Yet another reason why gaming is awesome! + More!

Deus Ex this... that... etc.

In this article, you're getting SDGT's full attention. Not only by way of the coolness from the Deus Ex world, but because of something really cool that has emerged. You also have the option of being a part of it.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Seriously... for the people who think gaming is just a waste of time. Obviously you're just too close minded to give it a chance, but I can still respect the fact that you don't wish to play video games. Everyone has their preferences, but don't dump on the people that do, especially if they aren't hurting anyone and it either part of their career or not interfering with life's necessities. 

If your hobby is something else, enjoy it, but some of us happen to prefer gaming as a hobby. Before I get into a full on write up about that, the reason for this post is something awesome that is coming out of gaming (yet again) for the greater good of people (no matter if they game or not).

Check out the video, and ask yourself... seriously... if gaming is just a waste of time or if some awesome things can come of it. What you see in this video will help multiple people in my opinion.

What do you think of this cool collaboration?

To keep the Deus Ex action going, here is nearly 18 minutes of gameplay action from the City-Hub Gameplay Demo:

I can't wait to get back into the world of Deus Ex. Square-Enix has been going hard, and I commend the individual development studios for kicking butt because new entries to these franchises have been fantastic. 

I don't want to say that the old ones suck, but i'm glad to see the franchises reach the point they have reached.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is coming August 23rd, 2016!

Want more out of your Deus Ex experience?

How's about an arcade experience at no additional cost? Deus Ex: Mankind Divided... will have a mode known as "Breach"... that places you into a virtual world that deserves to be enjoyed in VR (in addition to the overall Deus Ex experience). I still don't have a full understanding of this experience, but a faster paced experience to change things up... is a plus.

We were also delivered Deus Ex: Mankind Divded - Breach

Oh... and before I wrap things up, Mobile gamers are not being left out of the awesomeness. 

Even though the action could've been longer in the trailer (Square-Enix)... Deus Ex Go, looks like it could be very interesting. What i'm curious about mostly is... how they're going to change things up to fit the Deus Ex world. I don't just want to navigate from point to point in a dull layout.

Just like in Lara Croft Go & Hitman Go, you get a different feel in art style... and I want to see how the world can be presented in this game. Having cities to play through would be cool and with what I've experienced thus far in the GO game's, I have faith that it would work out well.

+1, Share, Get your hands on some ISG apparel and... Game on!

Our booth will be located in the West Hall, #5000. The following titles have not yet been rated by the ESRB unless stated otherwise. Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star PlayStation®4 and  "PSVita"  [Release: Winter] Expanding upon the extensive and much-beloved Fate universe with a standalone story from acclaimed series writer Kinoko Nasu (of Fate/stay night fame),Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star, developed by Marvelous Inc., transpires through a diverse cast of "Servants" - ancient warriors of legend and imagination, in loyal service to their Masters - who survived the Holy Grail War that took place on the Moon. In a future ruled by the all-powerful lunar super computer Moon Cell Automaton, these champions now duke it out for dominance over this digital realm, known as "SE.RA.PH." This story takes place after the events described inFate/EXTRA, and depicts the world after that previous Holy Grail War. Players will experience the story from the independent perspectives of the three heroine Servants and face off in fast-paced action against foes from a variety of Fate productions, including characters from Fate/stay night, Fate/Apocrypha and Fate/Grand Order. A new form change battle mechanic debuts in this entry to match its series-first gameplay style, transforming the player-controlled Servants and granting them considerable powers that allow them to devastate enemies and take formidable challenges head-on. Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns Nintendo 3DS™  [Release: 2017] In celebration of the upcoming 20th anniversary of gaming's longest-running farming and life simulation series, this newest entry in the beloved Bokujo Monogatari franchise - now known as STORY OF SEASONS in the West - delivers the biggest adventure yet in STORY OF SEASONS: Trio of Towns. Settled on a homestead in the middle of three distinct and uniquely themed locales, players can explore a diverse landscape as they search for new ways to grow their farms and friendships. Extensive customization and gameplay options are on offer in Trio of Towns, with each village offering its own variety of regional crops, lads and ladies to romance, animals, festivals, furniture, decorations and more. More ways to play sprout up as players connect to one another locally or via the internet to chat, trade, and enhance items on a mysterious multiplayer island. The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II PlayStation®3 and  "PSVita"     [Release: Fall 2016] The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II picks up one month after the decisive collision which changed the fate of the entire nation at the conclusion of Trails of Cold Steel. Speedy, tactical turn-based combat with the newly-developed "ARCUS" system returns with all the bells and whistles players fondly remember alongside a new Overdrive mode, new means of transportation covering both land and sky, new allies, new dangers, and a renewed sense of hope as Rean tirelessly works to right the wrongs that have led the country to disarray. Cross-Save functionality between the game's "PSVita" and PS3™ editions returns, and clear data from the first game grants bonus stats and extra items. In addition, relationships cultivated during the earlier time players spent at Thors Military Academy affect future story elements and allow for more personalized conversations throughout the game. Corpse PartyNintendo 3DS™   [Release: Summer 2016]  In the critically acclaimed cult hit Corpse Party, players take control of a group of Japanese high school students who inadvertently engage in a pagan ritual and find themselves inexplicably transported into a whole other space: an inescapable echo of a long-since demolished school building where a series of brutal murders once took place. Presented using crisp 2D sprite graphics in a classic 16-bit style, Corpse Party is brought to life with gruesome and horrifyingly detailed portraits and art stills, vividly descriptive text, and binaural 3D audio when played with headphones for a more immersive audioscape. Players' nerves will be thoroughly tested in this horror adventure, which provides a uniquely engrossing and terrifying story-driven experience. Remastered from the 2011 PSP game, the Nintendo 3DS rendition of Corpse Party will feature redrawn, high-resolution character sprites, newly arranged music tracks, and 3D art stills, as well as four new Extra Chapters exclusive to this version that provide insight into lesser-shown characters and plot elements previously left unexplained.
