Trailer Shows off Wii U Exclusive Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut

[Sigmund Av Volsung]

So this is Deus Ex: Human revolution Better Edition?

If they don't patch the original game with those changed boss fights, I'll feel a bit screwed over.

Same here. No attempt to port at least PART of these gameplay improvements to the PC and other platforms = no sale + publisher boycott. If they do not port at least PART of these gameplay improvements then all they are doing is screwing over EVERY loyal customer they got from the game for the chance to use a touchscreen! Not a fair trade IMHO

How?

I mean, it's not as if these are gamebugs or glitches they're fixing here. They're making aesthetic and mechanical changes to the game, and have decided to offer it as a new version. You bought your version of the game, and got what you paid for.

How is this any different to new DVDs of a director's cut? When I picked up Blade Runner: The Final Cut, I didn't see queues of people in HMV demanding that they replace their original DVD of the film with the updated one. I imagine these new changes to the game cost time and money to develop, and I don't see a problem with Eidos/Square trying to get a return on investment.

Better boss fights; the boss-fights were terrible and unlike the proper Deus Ex experience we wanted/were (sort of) promised.

With the ones we have now, you have to specialize to some degree in combat/buy lethal weapons if you want to progress in the game, which skews the gameplay and directs players towards a certain approach.

Hell, even if the boss fights were DLC it would still be more reasonable.

An example of this in another game: Imagine in KoTOR II, that every single jedi/sith that you fought would negate you the use of force powers and only allow you to fight them with blasters.

Then years down the line, they release a port for the PS3 with improved Boss fights that allowed you to use any weapon/force power against them.

Also the fact that the version fixes bugs makes it even more suspect; if they don't patch the other versions on release (the ones that fix the bugs) then they will essentially degrade the value of the original version of the game, and forces those whose experience was ruined by bugs/boss fights to buy the Wii U version, or even buy a Wii U AND the game with it.

It feels like a cynical attempt(at closer examination) to shift more Wii U units.

Wait, My Copy of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (original) is sitting in the corner...

I SHOULD TOTALLY BOYCOTT KONAMI UNTIL THEY GIVE ME A FREE UPGRADE TO SUBSISTANCE WITH HD GRAPHICS!

That is what you sound like. These are large mechanical changes to the game. This has been done before. Why should you get a free upgrade?

Probably should edit my original post; I was fuming at the time(more so, but I still am) at the better boss fights thing.

If they do it as a DLC I suppose I'll be OK with it; hell, Shogun 2 released a graphical option as DLC, and I didn't see anything wrong with(as it is dirt-cheap)

Good, I've been waiting for more games to play on my Wii-U, Deus Ex, the Awesome edition? Sold.

And before anyone asks, Monster Hunter failed to impress me the few times I tried it on PSP, even with people telling me that my Dark Souls inclinations should translate into undying love for some reason.

I've never played Dark Souls or Demon Souls or Dark Souls II...assuming that's out...anyway, I've seen enough gameplay of it to wonder out loud...what makes people compare Dark Souls with Monster Hunter...? The monster designs for DS are similar I suppose (and R-Rated to the PG/PG-13 monsters of Monster Hunter) but gameplay wise I don't see as many similarities as other people.

---

I've bought worse games multiple times so once this is out on the U I'll be happily shelling out for my copy. I can't wait to see how the new boss fights go over. The way the gamepad is going to be used seems obvious but that isn't a bad thing. Hopefully I'll have completed Lego City Undercover and Lego Batman before this is out. I would mention Monster Hunter again but I don't think that game...well, ends.

I called this a couple of weeks ago by the way so place your bets: I'm guessing within the next few weeks X-Com: Enemy Unknown will be the next game ported to the U.

I've seen people try to compare Dark Souls to Zelda and Skyrim. It was HILARIOUS how people tried to manufacture some artificial rivalry between Dark Souls, Skyrim, and Skyward Sword back in 2011.

This and the Wii U version of Resident Evil: Revelations are the only times I've considered rebuying a game that wasn't a fighting game. It looks like they are legitimately improving and expanding on the game as opposed to just slapping on some Wii U features and calling it a day.

 

[Dr.Awkward]

There's a lot of things they could fix now that they're revisiting the game; not only could they bring the redesigns into the boss fights, they could also add an upgrade package to the augmented edition on Steam and other digital distribution services. (In fact, why are most companies forgetting or ignoring the ability to add package upgrades in the first place?)

Fun fact: I could've actually been an Adam Jensen, if things didn't fall apart very quickly on that one fateful night...

You don't need an entirely different DVD player to watch Blade Runner: The Final Cut. And it's "only" 20-30$.

Unless the "DVD" is actually a newly released Blu-Ray and you don't have a player for it...

OT: I dunno, I sort of figured out that games like this don't really sell on the WiiU (Updated Ports that were on Non-Nintendo Consoles), so I don't know how successful this will be. Maybe I can pick it up, but I dunno...

 

[New Frontiersman]

Hm, sounds cool. I played the game on the PC and didn't enjoy it that much so I doubt I'll get this version, maybe when the price comes down a little. It's nice to hear the Wii U is getting some new games though.

Also, I feel like putting this out there, some of the complaints I've been hearing in this thread sound really petty. It's coming to the Wii U, get over it guys.

 

[1337mokro]

You know... the PC kinda wants those boss fights.

I am not going to buy the WiiU version because fuck that overpriced thing, but the boss fights would secure me buying the next game a bit more. Show me what you CAN do with the boss fights cause quite honestly? HR was middle of the road for me. Let's see if the upgraded edition can push that into the Good zone, show me what you got.

I'm not saying much, except that I might not be so inclined to buy Deus Ex Human Defiance (might as well call the sequel the april foold name) if I know the WiiRU is getting an updated version later on with all the suck ironed out, might as well save the 50$ and pick up the 10$ collectors super complete edition instead.

and is already on the PC, 360 and PS3... just not patched up to date like the WiiU version.

You know if it was like a new game you had a point, like Bayonetta 2, which basically was Ninten-do or die. However this is basically HR with an update to remove the bad parts.

It would take 5 seconds to patch my game up to speed. Heck I'd probably shell out 5$ for redesigned maps, better graphics, new boss fights, etc.

We're in the internet age here. One thing the internet people don't like is early supporters being stuck with an inferior (in some parts quite horrible) version of a product that they supported. A product that now involves a 250$ purchase on top of another 60$ to play it if you want that update.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

I don't understand to what sort of people (that bought a WiiU) appeals to honestly. The game's been out for 2 years and everyone who was interested in the title has played it on either PC or PS3/X360.

Unless you are that type of person that waits until all the DLC's and what not release before buying the game (which completely baffles my mind why would you do that), I don't think this will sell very much on the WiiU however.

I don't really care if they don't patch the boss fights or not. I've already played and finished the game twice so I'm kinda done with it until the next game of the franchise comes around.
