Yesterday I got jolly (justifiably) cross about some Facebook-based nonsense "advertising" Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Today I would like to celebrate some really rather excellent nonsense advertising Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The very splendid fake ad below is a gag-free, wonderfully made commercial for Sarif Industries - they behind the beginnings of human augmentation.
To go with the trailer below, there's also a collection of new screenshots to stare at and attempt to decipher. Like they're a message from the Illuminati. Click on each, including the one above, for maximum fullsizement.
Much of this footage has been seen before, but I'm going to post it anyway, as I enjoyed the ludicrous bombast of this clip-mash from the ongoing Tokyo Game Show. Japanese dialogue rather than a clutch of Michael Ironsidealikes seems to add to the gravitas, and the Inception-esque music is so achingly dramatic that I eventually broke down in laughter. Not in a negative way,…
Staying calm the face of a new Deus Ex game is tricky. Quintin came back from GamesCom making excited chirping noises, but there's so much at stake. We must remain steady until we're certain. We'll play it and then, only then, we'll decide whether to get to explode in a ticker-tape parade of giddiness. Of course, this steely focus didn't stop me getting in touch…

The rumours are true! Yesterday, clad in black jacket and sunglasses, I rode a train to the Square Enix offices in cyber-Wimbledon to get the latest on Deus Ex 3, no matter the cost. Gaining entrance was challenging- I tried hacking a keypad and going in through the back, with no luck. I'd just started climbing a drainpipe to the roof when a PR came…
We've an entire internet's worth images from Deus Ex: Human Revolution for you - a heady mix of screens and concept art, which we've posted below. All the images in this article are clickable for larger versions. Go browse, it's got some serious cyberpunk prettiness going on. Also, some brown. Finally, check back later today for our intricate and edifying preview of the game, written…
Evidently. However, it seems that some embargo has been passed, as Eurogamer has just gone live with three (count 'em) articles about Deus Ex. The first is a general preview sort of thing, the second is an exhaustive series of questions about fan pleasing elements which will or won't be in the game and the third is a hefty interview with lead designer Jean-François Dugas.…
These leaked last night. Frankly, we're not entirely 100% convinced. Some look like some manner of concept art or render. Some look like either extremely, extremely posed or photo-shop jobs. But at least a couple look pretty feasible. Since these would be the first assets released of the game to illustrate the initial previews, this kind of heightened-reality shot/imagery is pretty much par for the…
And, as promised earlier in the week, the Deus Ex: Human Revolution trailer is on the electric internet. It's over 3 minutes of world-building, cybernetics, riots, conspiracies, robots and gratuitous wearing of shades. It's the sort of thing which I may have to go frame-by-frame another time. Until then, watch it below...
PCG have just put up four screens from the new Deus Ex 3 trailer which will debut on the 4th. As in, Friday. They're also bragging about 21,500 (Count 'em!) words of preview, which hopefully are all different, and not just Tom Francis cutting and pasting the same paragraph again and again and again. As is his wont. Anyway, go look here or skip below…
Looks like somebody left the keys in the ignition! And just as well, because even while none of the RPS crew are around you guys still need to know about the new Deus Ex 3: Human Revolution trailer that's being shown at GDC. The 2 minute cinematic can be found after the jump, but be warned: There's still no footage of the game proper just…
Thanks to a strange person who loves to go through patent filings, the world now knows that Square-Enix (newish overlords of what once was Eidos) have very recently trademarked a new Deus Ex title. You'll find it beneath the cut... Oh, I'm not that cruel. It's Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
Once we get past early summer things get a little hazy. We enter a nether-realm of shifting dates and unclear prophecies. By then we'll also have a whole bunch of games I haven't previously mentioned show up in the intervening months, stuff that we didn't have release dates for to place them in our line-up. This final post in our preview attempts to survey them…
Update: This all seems to be a matter of crossed wires. So far DX3 has only been announced for PC, but there's no confirmation of exclusivity. Rumours are circulating that Eidos's Deus Ex 3 is to be a PC exclusive. This originates from a story on Bit-Tech today in which they (no longer - Ed) comment, "It has been confirmed that the game is a…
[18:41] bremxjones3: "Square Enix's Tokyo developers are to work on the cinematics for Eidos Montreal's upcoming Deus Ex sequel, the studio's general manager Stephane D'Astous told us." [18:41] Ento: aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [18:41] swiss-: noooOOoo [18:41] bremxjones3: Also, Thief [18:42] swiss-: all, is lost
The first panel which was something of a disappointment. There's a tendency for industry panels to turn into a reinstatement of the accepted wisdom (Or, at least, the accepted forward-looking wisdom). Even as someone not actually in development, there was little about the writing process which was new to me. That said, one of the panelists - James Swallow - is a writer on Deus…
Larrington mailed us to mention there's some new possibly-real-possibly-not environment shots for Deus Ex 3 online over at the Eidos Forums. There's not much more to say other than that. Er... the second one looks a lot like the concept art? There's some new possibly-real-posibly-not environment shots for Deus 3 online over at the Eidos Forums. Er... yes.

Well, everyone else is doing it, we probably should too. The forthcoming issue of videogame bible Edge has a large feature on Eidos Montreal's development of Deus Ex 3. To tease it, Edge Online runs a short story with the headline "Deus Ex was “Kinda Slow” Says Deus Ex 3 Dev" before offering a quote from Lead Designer Jean-Francois Dugas: "There weren’t enough exciting, memorable…
God bless Future Publishing's bizarre self-cannibalisation. PC Zone might be currently carrying the world exclusive first Deus Ex 3 preview, but CVG has kindly summarised the most important bits for everyone to see. Hooway! As widely speculated, it's a prequel, which may mean the arguably over-exposed Denton lineage is left well alone. Or alternatively that its backstory is further filled in, as the protagonist's forename…

There's been some complaints that games writing is lacking hard-hitting investigative journalism. With the news that PC Zone's forthcoming 200th issue will be the first public unveiling of Deus Ex 3, I saw the opportunity to change all that. I know where PC Zone's London office is. I'm a skilled veteran of many immersive sims. And I have a trenchcoat and can easily buy a…
