Does anyone here notice the stylistic similarity to The Matrix? Both featured a protagonist with a trench coat and black shades. I wonder if The Matrix inspired the design team of Deus Ex in some ways.
- kemayo 6y agoThe Matrix came ~9 months before Deus Ex, so their productions definitely overlapped but they'd have had time to assimilate some stuff if they wanted to. That said, it's more that they're both drawing on similar cyberpunk traditions. There's a clear line between the aesthetic of Neuromancer and Deus Ex / The Matrix both.
- djur 6y agoThere's a Matrix easter egg in Deus Ex (the cheat code 'thereisnospoon') so they were definitely aware of the similarities. They're really only superficially similar in aesthetics and broad themes, though.
