Deus Ex Trailer Promises Secret Global Revolution

The fantastic-looking Deus Ex: Human Revolution [http://www.amazon.com/Deus-Ex-Human-Revolution-Pc/dp/B002I0HKRQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1285081484&sr=1-1] trailer from last week's TGS promises that the world will be revolutionized - if it isn't destroyed first.

What do I like about this TGS '10 trailer for Deus Ex: Human Revolution? Man, what don't I like about it?

Nobody can say that this trailer isn't incredibly stylish. Just-a-bit-in-the-future Shanghai has a wonderful dystopian look to it that's very reminiscent of Final Fantasy VII's Midgar without the giant swords and pointy hair. The visual aesthetic is tremendously appealing, particularly when the sexy femmes fatales start walking around in skintight leather.

And speaking of sexy femmes fatales in skintight leather, the action looks pretty rockin', too. I'd have loved to see more ways for the protagonist to approach a situation beyond just "shoot and/or stab things until the problem is solved," but I can appreciate a well-done action sequence as much as the next man.

But the best compliment I can give this trailer is that it made The Escapist newsroom's very own grumpy PC diehard Andy Chalk excited for the game. And that, my friends, is a feat in itself.

Consider me officially psyched.

That does look incredible.
....
Do we know how the combat will play?? Because i'm not overly impressed with SE's last battle system.

It's not the combat I'm worried about. It's everything else. Hopefully they do it well (I'm thinking original Deus Ex standards here).

 

[Cherry Cola]

I must say, I'm getting more and more exited over this game by the minute.

That looks so cool... forget the haters. This is looks great. Now just the gameplay. Show me the gameplay.

Oh and by the way, the age detector doesn't count if you go straight to the comments page to escapist staff it may concern. I'm 16, so by UK standards I reckon I'm fine but sorry if I'm not. My friend just alerted me to this since I usually just go over to the comments page anyway when I see a newspost.

Calumon: Sorry if we did bad. : / I didn't see it though so... Fair?

It's been quite a while since a trailer hit me that way. I want this to be.

I read complete global saturation in the header...


Wesker would actually fit into this game rather well...

Struck me as a hell of a lot less subtle. If there is one thing I associate with the first Deus Ex, it certainly isn't open massive gun battles. So it certainly won't be the same. We can hope it is good, though.

What's the [h+] 3 at the end of the trailer supposed to mean?

A google search only brought up hydronium.

 

[Irridium]

As I said in the other thread, it does indeed look nice, but I can't really be sure about buying it until I see some gameplay.

And I can't say I like the main character's voice. Too wheezy for me.

What's the [h+] 3 at the end of the trailer supposed to mean?

A google search only brought up hydronium.

Maybe h+ stands for "augmented human". And the power of three could mean either that it's the third Deus Ex title, or that some h+ is incredibly badass.

Really like that line that closes out the trailer : "it's not the end of the world, but you can see it from here".

Also, it's good to see that it's not all the world that's seemingly permanently bathed in orange light.

Really need to get some more information on this game: augs, skill levels and (as I am hardwired to mention in every DX related thread) curious discussions around the nature of existence and government and the like. Hopefully none of that has been sacrificed.

 

[Flamezdudes]

Ok.

I'm convinced, i'm definatly gonna buy this... if the combat is good. If so, it's going to be awesome.

 

[sovietkitty101]

i have no idea what thats about, but i know its the coolest fucking thing i have ever seen

 

[Axolotl]

It still looks fucking yellow.

And not like Deus Ex.

 

[SovietSecrets]

Mmmm chills down the spine, can't wait for this.

 

[Serenegoose]

The main character sounds a bit like Walton Simons, eh?

Still, love that trailer. So beautiful and cyberpunk and perfect and *sigh*
