Deus Ex: Gunther Vs Paul - A DX Fan Film
Фильм және анимация
Created several years ago and uploaded onto the Machinima KZread Channel before they shutdown, this is a short animated fan film based upon the videogame Deus Ex created back in 2000, but now uploaded here in glorious HD!
JCDenton and Paul Denton both arrive back in their apartment only to be ambushed by Unatco troops and Agent Gunther Hermann intent on arresting the two brothers, however Paul decides to sacrifice himself and takes on the towering Gunther by himself.
All created by myself, music created by Scott Morgan, and several voice actors listed in the credits.

Paraphrasing a legendary comment: Now do the canon version: Paul kills all the UNATCO troops and MIBs while JC hides in the closet eating soy food.

If you do that he doesn’t live later in the game. You can save him by simply sunning out and getting killed first or killing all 15-20 units outside the room before paul runs out

To save Paul, you need to exit Ton Hotel through the front door. Once you step out of the window, Paul is dead.

no even better, jc immediately shoots a LAW or GEP gun missile at his feet and blows himself up as soon as he finishes speaking to paul which for some reason makes paul live
I love the small details given to characters, like how even Gunther feels a spark of sympathy once he sees how badly Paul is suffering from his Kill Switch

Also the little detail of JC's eyes showing blue at 0:57. As if he's raring to go. Really, give this guy a studio and a team to put an animation for the game together. It deserves it. I'm hoping he finishes up the JC vs Navarre piece some day.

It was a pleasure to voice J.C. for this video so many years ago. 💪😎🤟 I'd happily do a lot more V.O. work of the character, but until then, I actually made a pretty killer cosplay of Denton (on my own channel here), including the glowing glasses, working Dragon Sword prop, and a fun futuristic-looking gun.

Can you link your denton video I have been looking for like 15 minutes. Thanks
I like that the bathrooms are looking exactly as strange as in the game. You nailed the subtle dreamlike oddity of proportions, lighting and texture limitations of Unreal Engine 1 games of that era. I LOVE it!
this is ludicrously cool even with the deviations from the game, how edgy it is and the weird artstyle, thanks

"How edgy it is" you sound like a zoomer teenager who treats any hint of seriousness as if it's something surreal. because he's used to having an awkward anticlimactic joke in the dialouge every 2 minutes, just like they do in marvel movies. "edgy" give me a a break...

Honestly this art style works very well
I love how Paul is using Martial Arts, he probably learned it from his time in Hong Kong.
I haven't seen this Deus Ex fan film in years. Good on you for showing how Paul Denton suffered from the killswitch that caused him pain whereas the original game had him stuck to a chair with no visible signs whatsoever. At least we fans got to see him fight Gunther Hermann personally.

There were a lot of limitations back in 2000, but Ion Storm ended up making one of the best games of the century. To this day, I'd argue that Deus Ex *still* rivals pretty much any game of its style. Not even its sequels were really all that great (which may have been thanks to the key vocal performances of Jay and the others on DX1). I would definitely do the V.O. for J.C. Denton again and again if I was given secondary and tertiary opportunities. 💪😎✌️

@@Novastar.SaberCombat Greetings. So you voiced JC Denton in this fan film? If so, thanks for your performance. Wonder if you'll do JC's memetic lip smacks in the future. I agree that Deus Ex is still top-notch. The story is more relevant nowadays due to current events. Invisible War, too, actually. Now that the franchise belongs to a different company, fingers crossed that remakes for the first two Deus Ex games will happen ... in a few years.

Two words would have prevented all of this. Laputan Machine.
Those iconic orange sodas on top of the cupboards bring back so many memories !
Is this me or does this style remind me of Tron: Uprising? And if so, I'll be frank here: That style suits Deus Ex amazingly for its sci-fi setting, mixed in with the Cyberpunk atmosphere. You have definitely nailed those aspects.
What!! This is unbelievably great! It's what I would imagine if Deus Ex was ever adapted into a movie, they would definitely have Paul fight in a cinematic fashion, along with some changes to what originally happened; dramatize things more. And I can totally imagine Gunther interacting with the MiB like that, it felt like it was actually a dialogue from the game.
A real JC would fight his way out, taking down everybody and show them who's the boss. :D
Impressive, very nice! I hope there was more fan-made content of the first Deus Ex. By the way, Gunther's voice is perfect.
King! Glad you decided to release this legendary animation in HD. This is a treat.
This is so insanely well made.
Glad you brought this classic back and restored it in HD
I remember discovering that you can save Paul and it changed the dialogue a little with maggie. Also he tells you at the end on what to do which was cool
This isn't cannon, but it's still fairly amazing.

Just discovered this video. This is awsome, definetly a work from someome who played and liked the original game. Attention to detail created just the correct atmosphere like Paul's apartment, illumination, music, the agents, voice acting, everything. This could be a very good animated adaptation, respect and greets to you.
I really love this animation, although never EVER I would leave Paul behind to escape. Not in a million years.
This is amazing! I cant imagine how many animations of similar quality being lost due to not getting archived or being a niche site.
You truly made the nano machine technology breaking down terrifying, seizure like and disturbing looking. Masterful animated film, I always wish there could've been a feature length one.
This style really captures the tone of the game
Still an absolute masterpiece! I wish we had a Deus Ex animated series
Man, what a horrible end for such a legendary series.
Damn, why I have found this masterpiece just right now but not earlier! Thanks for great animation of my favourite game!
This is absolutely phenomenal, not sure how I only stumbled upon this thanks to the KZread algorithm. it should be seen everywhere
Awesome animation. I could see this being in a movie.
Reminds me of the 90s Ghost in The Shell movie.

The way this was directed is absolutely stunning. Staging of the scenes is professional. But model's body proportions gone insane... Anyway, this is a masterpiece, considering the visual part was made by 1 person.

Congrats, I love the original Deus Ex, this part was so special the first, the second, and every time I replay the game. The esence es just a little bit different, but is SO GREAT!
I can't believe Gunther almost lost his skool gun.
Man this is veeeeery nostalgic
This is so cool! If it was a show id binge it!
hey, this is really good
3:05 "Why are you locked in the bathroom?"

Excellent.
4:44 JC looking like Postal Dude.
That machima logo is kinda nostalgic
looks sick
Machinima huh... Now that takes me back
There’s so much humanity in all the characters.
was legit confused for a second when the machinima logo popped up
Yep, people respond to nostalgia.
I so much prefer the look of original Deus Ex to HR, hopefully we will get an official remake someday
Deus Ex (the original) would work very well as an animated series, or a 3 hour film with this style.
