In November 2009 it was announced that Square Enix was to publish the game, and that the CGI sequences were to be created at its Japanese Visual Works studio with direction from Goldtooth Creative in Canada. Several of the design decisions mentioned, most notably the switch from health packs to regenerating health, precipitated an initial backlash amongst many fans of the original Deus Ex.
DEUS EX HUMAN REVOLUTION WIKIA PC
Net.Īn initial teaser trailer was released on November 26, 2007, and around one year later PC Zone Magazine ran a first preview which detailed some of the game's mechanics and setting and provided the first true artwork and screenshots. In contrast, characters who oppose augmentation wear clothing that is more or less current-day.Īs was the case in Deus Ex conspiracy theories and immensely powerful corporations feature strongly, but nothing is currently known about them.ĭeus Ex 3 was announced on in an interview with Patrick Melchior, the director of Eidos France, on the French-Canadian television show M. Characters who support the advances of human augmentation dress themselves and decorate their homes in reinterpreted late-medieval Italian style, and the game as a whole has a sepia-tinted colour palette reminiscent of historic manuscripts. The pace of technological development is reflected visually by a Renaissance theme. "Mankind is using mechanical augmentations," director Jean-Francois Dugas said before the game's release, "but there is still much to be determined in terms of their effect on society and the ultimate direction it will lead us in." The Greek myth of Daedalus and Icarus appears in Adam Jensen's dreams as an allegory to this thought, and also-given that both Daedalus and Icarus were the names of artificial intelligences in Deus Ex-an intellectual bridge to the original game. Human Revolution deals with the ethics of transhumanism, and carries an overarching message of humanity's reach exceeding its grasp. The events in the game will lead to the formation of UNATCO from the original game. In addition, the protagonist will have his own apartment where he may store his secrets and collected information. The player will visit five metropoles during the course of the game, including Detroit, Shanghai and Montreal. Adam Jensen will be voiced by Elias Toufexis. After he witnesses a chilling attack on his company which leaves him horribly injured and forced to undergo augumentation to survive, "the conspiracy begins." The visuals are a combination of cyberpunk and Renaissance aesthetics, resulting in a futuristic-looking Baroque world. The main character, Adam Jensen, is a private security officer with a company that specializes in these augmentations. Nanotechnological augmentations have yet to be developed and biomechanical augmentations are the current state of the art. The game takes place during the year 2027, 25 years before Deus Ex. Human Revolution is primarily a first person game, but will feature a contextual third person viewpoint when using the cover system, certain augmentations, or closeup instant-kill moves. They believe their regenerating health model will still encourage tactical and strategy forming retreats, but not to the extent where the tension and flow of the game is disrupted. This change was made because the developers didn't want players to get into a situation where they were unable to progress due to low health, and would be forced to "scrounge for med packs." They see this scrounging behavior as breaking the flow of the game when one retreats to search the entire level for medical supplies. In a controversial departure from previous titles in the series, Human Revolution will use a regenerating health model. They can also be upgraded to better suit the player. Unlike in Invisible War, weapons will fire distinct ammunition types instead of depleting a unified pool. Enemies will also react to subtle player decisions, such as a change in behaviour or weapons, etc. If the leader is killed, the squad falls into disarray. These will be divided into four types: Combat, Stealth, Technology and Social.Įvery enemy squad will have an identifiable squad leader who will direct the team's actions. While augmentations in the first two games were nanotech, Human Revolution is set prior to both and instead features mechanical augmentations. In the Deus Ex games, augmentations are body modifications that allow the user superhuman abilities.
