>game is set decades into the future
>security cameras have dead angles and need to slowly pan around an area
Explain this bulshit.

it's a thematic sacrifice for gameplay reasons. replacing cameras that you can time to get around with cameras you can't doesn't makes stealth a lot less fun, so it's not like that.

People are cheapskates and buy the shittiest cameras.

Deus Ex 1 got the whole "future cities" thing right: it's just what we have now with cutting edge technological appliances peppered throughout instead of flying cars and chrome buildings and Midgar-like "rich quarters" above ghettos that Human Revolution did.
I think it makes the game timeless, in a way.
