With this title getting so close, and little to no buzz, has me worried.

No big splash at E3 or at Comic Con. Doesn't bode well does it?

I wish them the best though... The earlier titles were solid.

First review (from PC Gamer) was extremely positive, something like 93 I think.

I am still not sold myself, may need a demo to get off the fence.

It's 23 days away. It's had PLENTY of coverage.

Agreed. As much as I love the premise, everything I have seen just looks too linear, cliche, and overly scripted. Maybe it's just one of those games that isn't fun to watch, but playing is different entirely. Hope they do have a demo, because that could mean the difference between a day 1 purchase, or maybe renting when I get around to it.

Not to mention graphics are meh on consoles, and physics look just plain bad. Seeing guys get shot and jump up in the air and flip over? Kinda cheesy. Not huge deals, but they don't do the game any favors.

Edit: So far we have 1 PC review at 95% and 1 PS3 review at 8/10. Since I would get it for PS3, that doesn't sound too hot for the world premier review(they are usually overly high). They said things like lot's of backtracking to old locations, too limited amo, and cheesy boss battles dragged the score down. Now I definitely will need some sort of demo. Any word if one is planned?

Seriously looking forward to this. Game looks like it's doing a lot of stuff similar titles like mass effect and bioshock got so wrong. Plenty of options outside of just dialogue choices and plenty of opertuinities for exploration outside of the main narrative.

Mainly tho, i just love how similar it is to deus ex 1. From the gameplay, to the music, To the slightly supid AI, even down to adams breathy, gravely voice that is just SO similar to Denton. Seems like i'm gonna be in for a treat.
