DXHR has dumb names for bog-standard gameplay stuff throughout it. No fall damage = Icarus Landing System, for example.
...I did think the Neural Hub would be a bit more than that, though. I was expecting some form of detective mode with more text and scanning and shit.

720p, what else?
Or do you mean that it could be sub-HD? While that's possible, that's not something they'd announce in a press release.

TBQH I'd be surprised if it remains Wii U exclusive at all.
Any hint on release date?
Oh, interesting!
I've only played the first 30 mins of the PS3 version, but it is a game I'd like to try properly some day. If this rebalances the allegedly shitty boss fights sufficiently it might be worth looking into.
The lack of off-screen TV seems like a huge oversight for a lengthy game like this.

Hmm, might actually get this.
When it hits about $20

One of the top three games of the generation, I'm glad more people will get a chance to experience this one. I've already beaten the game three times on PS3 so I don't think I'll bite, myself.

Wow, the reworked bosses and other improvements do sound tempting. Not full-price though. I just started a second playthrough but I guess I'll be waiting for this to hit Steam.

And when these patches are announced for PS3/360 + PC before the Wii U version have been released its going to add hurt to the sales, as small as it already going to be.

If I had a WiiU I'd grab this, the improvements sound nice.

Do we know if these changes are coming from Straight Right? Calling it the "Director's Cut" would be very strange if that was the case...
Yes. And sunglasses. Even at night.

I played through the original game with the Tong mission, and it was already pretty seamless. Never felt like obvious additional content.

There's also 1080 p?

18 months after the original release and $50 is not workable, sorry.
19 months after the original release and $20 might be tempting, though.

The Missing Link on the other hand... I foresee many people complaining about that though, for obvious reasons.
Yeah, that's fine. The Missing Link section could be pretty jarring though without some reworking.

Wow the Eurogamer article really highlights a lot of changes. The OP should have all the changes in bulletform, really doesnt sound like a straight port. Graphical enhancements, gameplay enhancements (both Wii U specific and not), new augmentation and new bossfights. Sounds pretty damn substantial.
Moreso than just adding an armored costume and calling it a day.

No IR, no buy!
Nicely put.
Eurogamer's interview was with the lead from Eidos Montreal. They seem to be calling the design shots.

The change decisions come from EM as it's the game's director that talks about them; http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...nfirmed-and-yes-theyve-fixed-the-boss-battles
EM calls it a co-production so maybe they made the changes for the already existing builds of the game and then Straight Right ported the game to WiiU.
So maybe one day they'll release updated PC/360/PS3 versions as well.
Still PC there as always. And you can get it for $5.
The map in HR ruins exploration if you use it because of how detailed it is. Deus Ex games are best when you explore them on your own.
Even Nintendo Land isn't 1080p. Why would this be?

"Dumb names", he says. Of course the upgrades have atypical names, they were supposed to represent cybernetic augmentations, implants and upgrades. Icarus System is one of the coolest things in the game.
..why am I even replying to this haha
Same. Should have just bolded the Missing Link part. I am curious as to who that is going to screw with the flow of the game.

But that's the shitty boss version.
Hm, don't have a Wii U at this point, but I am very curious to see all of these changes for myself, particularly the gameplay alterations. Since the Tong mission and The Missing Link are there by default, I wonder if the pre-order weapons (namely the Longsword Whisper, the double barrel shotgun sucked) and the auto-hack tools are there as well.
Also...

Potentially higher resolution and/or higher framerate over a reworked game based on fan-feedback. Yeah, sure, PC is always better.

It seems no one cares about it but I find this very cool;
8 hours?!
8 hours?!
At least the new content seems alright... and Miiverse integration is always welcome. But it's anyone's guess if the GamePad features will be any good (probably not).
edit: missed the part about overhauled boss fights -- that certainly perked my ears up. If it were cheaper (like, $20-30) I'd probably be in for this. Will buy post bomba.

Well, there's always the possibility of someone pushing the system harder than Nintendo's efforts.
You can kill them all in a few minutes and there was a trick to knock the last one out if I remember right. It was a non factor to me really. Certainly not worth spending $50 on a new console version.

Sorry, I'm using the word "dumb" in a non-pejorative sense way too often nowadays. I love the names, it's cool. In-universe justification/contextualisation of gameplay mechanics is always the best thing.

People are already port begging? ^^
nothing comparable to this, honestly. it had map (very useful) and tap-positioning. not all the hacking-scanning-coding-snaping stuffs they are putting here

they should have two completely different interfaces to add offtv.
of course, they could add it.
It's incredible how the Wii U received very sporadic (and in this case: dumb) support but for almost every (few, I repeat) game it receives there are people looking for "multiplatform" release ;p
