  • Created several years ago and uploaded onto the Machinima RUclips Channel before they shutdown, this is a short animated fan film based upon the videogame Deus Ex created back in 2000, but now uploaded here in glorious HD!
    JCDenton and Paul Denton both arrive back in their apartment only to be ambushed by Unatco troops and Agent Gunther Hermann intent on arresting the two brothers, however Paul decides to sacrifice himself and takes on the towering Gunther by himself.
    All created by myself, music created by Scott Morgan, and several voice actors listed in the credits.

      Also the little detail of JC's eyes showing blue at 0:57. As if he's raring to go. Really, give this guy a studio and a team to put an animation for the game together. It deserves it. I'm hoping he finishes up the JC vs Navarre piece some day.

      "How edgy it is" you sound like a zoomer teenager who treats any hint of seriousness as if it's something surreal. because he's used to having an awkward anticlimactic joke in the dialouge every 2 minutes, just like they do in marvel movies.

    I haven't seen this Deus Ex fan film in years. Good on you for showing how Paul Denton suffered from the killswitch that caused him pain whereas the original game had him stuck to a chair with no visible signs whatsoever. At least we fans got to see him fight Gunther Hermann personally.

      @Novastar.SaberCombat Год назад +21

      There were a lot of limitations back in 2000, but Ion Storm ended up making one of the best games of the century. To this day, I'd argue that Deus Ex *still* rivals pretty much any game of its style. Not even its sequels were really all that great (which may have been thanks to the key vocal performances of Jay and the others on DX1).
      I would definitely do the V.O. for J.C. Denton again and again if I was given secondary and tertiary opportunities. 💪😎✌️

      I agree that Deus Ex is still top-notch. The story is more relevant nowadays due to current events. Invisible War, too, actually. Now that the franchise belongs to a different company, fingers crossed that remakes for the first two Deus Ex games will happen ... in a few years.

    What!! This is unbelievably great! It's what I would imagine if Deus Ex was ever adapted into a movie, they would definitely have Paul fight in a cinematic fashion, along with some changes to what originally happened; dramatize things more. And I can totally imagine Gunther interacting with the MiB like that, it felt like it was actually a dialogue from the game.
