that was by uninstalling Invisible War without deleting my saved games.I did use a special uninstaller program I have which is not free just to make sure IW was completely removed from my PC (The program is called "Uninstall Tool"). You can use a free uninstaller such as Revo Uninstaller to completely remove the game from your system. Then reinstall and the freeze should be gone. Here is how to prevent the game from ever freezing again: Each and every time you want to play IW you must first close ALL running programs and applications such as Skype, Web browsers and anything that uses your PC's hardware. Check out this link steamcommunity.com/app/6920/discussions/0/846959520886850955/. Also close all windows 7 gadgets. I hope this helps you out HyperCannonz09. I did enjoy the game a lot despite the many problems I had to overcome on the PC version. I have read on-line that it is a very bad port from the Xbox to the PC, that's why it is so messed up :( If you need more help please let me know by replying to this message. I'll definitely respond ASAP.

[@DimitriosDenton]

Anyone knows where I can find the song played in the intro? (Before I bother Alexander Brandon about it)

[@georgesouv]

+Dimitrios Corvinos Tell me if you find it. I want it too!

[@newsynapsrliti2059n0]

If the creator would read this, your game I found to be the top fps cyborg political-assasination-themed thriller could not get into the first one but this hit nails and the confined world gave more tension and mystery to the intrigues we end up on as the story progresses. If a sequel becomes possible, please make it more like IW rather than the first. More open but with the same isolated sense of corruption and moral ambiguity to the plot.

[@delukard07]

this was a great game. dont care if it has the deus ex name on it.

[@TheJuanq62]

Favorite game of all time.

[@psychshift]

Invisible weapon for an invisible war.

[@DarkSamael55]

invisible weapon for universal ammo

[@trantruong2065]

I really love voice of Tom Hall as Walton Simons. It's very great to create da gritty atmosphere. Why everybody hates it? 😢

[@Driftwood-Cove]

Nanomachines, son

[@georgesouv]

The only problem with this game is the constant crashes. Otherwise it's very intelligent and overall a truly great game

[@personwithdelta]

This is the most I've played of them game before it crashed

[@georgesouv]

I chose to merge with Helios in DX1 but I didn't like the ending back then because it was very dark. I liked Tracer Tong's ending much more. I chose to help JC, Paul and Helios in DX2 once again but this time I was very happy with the ending which was more promising for the future and did not have the complications of the DX1 unstable merger. I was very satisfied by the story of DX2 and I think it is a great sequel despite the crashes and serious stability problems of the game.

[@georgesouv]

What screen resolution did you use for the recording of this video? I took my screenshots in 1280X1024 because my monitor is old and small (17 inches). I am happy with my LG monitor because it has sharp image quality, it is reliable and looks very nice. It will serve me for many years to come.

[@thelordpickles4907]

Its time

[@ThePa1riot]

Touche. Probably just older emergency helicopters they called in to escape. I guess I was purposely poking at how the game that takes place chronologically in the future looks less advanced in most departments than Human Revolution, even disregarding the less obvious nano-augmentations compared to HR's mechanical augs.

[@mickyflint]

well their was the collapse and things were already falling apart during deus ex. its possible that alot of the human revolution tech just became lost or too expensive.

[@TheyCallMeNewb]

Bees Knees.

[@personwithdelta]

*I N V I S I B L E* WAR

[@jhonnixxes7742]

El mejor lejos y muy real la historia

[@ThePa1riot]

Too expensive for a research foundation and training center like the one shown?

[@turg-glen]

Невидимая война говорили они...

[@chrisl1878]

Coronavirus intro be like...

[@KaosNova2]

And then the terrorist: Sorry COVID, I am going to end your whole career with 20 to 30 times the COVID death toll post vaccine in just two minutes.

[@WELSHGAMER99]

The guy speaking sounds awfully like Walton Simons.

[@asingularcheesepuff6383]

Same voice actor. ;3

[@WELSHGAMER99]

Colonel Crow Thanks but the tone of voice is still like Walton. Hell his voice actor did other other characters and they don't sound that similar to Walton. Maybe it's just me.

[@asingularcheesepuff6383]

That Welsh Guy Yeah, it's not just you, he does sound similar. Maybe he decided to use the same voice / tone since he was being asked to do Deus ex again. Idk, just speculating

[@WELSHGAMER99]

Colonel Crow I have a theory that he could be some sort of clone to Simons. But speculation.

[@asingularcheesepuff6383]

Possibly... :/

[@ixDATSUNxi]

They should make the game for xbox 360

[@Anvilshock]

Go fuck yourself

[@tatocancelled7186]

Anvilshock no u.

[@ThePa1riot]

Why are thy using helicopters when they had personal jets in 2027?

[@phoroz1905]

Anthony Clay because helicopters are cooler and a throwback to the original game’s main method of transportation

[@Kai-tn4yx]

Because the world collapsed in 2052 (ending of Deus Ex 1), and they had to rebuild everything from scratch.

[@byu768]

better than human revolution

[@nihlus9589]

Nope

[@TheClone901]

Human revolution was garbage

[@shaun5809]

Human Revolution was excellent.

[@livium9149]

Better than mankind divided

[@KingLich451]

eeeeeeeeh I'm not really sure, this game was bad... 2 eidos DX's were quite okay atleast.
