replyhmm that 2nd pic, the city looks too 'futuristic', considering this game takes place before dx1's time. from my understanding of DX lore the game world should be relatively the same as present day, except with small injections of nano-tech integration into society here and there.

I always had the impression Deus Ex had too small a production value to really flesh out the world they wanted to create. In the original you experience a post-collapse US, even before the malfunctioning nanomachine clouds harm the planet as depicted in DX2 you get a sense most states are littered with ghost towns and something really bad happened in the East Coast. The oft-praised Gas Station level depicts not only abandonment and economical ruin outside the large cities, but a completely destroyed highway/bridge that looks a bit too post-apoc.
They're retconning a lot of the visual guidelines, that's for sure, but crazy gratuitous buildings like that are not so out of place if you look at Taipei, Indonesia, South Korea and Dubai's skylines.-
I agree. I'm still own mind it. Just how it is closer to Deus Ex/Bioshock and less like Invisible War

Exactly. The in-game fiction talked about moon bases and mass drivers delivering interplanetary mining goods - it was a high-tech world. It's just that you spent most of the game in pre-millenial areas that had the new tech squeezed in where it would fit.
Even Area 51 was described as a weird combination of modern and old 1950's tech.
I was actually going to use Dubai as an example, too.

Actually cybernetics was the big thing for human augmentation during Deus Ex 1. The nanotechnology was just being implemented for human augmentation with JC Denton, your character, being the 2nd agent they where deploying with nanotechnology. So even though nanotechnology was in it's infancy, technology in general was more advanced than even today.
