Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut ANNOUNCED
Posted by Adam Badke
I think a lot of people would agree that one of the coolest movies to come out in the last 20 years or so was Ridley Scotts Blade Runner. And, being such a fan of Deus Ex, its hard for me to not draw comparisons between the heavily cyberpunk influenced, dystopian futures paralleled between the iconic imagination of Los Angeles in 2019 and the gritty, augmented year of 2027 in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
As someone whose first and most treasured Blu-ray purchase was the Directors Cut of Blade Runner, imagine my excitement to be able to officially announce that Eidos-Montréal, in collaboration with Australias very own Straight Right, are announcing today that the ultimate Directors Cut Deus Ex experience will be coming to the Wii U!
This is Deus Ex like youve never seen it before. The game has been fully updated and improved, and brings an impressive suite of new features and upgrade into play.
I
never totally asked for this!
New Boss Fights!
We received a lot of feedback from fans regarding the boss fights after the launch of Deus Ex: Human Revolution in 2011. So with your feedback in mind, we completely redesigned them including new map layouts and new gameplay mechanics that support all the game's main pillars (hacking, stealth and combat). The boss AI, damage & health have also been tweaked for the best boss fights possible, and if youre clever, its now possible to defeat bosses without the need to fire a single bullet!
Brand New Features!
You asked for it, youve got it and this one is HUGE. T
he Directors Cut features a brand new New Game + mode, allowing you to replay the game from the beginning keeping Jensen's augmentations from your last play-through the ULTIMATE power fantasy.
Additionally, Jensen has a swath of new tricks up his sleeve,
including the ability to toss grenades back at his enemies (right from the Wii U GamePad!), a rebalanced energy system, and a brand new augmentation the Tactical Pattern-Recognition System which displays Jensen's view through the Wii U GamePad. Moving the GamePad around will move Jensen's view in the same way, giving extra precious information on his surroundings.
As you would expect from a Directors Cut,
this ultimate Deus Ex experience also features approximately 8 hours of director's commentaries and a 45 minute Making Of video. The official strategy guide is also included in-game and can be accessed through the Wii U Gamepad Neural Hub at any time. Never miss a praxis kit again!
The Wii U GamePad also brings some impressive new features, including
the ability to record your very own Infologs containing screenshots, voice recordings, drawing or typed notes as you progress through the game. You can even share your personal infologs through the Miiverse with your friends. And, most impressively, you can play Deus Ex: Human Revolution Directors Cut entirely on the GamePad no TV required! Never be interrupted again!
Additionally, the GamePad allows deeper interaction with the game like never before. Hacking is now done at your fingertips while the world remains visible on your primary screen, looting is made simpler without the need for extra menus, sniping with any scoped weapon uses the GamePad and primary screen for ultimate precision. An updated radar and 2D map are now hosted right on the touch screen as well, as is the inventory, leaving your primary screen free of clutter.
The ultimate Deus Ex: Human Revolution fan experience!
The Directors Cut also includes the full suite of all Deus Ex content ever released, including Tongs Rescue mission and the entire Missing Link DLC chapter seamlessly integrated into the narrative and flow of the story. The original pre-order and other bonus weapons are now at Jensens disposal as well! All of the original game achievements, The Missing Link achievements and some brand new Directors Cut achievements are also available!
Other popular fan requests!
Southpaw players will be happy to hear left handed control mapping is included, with a total of 4 control layout variations included. Also, for the multi-lingual amongst us, English, French, Italian, German and Spanish are available in both voice and subtitles right off the disk. You can even choose to play the game with audio in one language but the subtitles in another. Cest bon?
Total technical overhaul!
Just like all good movie directors cuts feature remixed and remastered footage,
Deus Ex: Human Revolution Directors Cut also features an improved visual engine. All of the visual improvements to the lighting system, fog and smoother shadows included with The Missing Link DLC have been applied through the whole game. The anti-aliasing features make this the best looking Deus Ex available. The improvements dont stop there either. Enemy AI also received a polish pass, resulting in a much more consistent and intelligent experience.
*phew!*
