Deus Ex mod lets you play as a female JC Denton 21 years after the game came outOct 9, 2021 - EurogamerA new Deus Ex mod lets you play as a female JC Denton - 21 years after the game came out. The Lay D Denton Project, created by a group of modders collectively know as Lay D Dev, dds a feature cut early in the development of Ion Storm's influential immersive sim: the ability to select the protagonist's gender. The mod is a significant effort. All of JC Denton's 1700 lines of dialogue have been re-recorded by voice actress Karen Rohan, under the vocal direction of Chris Rohan. Read more A brief history of cyberpunk gamesDec 6, 2020 - EurogamerThe long-awaited release of Cyberpunk 2077 brings to an end years of feverish anticipation for those who have been itching to roam the streets of Night City, but it's only the latest example of gaming's fixation with the trappings of the cyberpunk genre. It's perhaps inevitable that gaming and cyberpunk are so closely entwined, given that both were birthed in the technological boom of the 1950s and gained mainstream pop culture presence around the same time in the late 70s and early 80s. The hard part is working out how to separate the games that cherry-picked aspects of the cyberpunk aesthetic - of which there are literally hundreds - from those that are, or at least attempted to be, genuine examples of cyberpunk fiction. For that, we need to nail down the genre's key tropes; namely a dystopian outlook on the near-future, an interest in alternate digital realities, drug or technology assisted human modification, and a cultural milieu in which corporate interests have long since outranked the quaint notion of elected government. Things got started pretty early, with adaptations of 1980s cyberpunk movies for 8-bit home computers like the ZX Spectrum. The Blade Runner game, rather cunningly, was licensed from the eerie synth score by Vangelis rather than the more costly movie despite asking you to fly your "Spinner" craft over Los Angeles, locating errant replicants then chasing them down in simple foot chases. An amusing distraction, but one that failed to grapple with the themes of cyberpunk in any meaningful way.

Breach may not be my jam but ooh I am a sucker for daily runs; I do enjoy my Isaac daily every afternoon. … Deus Ex: Breach FAQJan 24, 2017 - Community AnnouncementsWhat is Deus Ex: Breach? Deus Ex: Breach plays on the core pillars of Deus Ex to offer a fresh experience, an arcade approach to the series’ gameplay, which allows for quick play sessions. It was originally included in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided as a game mode, released in August 2016. Wait, I bought Deus Ex: Mankind Divided – am I missing out on any content? No, the standalone version is exactly as the same as the one included in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. What do I do in Deus Ex: Breach? You play as a hacker in the year 2029, called a Ripper. Your objective is simple: hack the servers of the biggest corporations of the Deus Ex universe to expose information they don’t want in the open. Rippers use the funds they acquire to upgrade their virtual augmentations and arsenal, and take on more challenging networks. They use virtual reality from the world of Deus Ex to infiltrate these servers and face their defenses. So how does this translate in terms of gameplay? Each server is a map which you need to complete by reaching its objective: for example, retrieve a set amount of information or defeat a specific enemy. Depending on which corporation of the Deus Ex universe a server belongs to, you will encounter different map layouts and types of enemies. Do I need knowledge of Deus Ex to play this? You don’t. Breach explores new aspects of the Deus Ex lore, and as such, features themes and plot lines of its own. Is there a story in Deus Ex: Breach? Users on the Darknet in need of help will reach out to hire you for your services. They will need specific information retrieved from servers, in order for you to complete what we call “Darknet Files”. For example, you will investigate VersaLife over suspicious treatments, or a weapon manufacturing company allegedly researching dangerous technology. As you progress through these, you will come into contact with other users on the Darknet, which will help you get to the truth. Are there microtransactions? In Breach, there’s no loot in the maps themselves: you get credits as you complete levels, which you can use to buy items through Booster Packs. A Booster Pack contains four random items, from weapons to consumables, server modifiers to customize your difficulty level and Praxis kits to augment your avatar. Every Booster Pack is a surprise but they have different rarity levels. If you wish to obtain certain items quicker, you can buy Chipsets through microtransactions. Chipsets allow you to purchase Booster Packs and premium skins and weapons. However, Chipsets are never necessary to progress through the game. Any social elements? You can compete with friends and players around the world through leaderboards, by achieving the best high scores on each map, and sending and completing custom challenges. Do you have more content on the way? A final content update for Breach will be released in February, and will include new maps, a new Darknet File and more.Deus Ex: Breach FAQJan 24, 2017 - Community AnnouncementsWhat is Deus Ex: Breach?
