Yep, You Can Take Down Mankind Divided Bosses With Stealth

Ben-Dutka 4 Comments

It was arguably the most common complaint and the biggest problem concerning Deus Ex: Human Revolution : The boss fights.

While the rest of the game let you play as you pleased, the boss encounters didn't allow for a stealth approach, which many found irritating.

So naturally, fans want to know how Eidos Montreal will approach the boss fights in the upcoming Deus Ex: Mankind Divided . Thankfully, in a recent OXM interview , gameplay director Patrick Fortier has eased our concerns:

"That was the main thing that was missing from the boss fights [in Human Revolution]. Thematically, I think they were interesting, but certain players found a challenge there that wasn't really catered to them.

There are ways to stealth them, there are ways to beat them in combat and there are conversations that you can have that maybe give you a different means of dealing with the situation altogether."

It also seems clear they're developing these boss fights in-house this time, which certainly helps. The new Deus Ex sees the return of protagonist Adam Jensen two years after the events of Human Revolution , and the tension between augmented humans and non-augmented humans has reached a fever pitch.

The anticipated follow-up is due out next year. In the meantime, if you want to see 25 minutes of awesome gameplay , feel free.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut Goes Multiplatform

Ben-Dutka 13 Comments

With the exception of some boss fights that just don't fit, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is still one of the best games of the generation. Trust us.

And besides, the new Director's Cut fixes those controversial boss encounters, and it offers several other upgrades and enhancements, too. Prior to E3, this fresh iteration was only confirmed for Nintendo's Wii U, but Square Enix has informed GameSpot that it will also be coming to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC later this year.

We don't know if this will be available as DLC for current owners, but that'd be very nice. This expanded edition will boast Tong's Rescue mission as well as the Missing Link DLC, along with "redefined" game balance and combat, improved AI, and updated graphics. If they really fixed those boss battles, this game suddenly becomes an absolute elite title, and a definite must-play. Do yourself a favor and play it.

Deus Ex: The Fall To Be Revealed At E3?

Ben-Dutka 16 Comments

Looks like another reason to be excited for E3 next week.

Eidos Montreal made everyone's Monday a little better today, as they posted up an encouraging Tweet , which apparently hints at the imminent unveiling of a new Deus Ex title:

"Are YOU ready for The Fall?"

Square Enix registered several domains earlier this year that indicated a game called "Deus Ex: The Fall," so this is a good sign. We know Eidos Montreal is currently working on the next-gen reboot of Thief (which remains one of our most anticipated future games), and to hear about another Deus Ex only increases our excitement. Deus Ex: Human Revolution was a great game and provided Eidos doesn't farm out the boss fights again, the new effort should be even better. Can't wait to see it revealed!

Human Revolution Live-Action Teaser Exudes Coolness

John-Shepard 13 Comments

We've seen some awfully creative videos over the past few weeks and months, and the latest pays homage to one of 2011's very best.

That would be Deus Ex: Human Revolution , which won widespread critical acclaim for its excellent combination of role-playing and storytelling elements. The concept and setting remains a definite highlight, which might be why the inherent ideas make for such an interesting live-action teaser.

This particular teaser for a short flick by DCode Films shows us the bad-ass side of Human Revolution , and one can only hope that the end result boasts equally high production values. At the very least, it's worthy checking out, mainly 'cuz a dude like Adam Jensen is just totally awesome in every sense of the word. This is why he'd do well on the big screen, right?
