Tempted.
But I'm pretty sure there is going to be a PC/Xbox/PS3 patch or DLC bundle down of the way.

If the changes results in a more satisfying ending regarding
I'll let myself be charged $50 right now! Those that have played the game know why.
Outside of that I might still wait for the lower price or sale on the game. Especially if there is a chance that these changes will come to the other versions with their already lower prices. If there was a way to guarantee that they wouldn't and this was truly 100% exclusive to the Wii U version I very could be there day one, even if it was against my better judgement.

This might be an over-priced late port, but can we maybe, possibly be encouraged that games like Arkham City, Mass Effect 3, Assassins Creed 3 and Deus Ex are appearing on a Nintendo console?
I know, I know. But hopefully, hopefully even if this gen acts as a transition to welcome back third parties the future could be bright. Sales for these ports might be low, but if Nintendo are having conversations with these developers and people are slowly realising big name titles could maybe appear on a Nintendo console there could be a shift in perception.
Or... this could bomb horribly, third parties claim only Mario sells, rinse and repeat forever more.

It'll be my first question to them!

Is there any chance that Directors Cut's gameplay changes (no touch screen and Wii U GamePad functions) will be available for PC and other consoles as well? Cuz if they are not,....
You're sure? PC I could see happening in theory but it's hard to see it being financially sensible to release a (trivial) patch/DLC to this old game on consoles. Not to mention that it costs money.

We'll see how the changes affect the boss fights, but honestly, I feel the best they can hope for is to create a virtual sugar lump to make the bitter medicine go down easier. I'm willing to be proven wrong, but I don't think there's anything they can do to make the fighting the bosses legitimately enjoyable.
Great! Of course (just to clarify) me too I'd welcome the offtv feature! I was just saying that for games that uses the gamepad "so deeply" (to be verified, of course) I don't complaint too much

If there's one game that can potentially run at 1080, it's this one. It's not terribly demanding, which is probably the main reason they chose to port it over something more recent/desirable like Tomb Raider.
Anyway, looking forward to giving this a rent.

For a PS360 multiplat port on the WiiU? Hardly. Maybe I'm just too cynical about the effort third parties spend on their WiiU SKUs but the thought honestly never entered my mind. >_>
I'd rather have IR support than off-TV play.I know it hurts you to know that PC won't have the best version. Especially if Wii U has it. But you gotta accept the facts if this Director's Cut is not sold to the other platforms. Everything seems to be an improvement.
Still is too fucking expensive though if the Amazon price was right.

Overpriced special edition also costs money...
I don't understand some people's displeasure at the lack of off TV play for WiiU games. I would much rather developers take advantage of the console's key feature and ensure it's utilized in a manner that enhances the experience. If off TV play is supported, developers can't really do anything too radical with it since it can no longer be used as a key gameplay component.
Regarding this port in particular, I'd consider it if it was reasonably priced, but the chances of that happening are slim to none. If I really feel the need to play it I'll probably get it on Steam instead.

why would that happen?
megan works for bob page now, one of the major characters in deus ex, which means megan will be a vital part of the sequel.

It's almost like you think rationally about your finances! I have bought 2 Augmented Editions for 18USD in the last year for friends. That's less than half the price of this old port.

That's what happens if you listen to Jeff Gerstmann too much!
Patching costs money on PS3 and 360. That's why it's so rare.
It doesn't hurt me to know that it's still not as good as the PC version. To suggest a game still stuck on modern hardware will be better than a game you can play in 3D, 1080p or higher and 60fps is, like I said, being silly.
I didn't have any problems with the main game bosses in the original (not saying they were great, but certainly not horrific ordeals, even with a hacking/stealth build). Hoping that the changes to them yield something more interesting than "you can one-shot them all now"...yes, I know a glitch already allows for this with one of them.

It'll be interesting to see if the "director's cut" changes come to the other versions, and if they're without charge. If it's very cheap DLC, I'd consider splashing out when I replay DXHR in the future.
I would think AI changes, etc could. Though it depends if they are tweaked or completely redone. Integrating the extra missions might be harder as you have to buy those and not everyone has them. The Tong mission was a a preorder bonus and not sure if that is even for sale. They'd have to make a patch that looks to see if you have the extra missions and somehow add it into the base game. On the PC I think Missing Link is actually treated as a separate game you don't even access from within Deus Ex: Human Revolution itself. It launches separately.
The cost to patch something like this on the other consoles might also be a problem as suggested above. It also likely won't be smooth sailing either after the first patch so it might take a few to get it right. PC on the other hand this might not be a problem.
I think they announced it today because of the Amazon leak. That was really a bad thing, because we did not know of all those improvements.
Personally I don't care much for Off TV-Play and I do agree I'd much rather use the Game Pad's functions, but considering the game is mostly a port and the original control scheme is readily available, there's not much of a reason to not implement that as an option.

So you don't consider gameplay improvements like better boss fights as great as 3D huh?
I see.

If it's priced reasonably I may double dip, just because I like this game that much =S, still....it's just a strange decision on Square-Enix's part =/
So yeah, you only care about 3D(lol), resolution and framerates and ignore everything else. Is that really all you care about to judge what version is the best? Not the actual gameplay improvements?

So Wii owners get the HUD advantages of the PC version and then some, they un-botched the boss fights for people who didn't do commando builds, improved the graphics, improved the AI, and added 8 hours of dev diaries.
Oh yeah, fuck you Square, you heartless bastards, how dare you shit on Wii U owners with this soulless cash-in.

A feature that's genuinely unique, it wouldn't work with Vita cross-play.

They were no fun to fight and murdered me over and over. Maybe that wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't Unreal Engine 3 but those loads (360) sucked hard.

Both pre-order DLC packs (Tong mission included) have been for sale for a while now, for consoles anyway.

So, in conclusion, the only thing that matters now is 1080p. Hey, look, I think I'm going to recommend you what surely will be your 2013 GOTY.

4K, all that matters.
Pedantry, but possibly significant: It only says you don't have to *shoot* the bosses. It still says you're 'killing' them, but it may simply be using the term to mean 'defeat'.
Well, I think quite a lot of people asked for better bosses, so there's that.
Yeah. Off-TV play is a nice, easy-to-add feature, ideal for developers who don't have the time, budget or impetus to take advantage of the dual-screen setup. In its own right, it's fine. But if a developer *does* want to do right by the extra screens, that should be applauded.

At the end of the day, no matter the tweaks and some added content, it's still a two years old port at $50.
I don't think anyone has criticised Eidos quite as hard as you insinuate (quite the opposite, actually), but I've seen a lot of puzzlement expressed about its viability. And rightfully so, I think this will sell terribly.

Lots of reassurance going on here.
What gameplay and AI improvements were listed? All I saw was a generic response that most people will probably not even notice. Are they going to fix the completely broken skill system? If not then nothing else matters.
Really they try to make it look like they're doing all of this work on it and they don't bother fixing the level design in the game, the single biggest flaw stopping this from being a great deus ex game.
edit: Holy shit they're making the game even easier?? :lol
