Fixed boss battles for PC would rank this game a lot higher for me.
so is this saying you can record and post audio to miiverse? or is it just some mistranslation? If so is that newsworthy or somethign we already knew was coming and I missed it?
I think this needs to be said before some get confused or start getting turned off for the wrong reasons. Deus Ex is an RPG that happens to have shooting in it. It isn't a shooter. That's why there were so many complaints in regard to the boss fights and how they didn't fit with how the rest of the game designed. Think more, not the best comparisons, Elders Scroll or Fallout and massively less Call of Duty.
I enjoy the pointer control as much as the next person but they aren't needed for this game. In fact it might make things worse causing you to play it in a way it shouldn't be.. This isn't a shooter ala Call of Duty. Playing the game like that is likely to get your killed very quickly and some cases instantly do to the number of people shooting at you. There is a lot of cover based shooting. Or avoidance of combat. Sometimes melee is the best option or stealth. There are mods that increase the accuracy of your weapons so where you point isn't where you bullets will go in the end. Certain weapons have ranges as well.
Yes, you can write or record your map annotations and post to Miiverse.
Edit: full quote in French >
why would they sell the same game (but better) for just £15? Do you mean £15 because you've already bought it? It's not meant for people who have already bought the game on another machine. I wouldn't bother buying it again just for a few improvements, but it's great that games like this are coming out for and making use of the Wii U gadgets.

The salty anti wii u are at it again.
More games the better for me. I am sure I am not the only Wii U owner that has not
played this game yet.
Like I said before, the enhancements look really cool, will see if they hold up.
Now Wii U is not for everyone, you should get it if:
1. Love Nintendo Games
2. Like the gamepad idea
If we get titles like this, with the features promised, I only see them as extras in my book.
If you don't like the Wii U then good for you there are and will be other options out there.
Not everyone thinks like you, if ports are decent looking and the gamepad adds something to the game, some of us will pick the Wii U version. It is not always about graphics. For me it will depend on the port, if it looks decent enough and the features it brings.
By the way I own a PS3 and will own a PC.

cool, wasnt aware they were gonna add audio recording support/posts for miiverse. I wonder if that will become a standard feature for every community. Or if it will only be avaliable inside the game, with integrated miiverse posts.

The german website 4players also confirms Off TV Play. The author of the article explains in the comment section that the developers showed them how they played it off screen on the WiiU pad.
Removed boss battles would be superior, but yeah.
Can it really be considered port begging if no one owns the console it's coming out on?

This is sounding better and better. Ugh. Too many games to play though.
How can developers make enhanced PS3/360 games (in terms of graphics) on a system with "technical stats on par with the 360 and PS3"?, that's quite a conundrum you've posted there.
There is drama in every Wii U game thread. People that don't own a Wii U feel an urge to shit on every Wii U game for some reason. Once there is some proof (reviews, videos) that actually the game could be good they usually stop.

All of the OP sounds much better than what I was anticipating for this game.
I've never done this before, but this will be the first time I buy the same game twice.

Sorry champ, but you were responding to this post
Which is clearly talking about the visuals. The guy you just quoted, however, didn't say the WiiU will have the best visuals, he just said 'definitive version' which could be interpreted in any number of ways. He didn't mention visuals.
Maybe there's someone else who said "WiiU version will look better than PC" but I'm struggling to find that post...
Sounds nice
Nice!

Fuck I would kill for new game + on the PC version, I was praying for it throughout the last third of my first playthrough.
Having said that, I'm now on my second run and having a total blast. The game is truly awesome, it's so rich. I played my first run very cautiously, not wanting to make mistakes or miss anything cool, while at the same time trying to 'act' in the game in a realistic manner (ie being affected by the tension of the scenarios, not mooching around too much when there was any sniff of tracking down Megan's killers). I really enjoyed it, but at the same time there was something agonising about it. And I suppose that's the case with any high-stakes story.
My second run has been so much freer. I don't give a fuck, I know the rules of the world and am just enjoying playing it, as a game. Instead of preserving life as much as possible, I'm capping fools and generally acting like a dick. I'm finding the slow grind of augmentations less worrisome now I know what I want and need. And I'm exploring a ton more. My first run through the
was a panic-soaked exercise in total stealth. This time I've blown shit the fuck up, marching around whole areas I never saw before with grim impunity.
So in fact, despite what I said, the lack of new game + hasn't had that big an impact. I was playing last night and thinking WiiU owners should be very happy to have the game.

Fuck me dead. It's a solid late port, definitive or not. Let's all hold hands and sing together.
Thanks for this post! I like the sound of this; I was thinking more Metroid Prime and less Call of Duty when I was wishing for pointer controls but posts here are making me think their absence isn't a huge deal. Hopefully the technical side of the port is solid.

I always meant to play this, but for my sins the idea got lost in the backlog. Portal 2, LA Noire, Arkham City, Dead Island and others were out that year I think...
Sounds like I missed a really good game, and from what people have said about the boss fights - adjustments there could well be a very good thing, and the extras like audio commentary etc sound badass.
Oh yeah no, it's nothing like Metroid Prime. It's a stealth-action game with a bit more options for open combat if that's the way you wanna go.

Can someone edit in a list of the specific changes in the OP from the Eurogamer article including this information?
Wow, so it's no longer a separate DLC but
Oh this had better be good. I don't mind the double dip for a "fixed edition". I already own the game OnLive.
I've played it, and I'm going to get it again. It's nice they've not only bundled everything up but made it so that the DLC was all part of the main game.

I want to see what they've done with the boss fights.. but this is sounding like a definite double dip for me.

Yeah. Off-TV play means I will definitely double dip. That, and the audio annotations sound awesome, and I'm really interested in seeing their implementation. I wonder if video annotations would be a possibility down the line somewhere.

You are aware that the Wii U's controller has a gigantic touch screen embedded in it right...
Does this mean we'd get a total augmentation reset halfway through the game?

What does this mean? Possible multiplayer with a level editor?
Considering its getting an overhaul (as in gameplay wise, the boss fights and redoing the DLC so that they're part of the actual campaign are indeed a huge deal), plus doing smart things that should finally be done with the GamePad (logs should always be displayed on the bottom screen, without having to pause the action), I am seriously considering on double dipping. Also, if a game was that good, I'd say it's far from trash.
This is what I'm curious to see. they would actually have to redo the entire DLC parts to take into account balancing.
You can probably make notes on the map, maybe share on Miiverse
It's a little more than halfway. If I remember right when you head for the area that missing link takes place you're basically at the point of no return, at least for the 2 hub areas in the game. So while I would approve a skill reset for the hubs since it would help reinforce wise choices (you shouldn't be able to get everything in the game because you have all the skills, poor design), a point reset at that point in the game would only be for a couple of story areas.
Although I guess it would make those more challenging.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Wow. I've gone from a "meh" to a "will buy".
I have nothing against late ports, done well.

Oh, I meant more that pointer controls would be nice to look around the environment with instead of being used to getting loads of headshots or what have youbut I didn't make that clear. That sounds interesting though!

This. And not only have I not played it, but neither has my friend, so it is not ruined for me.
