This is a public service announcement. At 4pm GMT (11am EST, 10am CST, 8am PST or “About an hour from now”) we’ll be posting a Deus Ex: Human Revolution info avalanche, or “infavalanche”. You’ll find your protective Infavalanche Goggles under your seat. If there are none there, don’t sweat it. Four out of five of our test subjects survived.

All I really need is a confirmed release date. They had me at Deus Ex.
03/02/2011 at 15:10 Njordsk says:
Same, just want the damn date and roll on.
And a little bit less 3rd person mechanics while we’re at it, but I suspect RPS can’t do anything about that.
03/02/2011 at 15:12 HermitUK says:
I fully expect a mod to fix that within six months of the game’s release.
03/02/2011 at 15:17 rei says:
Within the week.

Desperate.
Your turn.
03/02/2011 at 15:25 WMain00 says:
Desperate.
03/02/2011 at 15:26 Harlander says:
You didn’t spell ‘desperate’ properly.
What a shame.
03/02/2011 at 15:31 WMain00 says:
I wanted an S! It gave me lemon lime.
03/02/2011 at 15:46 Om says:
Are you all forgetting Invisible War?
03/02/2011 at 15:55 Harlander says:
No, I haven’t
I enjoyed Invisible War.
It wasn’t as good as the original, but a lot of decent things aren’t as good as Deus Ex. I’d have liked it to have been better. Maybe this game will be.
Optimism deployed.
03/02/2011 at 15:59 Lacero says:
I thought the story of IW was better than DE. It was let down by levels being too small and that weird universal ammo idea.
03/02/2011 at 16:37 ross_angus says:
But has anyone played Project: Snowblind? It made Invisible War look, well, like Deus Ex.
03/02/2011 at 16:53 Matt says:
I liked Project Snowblind up until the stealth level. Of course, I didn’t expect it to be god’s gift to gaming like Deus Ex, so that may have helped.
04/02/2011 at 08:45 ross_angus says:
Good point: I only bought it for the Deus Ex connection. Perhaps if I’d come at it from the same direction as “Pariah” (released the same year, I think), it would have seemed better.
03/02/2011 at 15:07 Lambchops says:
A bomb!
No, Google reader, it’s just game based information.
What a shame!
it is rather, here have this hot beverage to console yourself.
I spill my drink!
Right that’s enough Deus Ex references from you Mr Reader.

03/02/2011 at 15:10 7rigger says:
I can’t find my infavalanche goggles!
Oh well. It is a pretty sweet way to die :P
03/02/2011 at 15:11 .backslash says:
I don’t need Infavalanche Goggles. My eyes are augmented.
03/02/2011 at 15:12 Flint says:
An info BOMB.
03/02/2011 at 15:13 stahlwerk says:
A lethal infavalanche is always the loudest infavalanche.
03/02/2011 at 15:16 ALJA says:
SWEET!
03/02/2011 at 15:16 CMaster says:
It’s ok, my vision is augmented.
03/02/2011 at 15:17 faelnor says:
I hope the infavalanche will be so THIRD PERSON and will look so FUCKING COOL that Jonathan Jacques-Belletête will want to snowboard on it.
03/02/2011 at 15:20 JohnnyMaverik says:
I can feel my balls tightening O.o
03/02/2011 at 15:21 Jonas says:
You dirty great teases.
03/02/2011 at 15:22 trooperdx3117 says:
Oh god I have no infolanche goggles!
To the infolanche bunker!!!

OH MY GOD THE RAPTURE

I hope you post about the commander ’cause he’s my pal.
03/02/2011 at 15:27 Vadermath says:
Holy shit, this must be quite the infavalanche if it requires an announcement beforehand! I am giddy with excitement!
Oh wait, never mind, just needed to pee. Still, can’t wait!
03/02/2011 at 15:30 Ian says:
They spill their info!
03/02/2011 at 15:30 Mike says:
Can you just post it five minutes early as an act of defiance? These internet deadlines are ridiculous.
03/02/2011 at 15:41 JohnnyMaverik says:
I’m with him… fight the power
03/02/2011 at 15:44 Wooster says:
That infavalanche better include some dates in there.
03/02/2011 at 15:45 jon_hill987 says:
My eyes! The googles do nothing!
Oh wait, were we supposed to be doing Deus Ex references?
03/02/2011 at 15:53 Ian says:
The goggles!

i am glad I searched the comments before putting this exact quote in. Ah the Simpsons, so many good quotes.
03/02/2011 at 15:46 laddyman says:
I feel that it is scientifically impossible for me to give a rat’s nether regions about this game, though that may have something to do with never playing the first Deus Ex, which PC Gamer declares (to paraphrase liberally) “A STONKING MASTERPIECE.”
I will turn in my membership card at the door.
03/02/2011 at 15:47 JohnnyMaverik says:
Alternately you could just play the first game and then join us in our frenzied anticipation…
03/02/2011 at 15:52 westyfield says:
I played it, it sucked.
(I kid, I kid! Please don’t kill me!)
03/02/2011 at 15:59 FriendlyFire says:
It’s like a crossover between Blade Runner and Neuromancer with Matrix-style combat. How can you *NOT* find that awesome?
03/02/2011 at 16:01 daphne says:
That’s not possible… You need to have played Deus Ex to talk about games in the first place.

I will be stoically ignoring all information except the release date and whether 3rd person can be modded out. Join me!

Impossible. “Once the bug bites, you’ve already lost the patient.”

Picked up PC Gamer mag the other day to read a nice 6 page preview, then EG’s fantastic interview yesterday really topped it all off for me. Can’t wait to see what you guys are bringing. I really can’t get enough of this game.
03/02/2011 at 20:37 LionsPhil says:
Could…could you not have collated this into one big post with twenty zillion comments (most of which are just parroting The Recut)?
Come on RPS, you’re one of the last bastions of games reporting that isn’t just a hype echo chamber.
