Deus Ex - Main Theme (Live orchestral version)

[@Benz7n]

My dad is a big Deus Ex fan, one day he had an operation for new knee joints after an accident. I played this when he got home, Augmented man

I hope he appreciated the joke! 😂

[@RageNineteen]

This is a perfect example of a composer nailing the music score for a project. This introduction is perfect for the mood of this game, Cyperpunk Secret agent ass kickery with the ever present air of mystery. You can almost see a mid 90's TV series of Deus ex opening using a shorter version of this theme in it's opening credits sequence.

[@sonicjms]

I miss games having strong title themes, more importantly strong memorable melodies.

It was Deus Ex that inspired me to start making my own games.

[@minecraft4blt]

[@exoltik3199]

+PonzooonTheGreat Deus Ex is a great inspiration in that regard! It's a game all about choices and consequences, along with a great plot that slowly unravels to the player as they progress.

[@helmetluigi]

+Connor Hoban Indeed, it's one of those games with great writing and a lot of care put on to it

[@cr4yv3n]

[@int19h]

It's hard to say how controversial augs are in DX, really. If I remember correctly, you see exactly two augmented civilians in the entire game - one is the ex-UNATCO bartender (so, a vet), and another is Walton Simons, who is not really a civilian. So augs seem to be used mostly in a military or police context, and even then, sparingly - most UNATCO force isn't augmented, it's just the special agents. And even then, from emails, you find out that Gunther is not particularly happy about the kind of treatment that he gets on account of his mechanical augs; and Dr Reyes refers to augmentation as "a sacrifice". And here's part of an email that JC receives: "In an effort to secure freedom and liberty for those under their protection, many UNATCO agents have chosen to sacrifice *social acceptance* for mission performance by surgically replacing limbs and organs with mechanically or electronically enhanced equivalents." The aforementioned bartender, by the way, is also testy if you ask her about her augs, and quickly changes the topic. Then there's the conversation between NSF troops that you overhear on the very first map, where they talk about Gunther: "They'd've replaced his whole body if it would've improved performance. If that's how you judge a man - by performance - then eventually it's not about people but upgrades, versions, functionality... Soon as we buy into the cult of the machine we're just like them." So it would seem that the only reason why augs are less blatantly controversial in DX, is because a random person on the street doesn't really see many. In fact, most of them probably see none. Public figures that use them in a prominent way, like Page, aren't exactly liked - "Now all I need’s a rifle, and then it’s just me and Satan… Yes, Satan… One last look into the devil’s red eyes". And for those who are strongly ideologically motivated, like NSF, there's clearly a similarly strong negative reaction to augs.

I love that they added this song throughout DX: HR. Every time I hear it there feels like every time you'd discover one of those secret rooms in Portal, only this time it's not a reminder of what was, but what is to come.

[@Caldoric]

Funny you mentioned Portal... Someone did a cover of this using Turret voices for a Turret "funeral" scene.

[@aeternamlumos]

Would you please tell me in which song that was?

This isn't just 'included' in the PS2 version, it's actually the main theme. I bought the PS2 version at the time, over the PC. However, I'm now playing the latter as there are some differences. Far more bugs too, but I love how the whole level is open, the PS2 had levels sectioned off and loading screens. Plus the inventory system is much more detailed than the heads-up display of the console.

[@LostMem0ry14]

Deus Ex. One of those very rare games which pushed boundaries for its time, Hardware, gameplay and story wise. 11 Years and it still one of, if not THE best game ever made.

Put on a trenchcoat and fight some conspiracies. Get experience and level up abilities. Will you pick rifles or computers? Don't pick swimming because it's fairly useless. It's a shooter, and a role playing game. The levels are ugly and everyone looks the same. We're not the same Ion Storm that made Daikatana; Our games are good and they stay on schedule. We made a sequel that no-one liked! 'cause we dumbed it down too much, 'cause we're thick.

[@RetroPixelLizard]

The levels are not ugly, just your taste in level design with the first generation Unreal engine.

[@bipolarmadness5075]

***** you know that he is referencing the escapist, right? by the way +CPCGamer, i like a laugh when that show up at the end of their guitar hero world tour review, but the comunity needs to stop coming to every deus ex video just to put it on the comments...

[@acrefray]

CPCGamer Swimming was actually surprisingly useful to find things. Almost every level had a potentially swimming-based use. Secrets and items could be found through swimming.

[@blueshit199]

I choose pistols over rifles

[@ahriman935]

Indeed, my buddy thought swimming would be useless and then it turned out that places where swimming was necessary (he just like me went for meticulous approach, with all upgrades and such) were a massive pain in the a**. Not bigger than small spider shits though.

[@SeriousSam7700]

best game ever. I'm not sure why that is, but I probably have the same feeling as you. The music itself takes me back and reminds me of the game. I haven't seen such a great game in years. I believe this is one of the best games ever if not the best.

[@robertlucas859]

It definitely seemed that way during the Bush Administration, but ever since the Syrian Civil War and the subsequent refugee crisis, the world is turning strongly against globalization, and shifting more towards right wing nationalism. Just look at the difference between the popular support NAFTA had when it passed compared to the TPP. And of course the sorry state the EU is in after the Brexit vote.

[@4tCa4mzUPqRZZo]

yeah sadly only the ps2 got this version.

[@acrefray]

slayerming1 ps" level designs were different as well, because it could only use so much RAM, so it was cut into chunks and things were moved around. Both games were fantastic, though the PC generally had smaller (but more intricate) levels.

[@4tCa4mzUPqRZZo]

acrefray Ehh I'm pretty sure the ps2 has the much smaller levels.

[@acrefray]

slayerming1 Not really, since they were cut up into many different parts. Each part was significantly smaller, true, but if added all together, they would be a bit larger than the PC version. The other useful bit was that each time you change "zone", bit where it loads, which was everywhere, and then die, it loads back to the start of the "zone".
