Deus Ex: Human Revolution Soundtrack HD - 17: Police Office Stress

[maromo1]

Deus Ex: Humans take over a futuristic world. Matrix: Machines take over the world and make the virtual world look like 1990.

Any thriller has got far more points in common to Deus Ex than The Matrix, even Universal Soldier is more similar to Deus Ex, and anyone here could mention dozens of movies related, but the Matrix is certainly the last in the long list.

Leather jackets and cool shades were invented before both the Matrix and Deus Ex so STFU! (Deus Ex ftw)

[Strazman]

Deus Ex and the Matrix are two totally different worlds. In the Matrix, the machines that humans build become smart and aggressive enough to enslave humans and make new generations of them ignorant to the "real world". In the Deus Ex franchise, I don't recall anything close to that ever happening. Sure, both stories involve some human enhancement, but that's about where the similarities end. And that's a minor similarity at best.

@Strazman

But they both deal with the breaking borders between the artifical and the natural, and explore the idea of humanity and it's relation to the rapid development of the inhuman. At the same time, both texts deal quite extensively with the idea of a human/inhuman entity (corporations/illuminati/machi­nes) that attempt to manipulate individuals and societies for their own ends.

actually Deus Ex came out in 2000, whereas the Matrix came out in 1999

[MioRaem]

@OhSorryOldHorse Actually Matrix has absolutely nothing in common with Deus Ex...

[OhSorryOldHorse]

@MioRaem oh i know, but i was just correcting these guys on the dates for each respective media

[redlightning0001]

@MioRaem Ghost in the Shell, Nueromancer and especially Blade Runner have more in common with Deus Ex.

@MioRaem trenchcoats

[Specterish]

@Lm3ntz You don't realize just how many Sci-Fi things have had people wearing trench coats in, do you? There's nothing unique about them.

[Lm3ntz]

@Specterish No shit captain obvious, that's why I said they had it "in common"

[Specterish]

@Lm3ntz I was replying to you saying "trenchcoats" not the whole conversation...

[harlequin2262]

@Specterish

Yes, but it it something of a shorthand in Cyberpunk texts. In this case, it certainly is. It's from Cpunk's noir roots.

[TheDaelus]

@OhSorryOldHorse Actually Matrix is a copy from Ghost in the Shell :)

[JinRenegade]

Holy shit, this game will be like... the Matrix of video games.

[12345678900emiry]

@JinRenegade Matrix copied Deus Ex,Deus Ex was invented first

[JinRenegade]

@12345678900emiry Right.

[xixJackxix]

@JinRenegade He's not kidding. Look up Deus Ex (1) and The Matrix. Deus Ex came first
