Deus Ex: Gunther Vs Paul - A DX Fan Film

[@cogsworther1639]

I love the small details given to characters, like how even Gunther feels a spark of sympathy once he sees how badly Paul is suffering from his Kill Switch

[@thelemonwiththumbs4560]

And the legendary 6 cans of soda in his cupboard

[@andrewfernie3528]

Also the little detail of JC's eyes showing blue at 0:57. As if he's raring to go. Really, give this guy a studio and a team to put an animation for the game together. It deserves it. I'm hoping he finishes up the JC vs Navarre piece some day.

[@expelliarmus4347]

@@andrewfernie3528 Isn't there a JC vs Anna video? Never mind, it's not complete.

[@Madcat221]

It feels like Gunther's attempt to keep custody of Paul was him trying to shield Paul from the MiBs after seeing that moment of killswitch suffering.

[@vacuumman3729]

Paraphrasing a legendary comment: Now do the canon version: Paul kills all the UNATCO troops and MIBs while JC hides in the closet eating soy food.

[@Ezio999Auditore]

That’s what I did.

[@dantirk4560]

If you do that he doesn’t live later in the game. You can save him by simply sunning out and getting killed first or killing all 15-20 units outside the room before paul runs out

[@anton7c3]

To save Paul, you need to exit Ton Hotel through the front door. Once you step out of the window, Paul is dead.

[@bup4715]

no even better, jc immediately shoots a LAW or GEP gun missile at his feet and blows himself up as soon as he finishes speaking to paul which for some reason makes paul live

[@khatack]

What? How can Paul kill anyone after everyone gets wiped out by around 15 lams exploding simultaneously? xD

[@lorenzrosenthal119]

I like that the bathrooms are looking exactly as strange as in the game. You nailed the subtle dreamlike oddity of proportions, lighting and texture limitations of Unreal Engine 1 games of that era. I LOVE it!

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

It was a pleasure to voice J.C. for this video so many years ago. 💪😎🤟 I'd happily do a lot more V.O. work of the character, but until then, I actually made a pretty killer cosplay of Denton (on my own channel here), including the glowing glasses, working Dragon Sword prop, and a fun futuristic-looking gun.

[@PaladinRex454]

Can you link your denton video I have been looking for like 15 minutes. Thanks

[@tonyc.0451]

I haven't seen this Deus Ex fan film in years. Good on you for showing how Paul Denton suffered from the killswitch that caused him pain whereas the original game had him stuck to a chair with no visible signs whatsoever. At least we fans got to see him fight Gunther Hermann personally.

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

There were a lot of limitations back in 2000, but Ion Storm ended up making one of the best games of the century. To this day, I'd argue that Deus Ex *still* rivals pretty much any game of its style. Not even its sequels were really all that great (which may have been thanks to the key vocal performances of Jay and the others on DX1). I would definitely do the V.O. for J.C. Denton again and again if I was given secondary and tertiary opportunities. 💪😎✌️

[@tonyc.0451]

@@Novastar.SaberCombat Greetings. So you voiced JC Denton in this fan film? If so, thanks for your performance. Wonder if you'll do JC's memetic lip smacks in the future. I agree that Deus Ex is still top-notch. The story is more relevant nowadays due to current events. Invisible War, too, actually. Now that the franchise belongs to a different company, fingers crossed that remakes for the first two Deus Ex games will happen ... in a few years.

[@smash8865]

Old games like that require some imagination post watching. Creator very definitely imagined the setting and storyboard in congruence with the conventional game, I'm really impressed 👌

[@tonyc.0451]

@@smash8865 I once tried to write a Deus Ex fanfic, but I can never come close to matching the fan film's decent quality and the attention to continuity with the first game.

Edgy?

[@The_Gent]

@@brunodimaggio9946 thats what socialists call things now when they feel uncomfortable

[@tremendousyeet3467]

"How edgy it is" you sound like a zoomer teenager who treats any hint of seriousness as if it's something surreal. because he's used to having an awkward anticlimactic joke in the dialouge every 2 minutes, just like they do in marvel movies. "edgy" give me a a break...

[@gringusgaming]

Honestly this art style works very well

[@quagmoe7879]

I love how Paul is using Martial Arts, he probably learned it from his time in Hong Kong.

[@mikitadou]

I would assume that all agents of this level should be proficient in all types of combat.

[@quagmoe7879]

@@mikitadou Maybe. It seems to me like those Agents tend to take on specialist roles judging by the gameplay. Specializing in one field or another rather than being proficient in everything. Paul’s specialty if we’re to go by in-game dialogue is stealth and non-lethal attacks. Naturally that should probably include martial arts.

[@adamkc0]

@@quagmoe7879 You're quite proficient in the art of headcanon and I mean that in a good way, I enjoyed that take.

[@quagmoe7879]

@@adamkc0 Thanks, Dues Ex is one of my favorite games of all time. I just love hypothesizing about it. I feel like the plot is eerily close to the sort of corruption we see in our own real world so it interests me a lot.

[@azuredragonofnether5433]

Is this me or does this style remind me of Tron: Uprising? And if so, I'll be frank here: That style suits Deus Ex amazingly for its sci-fi setting, mixed in with the Cyberpunk atmosphere. You have definitely nailed those aspects.

[@winniered2642]

Those iconic orange sodas on top of the cupboards bring back so many memories !

[@LancelotChan]

A real JC would fight his way out, taking down everybody and show them who's the boss. :D

[@metaridley77]

Impressive, very nice! I hope there was more fan-made content of the first Deus Ex. By the way, Gunther's voice is perfect.

[@baglayan]

King! Glad you decided to release this legendary animation in HD. This is a treat.

[@JohnDoe-xh5wp]

Glad you brought this classic back and restored it in HD

[@davidlinares2242]

Just discovered this video. This is awsome, definetly a work from someome who played and liked the original game. Attention to detail created just the correct atmosphere like Paul's apartment, illumination, music, the agents, voice acting, everything. This could be a very good animated adaptation, respect and greets to you.

[@alexg9697]

I remember discovering that you can save Paul and it changed the dialogue a little with maggie. Also he tells you at the end on what to do which was cool

[@enadopato]

This is amazing! I cant imagine how many animations of similar quality being lost due to not getting archived or being a niche site.

[@jangelelcangry]

@@Mad_Dog_of_the_Regime Sorry. I meant a valid path. If you leave Paul alone instead of killing the agents he'll be dead on MJ12's lab. BTW I got a save file that Paul is not on the Hotel after I broadcast the signal. If I fight the guards they can't die and I'll die if my life is depleted instead of being captured.

[@Mad_Dog_of_the_Regime]

@@jangelelcangry If player leaves hotel trough main doors instead of apartment window then Paul survives in the story and that is considered cannon, though it doesn't affect the game all that much.

in deus ex original, to stop agents from killing agents yet not kill them (i played the whole game passively) i blocked the apartment door with heavy large boxes so the agents couldnt get in , then you go thru the front and take them out.

If you go out through the window Paul is marked as "dead" by the game. You are probably better off booby trapping the hotel and fight alongside Paul.
