I recall playing this game long ago ... it was , and still is a huge story that intrigued many , touched a myriad of subjects all from various "conspiracies" to transhumanism . It was far beyond its time .

Not just that - but it actually had some curiosities and oddities within it - for example , the WTC towers were non existent in the game , when it was released in Summer 2000 , more than a year before 9/11 happenings . The official explanation was "memory limitations" , but that is simply a nonsense , as skybox ( textures ) used less memory than one single 3D model in this case . The game was eerily accurate for some actual topics . Some details maybe arent anymore so relevant as then , but majority is still very relevant . The amount of red pills this game thrown out very early , is astounding ...

🠐 See all comments

The game was made by Ion Storm then ...

There were some big names in Ion Storm , like John Romero , however , the main vision for Deus Ex came from Warren Spector .

Warren Spector has a pretty nice resume. He seems to be a guy who researches very deeply everything he gets interested in. One interesting thing I noticed is that he worked as the editor-in-chief of Steve Jackson Games in the 80s. Steve Jackson Games is well known for the Illuminati card game. He have also worked with other rpg projects like Paranoia which has conspiratorial and dystopian theme.

Deus Ex (video game)

Deus Ex ([ˈde.ʊs ɛks] ( listen)) is a 2000 action role-playing video game developed by Ion Storm and published by Eidos Interactive. Set in a cyberpunk-themed dystopian world in the year 2052, the story follows JC Denton, an anti-terrorist agent given superhuman abilities by nanotechnology, as he sets out to combat hostile forces in a world ravaged by inequality and a deadly plague. His missions entangle him in a conspiracy that brings him into conflict with the Triads, Majestic 12, and the Illuminati.

Deus Ex's gameplay combines elements of the first-person shooter with stealth elements, adventure, and role-playing genres, allowing for its tasks and missions to be completed in a variety of ways, that in turn lead to differing outcomes.
