Deus Ex: Human Revolution Message Board

Never mind the fact this is a fan project. Human Revolution is a Deus Ex short film that's easily on par with anything we would have expected from, say, a commercial TV network.Read more...

News of the now: there is a newish Deus Ex game on Steam. Deus Ex: The Fall is a conversion of the mobile game from a few years back, one that did an okay job of squeezing down to be prodded and poked at by commuters. I warn you, despite being a slice of Human Revolution-esque Deus Ex, the launch trailer below makes it look pretty bad. Better augment your eyes before watching.

So it continues. It’s once again preening season in the gaming industry (Start of the year! Financial results! Losses! Fun, fun, fun!), and big studios are tightening their stylishly arrayed goth belts. 2K Czech, EA’s Ghost Games, Irrational, Disney Interactive, and Turbine have all taken their licks on the chopping block, and now reports suggest that Thief and Deus Ex developer Eidos Montreal is up next. Kotaku sources suggested that more than 20 developers are back out on the mean streets of the city after spending eons working on the mean streets of The City. We got in touch with Square Enix, and they confirmed the unfortunate news.

Before Eidos Montreal tore the internet asunder with their Thief reboot, they made Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It was well liked upon release, but I still feel like it doesn’t get enough attention. It did, however, get a recent, somewhat crappy tablet spin-off called The Fall.

That spin-off is now coming to PC on March 25th. If it was somewhat crappy, why does that matter? When The Fall is all there is of Deus Ex, it matters. … [visit site to read more]

Today, Square Enix released a newly updated version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution called the Director's Cut. It makes a good number of improvements and additions to an already great game. Read more...

Maybe one day, we'll all have cybernetic eyeball implants that will grant us perfect 20/20 vision and allow us to be monitored by the government agency of our choice. Sadly, as The Sun's editors will probably find out soon, today is not that day.Read more...

The next bright, gold sun in the Deus Ex Universe might be on the way, but that doesn’t mean we’ve seen all Deus Ex: Human Revolution has to offer just yet. There’s more stuff – some of which was cut. By directors. But now it’s back, and some of it is entirely new. Also, Eidos Montreal is claiming that boss fights are now less awful. Is it an honest-to-goodness miracle or merely hyper-sophisticated science in the trench-coat-clad guise of wizardry? We’ll probably never know. But I can say this much with certainty: Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut is just around the corner, and it’s actually quite cheap – especially if you already own the vanilla version of HR.

Against all odds, Deus Ex: Human Revolution was marvelous. It wasn’t quite a perfect continuation of the original’s legendary legacy (and those boss fights were utterly atrocious), but it let us dissect a rich and, um, very gold cyberpunk world with a surgeon’s belt of clever tech toys. Also vents. Just the right number of vents. But what’s next? Well, Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut is coming out on October 22nd, but that’s just tying up some loose ends. Deus Ex: Universe, however, is the future, and it promises to be quite grand in scope indeed.

Oh, video game marketing, you are the worst of all the marketings. Five seconds! What a shame. Most of said five second teaser trailer is a logo. The rest of which is a voice – is that Bob Page or do my ears deceive me? – saying “are we ready to begin?” Oh, I’ve spoiled it now. Yes, much internal RPS grumpiness about the paucity of this teaser trailer for what appears to be a new Deus Ex game, subtitled The Fall. Some claimed we shouldn’t post it all. Others claimed we should fill the internets with rabid speculation. Then there was me, just trying to fill a bit of space before posting the video.(more…)

In March, Square Enix registered some websites for something called Deus Ex: The Fall. It didn't raise too many eyebrows at the time because, whatever, dummy and decoy websites get made all the time. But today, only a week out from E3, the official Twitter account of Eidos Montreal - the developers behind Deus Ex: Human Revolution - said this: Are YOU ready for The Fall? — Eidos-Montréal (@eidosmontreal) June 3, 2013 Well now. It's been two years since Human Revolution was released, so we're about due to see a follow-up. Exciting. UPDATE - Now with video.

Sethers15 is the lucky person who gets to sleep and game in this room every day now. The very lucky person. When I first saw it, when Mark from Kotaku AU just showed me the pictures, I said "these are the most boring Deus Ex screenshots I've ever seen". So, yeah, a good job has been done here. Recently designed my room based off my all time favorite game with the most amazing aesthetics, Deus Ex Here are the results! [Reddit]

The guy who voiced Adam Jensen hosted The Canadian Video Game Awards this past weekend. In its fourth year, the industry celebration inadvertently became a gathering of first-class voice actors. But, as you can see in the backstage video with Deus Ex: Human Revolution’s Elias Toufexis and Far Cry 3’s Michael Mando, they don’t all get along. That bit of improvised fun is great but the CVAs actually go a long way to showing that Canada is a video game development power that ranks right up there with the United States and Japan. Or listen to what Scott Jones—co-host of video game culture TV show The Electric Playground, along with CVAs co-founder Victor Lucas —has to say: Having lived as an ex-patriot here in British Columbia for four years now, and having gotten the chance to get to know a lot of game developers located here (and in Toronto, Montreal, and Edmonton) on a personal level, one other thing that Canadians are unfortunately known for is being overly humble. Seriously, these folks seem reluctant to take credit for anything. That's where the CVA's come in. This is the one day out of the year when Canadian game-makers put aside their humbleness and, very reluctantly, step into the spotlight. They deserve that spotlight, too. Look over the list of nominees and winners from the past weekend’s awards. FIFA '13. Assassin's Creed III. Papo & Yo. Mark of the Ninja. Whether it’s AAA or indie, great stuff is happening in Canada.

We sat out April Fools’ Day entirely on RPS, because we are cheerless *crag*s who can’t abide even the mere idea of other people having a laugh. Also because it was a bank holiday in the UK, but, y’know, principles. The upside of this is that I can safely ignore everything which arrived in my inbox yesterday. The downside is that a couple of genuinely lovely things get overlooked. Thus, I shall break all the rules and not overlook a couple of them after all. For instance, Eidos Montreal’s Deus Ex: Human Defiance, which starts off with the rather videogames industry-stereotypical April 1 jape of ‘hey wouldn’t it be funny if we went retro?’ but winds up, perhaps inadvertently, making a 16-bit, 2D, reductive Deus Ex look hugely appealing.(more…)

The Deus Ex: Human Defiance news teased by Eidos Montreal yesterday turned out to be an appeal for fan support for a pseudo-8-bit sequel, which uses the greatly reduced budget required for graphics to add two new cities, Montreal and Moscow.

This is clearly an April Fools' Day joke - and the winky-face Facebook response makes that even clearer - but it resulted in some real news. "Deus Ex: Human Defiance" was trademarked by Square Enix Europe, and related domains were registered by CBS Films, but the developer revealed in a comment on its Facebook page that "the Human Defiance name was registered on the off-chance it we might need it, but it was decided later that it wouldn't be used." Thus, it was repurposed for this joke.

Following his exploration of that murky world of game-to-film adaptations, movie brat David Valjalo finds himself in deep debate with Deus Ex overlord David Anfossi, talking cyberpunk, Sergio Leone and why the forthcoming Deus Ex film will break the trend and be one to watch.(more…)

Now, don’t go jumping to any conclusions just yet. That’s how poor old Richard Kimble ended up having such a hard time of things. All that’s happened is that Squeenix have taken out a trademark in the name of ‘Deus Ex: Human Defiance.’ It could be anything. It could be nothing. It could be a game. It could be a movie. It could be another ropey spin-off comic. It could be a typo. It could be the official Deus Ex pancake mix.

It’s probably a game though, innit?(more…)

Deus Ex: Human Revolution film scribe C. Robert Cargill and director Scott Derrickson claim they're taking care to present a believable cyberpunk setting in their upcoming film, based on the Eidos Montreal game.

"Yeah, the chief philosophy is we're not making a video game movie, we're making a cyberpunk movie," Deus Ex film co-writer C. Robert Cargill says in an interview with Crave Online. "We've taken a look at what's worked in video games and what hasn't, and really what we've broken down is what we think the audience really wants, [what] the audience that loves Deus Ex is going to want to see out of a Deus Ex movie. And it's not a rehashing of the game."

The duo, which think of Mortal Kombat as the best video game movie yet made, will borrow motifs from the game, rather than attempt to replicate specific events. "The thing about Deus Ex, the landscape is massive. I mean, it is a big, broad, sprawling game, and look, it's impossible to get the aesthetic of that game into a single movie," Derrickson says. "That's the nature of turning a video game into a movie, is keeping the elements that are iconic and important, [that] advance the game, but also recognizing that if that's all you do, you'll just make another bad video game movie."

According to Derrickson, there's a draft of the film already, and the process as a whole is "moving like a rocket."

#deusex Director Scott Derrickson and co-writer C. Robert Cargill have been speaking with Crave about the upcoming Deus Ex movie project, and things are, at least from a philosophical standpoint, sounding promising. More »

Somewhat surprisingly (by which I mean completely unsurprisingly, given the era in which we live), Tomb Raider has multiplayer. Naturally, this has been a source of great outrage among even the least fly-harming-est of gamers, as it’s a distinct disruption of The Natural Order. Granted, it does have two things working in its favor: 1) Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light added co-op multi to pretty great effect and 2) the mode’s an entirely separate, presumably cybernetic leg of the game being attached by none other than Deus Ex: Human Revolution developer Eidos Montreal. Here, now, brown cow, is a video of some finely mustachioed men introducing it to the star of spy dramadey Chuck for some reason.

#deusex This isn't an official project. Let's get that out of the way first. This is, believe it or not, a trailer for a fan-made short film, put together by a (relatively) small crew and making the most of some very talented actors, effects people and martial artists/stunt performers. More »

Why distort one beloved franchise when you can do two at once? The latest DLC for Hitman: Ablutions once again fails to new missions, ideally in a Streets of Hope vein, but instead a new costume and gun which can only be used in the Contracts mode. This new costume is the kevlar’n'metal duds of one Adam Jensen, he of Deus Ex: Human Revolution fame. This happens due to Hitman and Deux Ex being publisher stablemates, of course. As far as I can tell there is no narrative justification for why Baldy McChoke would come to acquire the augmented form of a mopey, bearded cyborg from the future, but hell, if Ridley Scott can contrive to unite the Blade Runner and Alien universes then this is no less silly.

The DXHR togs do make 47 look a bit like Gunther, mind.(more…)

#deusex Deus Ex: Human Revolution happened in 2027. Last year's hit stealth/action hybrid featured Adam Jensen, a lead character who sported cool, lethal cybernetics in his rebuilt body. Nigel Ackland isn't a shooting/sneaking action hero, but he's a huge step closer to the augmented humans in Deus Ex's future. More »

#watchthis So "better" might be subjective. But while I absolutely adored Deus Ex: Human Revolution as it was, I would totally play this pop art version of it. It's also making my heart ache to play the game again. More »

#fineart Based in Montreal, concept artist Donglu Yu has worked on two of the prettiest video game properties around: Deus Ex and Assassin's Creed. More »

#fineart Sebastien Larroudé is one of my favourite concept artists working today. Formerly a senior concept artist at Eidos, where he worked on Thief 4 and Deus Ex (we actually featured some of his DE:HR work previously here), Larroudé - aka Rainart - now heads up Steambot Studios, a collection of brilliant artists that includes the likes of Thierry "BARONTiERi" Doizon.

#deusex Say what you want about its lackluster boss battles, but no one can say that Deus Ex: Human Revolution wasn't a great looking game. However, the glitch that Reddit user TheFightingDumples encountered stripped away all of the shooter's detailed textures and replaced them with eye-popping colors. If only there were more games that had this much style on purpose… More »

As the man behind titles such as System Shock, Thief and Deus Ex, it's no surprise Warren Spector has a slightly warped sense of humor. For example, when naming Deus Ex, Spector thought it would be funny to pick a title that some people would be hesitant to pronounce, and he still thinks it's funny, even though that name ultimately cost Eidos sales. Spector knows exactly why:

"People don't want to go into their game store and ask for the 'Do Sex' game," Spector said, still chuckling.
