Haha - Jensen's non-final voice is hilariously out of place. They seriously couldn't of fixed that? Otherwise, this really looks like the complete package. So glad I've got something excellent to play on Wii U straight after Wind Waker.
One of the best soundtracks ever. Really great stuff. I don't know if McCann won any awards for it but he should.

Holy shit...I started a new game in case I need to trade in my copy for the DC edition,
I spend some time looting from Sarif HQ, must've spent maybe 10 or so minutes. I go to do the mission and once I go to save the 8 hostages I find they were KILLED!
If I waste time before going with Malik to do the first mission they get killed off, blew my frickin' mind. Gonna restart my game since I need every EXP I need.

There is no upgrade. You buy the DC on a disc or on PSN.

Thanks, well I got a game or two I can trade in for HR DC to cut down on its price so I'm golden.
Done, my bad.
The Wii U gamepad stuff looks kinda of neat sometimes but also needless other times. It seems kind of clumsy to have to always look down at the gamepad. I don't really see how pausing the game to look at ebooks on the gamepad is any different from just bringing it up on the main screen.
It's different/better because it's just there without the need to bring up a menu on screen and pause the game itself. You have it right there. Taking a quick glance is way faster than bringing up a menu overlay. It's also often easier to navigate via touch (generally speaking). Additionally, it doesn't clutter up your game screen with all the HUD/UI stuff which is always good.
Then buy it on Wii U or PC.
Thanks for the clarification. Here's hoping they fixed the stuttering issue that was present everywhere that almost ruined my playthrough if not for ENB.

The original PC version has already been patched to significantly reduce if not eliminate the stuttering.

They released a patch at one point that fixed it, but then released another later down the line that brought it back for a lot of users.
The instructions in this video fixes the stuttering for most of the rest:

The filter is still in the game. I think they just added the engine upgrades from The Missing Link. Probably won't look all that different.
Meh what I figured, didn't seem to be too much focus on a graphical boost. Still going to be worth getting though, that was only icing on the cake.
Thanks

WiiU VS 360 (2011 version) comparison. Seems like quite an upgrade in lighting and AA at least :O

Wow...in contrast to my previous comment, it looks like the new version is significantly less yellow. Seems they toned down the filter quite a bit. This I like.
Oh so that's what the old lighting looked like! Nice to know it really does look a lot better.

Oh man I hope the visual improvements are included in the PC version as well. That mod that fixed the piss filter on PC was pretty resource hungry and I doubt it will work with the DC version anyway.
I think the piss filter isn't gone, since it's kind of included in this recent 1 hour playthrough of Deus Ex WiiU: http://youtu.be/OsXRpIGw3g0. All in all, I still wonder if these graphics (AA, better lighting, fog etc..) will be ported to ps360, or if they get the old version. Can they handle these graphics?
Why wouldn't it? Part of the DC package is that the lighting model and other visual enhancements they made in the Missing Link DLC would be applied to the whole game since the DLC is integrated seamlessly into the story this time. There's no reason to assume it wouldn't be in the PC version.
It's presumably stuff Eidos did in The Missing Link anyway so if those enhancements were present in the console versions of that DLC then why wouldn't they be in there?
Simple. AA and better lighting weren't present in the Missing Link DLC on ps360. So it's quite plausible that these 2 aren't going to be used now. Fog and rain were present in these versions. If u look at the original press release (can't find it) they mention the added graphical techniques for WiiU.

I don't think there's any obvious, significant improvements to the visuals with the exception of a muted filter (which is significant for artistic reasons). All versions should have the same tweaks, sampling rates of various effects varying. With The Missing Link, Montreal made some adjustments to the engine and the way it handled certain things, like shadows. The main visual improvements to the Director's Cut involve bringing these engine changes over to the main game. As good as The Missing Link looked, it wasn't like some total, amazing overhaul of the engine. For most part Human Revolution will probably look like Human Revolution, with some small graphical amendments.
Apparently the game is rebuilt with the new engine tweaks, which makes sense. So, for example, on PC you don't download some "upgrade" to the version you already have installed. You have to download an entirely new build of the game, I think. This would mean all console builds are also a "new build". The Director's Cut is the newest engine build of the game, including those graphical tweaks and whatever additional content has been compiled in. Thus, with the exception of little things here and there (sampling rates of effects, IQ, framerate, etc), all console builds should be pretty damn similar.

So, all the versions could have AA and better lighting (which weren't present in the ps360 DLC versions)? They specifically stated these 2 tweaks were because of the WiiU power blabla. The Missing Link effects and added tweaks stand beside that imo.

I didn't realise The Missing Link was missing (lololol) effects on the 360/PS3. So maybe the new build will too be missing things on 360/PS3.
I dunno. Comparisons will be interesting, because from the impression I get it basically goes:
- Human Revolution made.
- Missing Link made, few engine improvements.
- Straight Right starts making Director's Cut. Includes Missing Link engine improvements ported over to the main game, among other things.
- Other developer starts porting Director's Cut over to other platforms.
No idea what build the 360/PS3 version is actually based off, a pre-straight right compilation or an offshoot of Straight Right's Wii U build.
This is a comparison between the old ps360 build and then new WiiU build. You can see the lighting is much improved and it has indeed better AA. The Missing Link adds fog and weather effects and softer shadows. These will come to the new ps360 build, but AA and lighting I can't imagine personally. The piss filter is kind of gone but its due to video capturing since it's present in all other vids. Straight Right is doing a really good job with this I think for WiiU and it also shows (imo!) it's a bit more capable

I'm really curious what Straight Right has lined up next. Another Wii U port? An original title (Funky Barn 2: Now with Actual Funk Music! [<-- day one if true, btw!])? As there's been no talk of technical hiccups with the WiiU DC and ME3 being a really really good launch port, I'd hope they bring over another game Wii U missed out on (or maybe port something that's a year old?)
They had another project in the works right? Somewhere they stated they had an unannounced game in the works, an original game. Can't find it
EDIT: "We've got two other titles in development. One of them is original, our own IP, and another is based on another big franchise that will come out in 2013. It's a big title and you will have heard of it."

Not too sure what Square Eidos is doing in the States tbh, it's pretty weird. Here in the UK the Wii U SKU is £21.95 and the PS3 and 360 SKUs are £19.95. It's more expensive than the other versions but only by a couple of quid. Very odd. Those are shopto prices btw.

Oh god, I'd completely forgotten how hilariously bad the animations are during dialogue. Why can't you just stand still?!

COT DAMN, that Staff commentary is fucking awesome. Definitely thinking about double-dipping now, or at least waiting for a sale.
Do we still not know how the Vita is intergrated?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I thought they said they're reworking the boss fights so you can take them out without fighting, ala the original
but I just saw a video of the first boss's demo done by the staff, and they just hacked a turret and used it to kill the boss and were like "WELL THERE YOU GO GUYS, FAN FEEDBACK!"
:S

the second screen is really great in-game. of course in "metagame" momets it pauses the game, but generally speaking the use of the Gamepad is really well done, here.
Not the best comparison considering how much darker and yellowish the 360 version looks compared to PC and PS3.This is a comparison between the old ps360 build and then new WiiU build. You can see the lighting is much improved and it has indeed better AA. The Missing Link adds fog and weather effects and softer shadows.

The WiiU version in this vid has muted colors. But it's due to video capturing with WiiU's low range RGB output. In other (better) vids they are the same color wise.

Oh boy, this still hasn't made the rounds ? It's been confirmed like a year ago that the other game was Funky Barn. They have not other game in the works (that we know of).
They did exactly what they said they'd do. You can now solve the boss encounters without firing a single shot. This doesn't mean they're non lethal, it just means that ALL your gameplay specializations are now viable instead of just pure combat. The bosses still have to die for story reasons.
It's still Funky Barn.
Whenever they talk about the games, they don't differentiate between Tantalus and Straight Right. They're even in the same building, I think (I asked them last year but forgot the specific answer).
Thanks for link
. What is interesting though: Where is Funky Barn? It was supposed to ship during launch window and we are a year ahead of that.Thanks for link
Funky Barn is right here: https://miiverse.nintendo.net/titles/14866558072986296719/14866558072986296720
Released on launch day everywhere.
Thanks again. I own a WiiU since launch, but I have totally missed this game. Based on posts in the community it isn't quite popular or well known.
The Funky Barn community was THE place to be during launch. EVERYONE made fun of the game (and its lack of actual funk music).
