Deus Ex-Regisseur ist mit der Richtung von Mankind Divided nicht zufrieden

Deus Ex director Warren Spector isn’t very happy with the official reveal trailer for the upcoming Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

The trailer introduces protagonist Adam Jensen’s new occupation as a cyborg terrorist hunter and shows off his augmented combat capabilities.

“I thought the Mankind Divided trailer was pretty violence-o-rific, which bugged me a little,” said Spector, objecting to the solitary focus on action. “I mean, [Deus Ex] was never about killing stuff. It was about picking your own playstyle, which MIGHT involve killing stuff.”

“Given how well [Deus Ex: Human Revolution] did at the whole choice and consequence idea I’m hoping – and have confidence – the actual game will be a little more in the playstyle matters mold. In trailers, you just have to give people the most action-packed stuff you can, I assume. I’ll definitely be playing Mankind Divided. Ask me then.”

Later on, Spector elaborated that he doesn’t believe that the game’s new “modular cover system” was a good fit and that the new enemy AI makes it very hard for player to sneak away after getting caught.
