Deus Ex: The Fall is a mobile FPS
Look, you know by now that you can't judge anything from a game's name, and that you shouldn't be excited by teasers or domain registrations. So here's what Deus Ex: The Fall actually is: a mobile version of the FPS-RPG, coming "soon" to iThings.

The Fall is set in 2027, like Human Revolution, but has you playing as Ben Saxon, star of the tie-in novel Deus Ex: Icarus Effect. He's off an a mission to find out why he was betrayed by his former chums the Tyrants (the folks from HR's boss battles), and may need to elbow-stab some men.
From the announcement trailer, it seems to be a pretty and fairly faithful take on the new Deus Ex model, with first-person shooting and third-person cover and experience points and augmentations and takedowns and all that jazz, though with locking-on so it's playable on mobile screens.
Development is handled by Square Enix Mobile, "in collaboration with" Human Revolution developer Eidos Montreal and N-Fusion. Hit the official site for more.
It'll launch this summer on iOS at $6.99. Square Enix notes in the announcement that it's "the first instalment of the mobile series", so one imagines we'll see more of it.

/facepalm I don't want to rant I really don't.... Are they trying to avoid everything PC and ps3/360 consoles? First they put out directors cut on wii u, that's fine and dandy more power to Wii u owners (Problem is I don't own a wii u). Now this a completely new game on the the what? Ipad/Iphone?? Two things I do not own. At least put it on Android phones, and tablets. (two things I own) I'm a huge fan of this game and can't believe I won't be able to play any of these versions thanks to the hardware they put the game on. It would be awesome if they put this on pc/console as DLC... Maybe? What a waste of resources to do this, I don't know for sure but are FPS's really that popular on phones/ipads? Touch pad controls are shit compared to controllers....

In my experience FPS games don't play very well with touch controls, unless it's on rails, but then that's a Rail Shooter not an FPS.
Sadly, I doubt it will come to Android, or at least not with any haste. Android owners, I guess, just don't buy stuff, so I hear from most devs anyway.

tha fuq is this shit?

I'd rather have a game on a traditional platform, but I guess I can't complain.
Unless the game is an overpriced mess that is a massive microtransaction cash grab on top of a $18 price tag.... as SE IOS games tend to be.
On the other hand if it's a good game well catered to the system with fair pricing, then kudos. Success of this can lead to the funding of other good projects.
I'm realistic though. I won't keep my fingers crossed long. It wouldn't surprise me if this app is at least $15.-
Nevermind, I didn't read the price at the end.

$6.99 seems pretty cheap for a SE game. (judging by how they like to price their FF titles)

That's pretty disappointing.

Just who the hell makes these kinds of decisions? Not people who play games, I can tell you that.

Funny how the word "mobile" can take me from utter excitement to complete disappointment.

What. Maybe they'll come up with a nice control setup. :(

impossible

Ouya this please. kthx

Dual virtual sticks are stupid. I wouldn't buy it even if I did own an iOS device. Trying to shoehorn the control scheme from the main games onto a device that has no analog sticks or dpad is foolhardy design.

Deus Ex: The Fall of the Series (Again)...goddammit :(

"We made a sequel that no one liked... cos we dumbed it down too much... cos we're thiiiiiiiiiiick." -- Zero Punctuation song to the tune of the Deus Ex theme at the end of the Guitar Hero World Tour review. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j8jMn2Kcgs

Well I think it looks cool. :( I'm kinda used to dual-stick touch controls now, and I'd love to play a bit of Deus Ex anywhere.
I mean yeah, it'd be cool to have the game on more suited platforms, but I can pretty much guarantee that these guys were told to make a mobile title and this is what they came up with. I really doubt they went "Hey let's make more Deus Ex" and got told "You must do it for mobile". -
