I was referring to Catbert's post about wanting an adventure game with the interface of Deus Ex.

Improvement on it would be nice, but basically Deus Ex featured useful information and skills on the left and right side of the screen, compass on top, etc, and you interacted with the world by looking at objects which would highlight with brackets around them for you to use.

Sounds similar to (for example) BS3 and MI4?

I'm still surprised that in the age of search engines people still can't investigate and dig a little on their own... sigh. Anyway, here's some screenshots to give you a better idea
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bruteforce.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:DeusExscreen04.jpg notice the brackets. They apply to world objects as well, and it's far easier to control them than in MI4 for instance because you control the character with the mouse, in first person. It should be easy to pick up on it and tweak it a little to adapt it to an adventure game.

Deus Ex is probably one of the greatest games of all time.
It's a shame it's taken us all the time since then to the release of BioShock to get anywhere near it again. |
