Deus Ex : Human Revolution gameplay

[MiracleOfSound]

Looks pretty cool, if not quite the innovative, world changing masterpiece we've been led to believe:


Something tells me this game is going to be hugely divisive in the way that Fallout 3 and Dragon Age 2 were.

What do you guys think?

I saw it earlier today and it made my expectations of this game reach a boiling point. August can't come soon enough.

THAT'S how you pronounce "Deus"? I always thought it rhymed with Zeus.
Mah bad.

Ugh, it looks so good. I'm so pumped for it right now. Jeebus.
I love seeing a game that doesn't sacrifice the gameplay for the story.

 

[GiantRaven]

Looks utterly fantastic. Can't wait to get my hands on it. =D

....Oh...Em....Gravy.

Yeah, they obviously understood what made the first game great. I'm getting VERY VERY tempted to pre-order this....

I know for a fact I'll be dong what I did in the first Deus ex. Sneaking in the back way, Setting up ambushes, and then unleashing murder on anything dumb enough to fall into them. >

Looks great! I can't wait to play it in August :3

I missed out on Deus Ex when it came out. Still need to get round to playing it, everyone seems to regard it as gaming's Crown Jewel.

So, cant say if this is dumbed down by comparison. It certainly looks more to have more depth then pretty much anything released in the last 3 years.

Metal Gear Solid 4 was the last game I can remember playing that gave similar in-game choices about how to handle a situation. Funny how the art style is very similar.
Looking forward to trying a demo out anyway!

I don't approve of the blatant bright yellow highlighting of every interactive object in the game. But besides that, it looks totally awesome.

 

[park92]

looks good but it'd be better if they didn't highlight everything

 

[Irridium]

I want this. Like, right god damn now.

I have to agree on the yellow highlighting; it reminds me of the blue highlighting in Thief 3. I think it was the third one at least.

That said, I do look forward to playing it. I am late to the party for the series. I already have the first one and have been meaning to play it. All the more excuse to do so.

The question is, should I get the second to catch up with the story or just read about what happens?

 

[AmbitiousWorm]

looks really sweet. But whats with the zooming in of the characters back every time he goes down a ladder?

 

[viranimus]

The multiple paths was the only thing I was concerned about with this. I am 100% completely sold on this game now.

Human Revolution is pretty much a prequel to the first Deus Ex, so I don't think you'd need to really catch up on anything to play it. But you should play it anyway. It wasn't nearly as good as the first game (they dumbed down the gameplay a ton), but it was still fun and the story was pretty good.

I will repeat my opinion of this game that I posted elsewhere. *ahem*

MOTHERFLUFFING TRENCHCOATS HOW CAN THIS GAME POSSIBLY BE BAD?!

 

[Skyline16]

It looks really good, i just think the glowing objectives thing might get a bit annoying at points
also, this made me put this game up on my anticipated games for the rest of this year
