A new Deus Ex: Human Revolution trailer has been released by developer Eidos Montreal and publisher Square Enix.Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a prequel in the Deus Ex timeline, but like the previous Deus Ex games, Deus Ex: Human Revolution takes place in a dark, technological world reminiscent of Blade Runner. The year is 2027, human augmentation is new, powerful, and controversial. And the world teeters on the brink of chaos in what is sure to be a corporate and government-laden conspiracy story.
The trailer is all cinematic, but hopefully the mixed stealth, martial arts, and gunplay action in the cinematic is indicative of the gameplay we can expect when it releases sometime in eary 2011. Whether or not the game will live up to the classic Deus Ex remains to be seen. It’s already been revealed that the RPG elements from the game will be gone.
The original and critically-acclaimed Deus Ex was developed by Ion Storm and combined FPS and RPG elements into a story that truly offered the player choices about how to play the game, and those choices actually affected the game’s story. For example, at a key point in the game you could choose to follow orders and execute a target, or disobey orders, at which point you engage your partner in a battle (and kill her). Deus Ex also offered three distinct endings.
Unfortunately, Deus Ex: Invisible War fell a little flat in the footsteps of its predecessor, and played almost like an action-adventure game. It was largely criticized for being overly simplified to accomodate consoles of the day. (As a retrospective ‘review’ of the previous games, we’d give Deus Ex five stars, and Deus Ex 2 three stars.)
So here’s hoping Deus Ex: Human Revolution can live up to its parents and gamers expectations.
