Hmm, judging from the trailer, it looks like the DLC has some meat to it. I can't see it being any longer than a couple of hours, though.

Sounds like the Thi4f Bank Heist DLC. Which I hear was actually pretty good compared to the game. I've always loved the bank heist mission in Metal Age.
Pritchard
DLC looks okay, but I'll still wait until all of the DLC releases probably.
the baseball returns lmao
The Palisade stuff reminds me:
During the story mission where you break into the lowest part of the bank and get into the moveable storage unit, as you escape through the huge elevator, you can pull out a unit for Picus. It requires a Picus keycard to open the unit, though, and I didn't have one - nor did I ever find one during the game. As far as I can tell, I only missed one sidequest (the murder mystery - I followed the inspection notification, but when I got there, nothing happened and none of the NPCs or objects seemed to trigger any kind of scene) so I wonder if there's a way to ever open Picus' secure vault.

Yes, there is a card...
You can get into all of the vaults. There is the VersaLife story mission one, Picus, Tarvos Security and Tai Young Medical. You can find the key cards in the world.

Looks really sweet. Dat shoehorn of Breach into the DLC though (last seconds of the trailer) ... I am sorry Eidos-Montreal, but Breach will never take off.
pritchard looks and sounds really really weird. according to the deus ex wiki it's the same voice actor.
i dunno about shoehorn. the female hacker who seems important in this dlc is the main character in breach so it seems like they link together quite nicely.
I could only find the
Tai Young Medical card (tho i can't remember where), but never found the others 2

It has Pritchard, so I sure hope it's good. But it's very unlikely to be anything more than a new story and location.
He sounds the same to me, but I don't like that they took away his bangs and slicked his hair back. Makes him look weird.

Went to my "Ready to Install" list on Xbox only to find that literally all of the Season Pass/Pre-order incentives never actually downloaded.
Guess that explains where my fancy coats were.

Just watched the trailer for System Rift. Looks so good. Wish it was part of the full game, I don't like having to start over with a limited number of praxis points.
The Paliside Blade is a new location though right? I thought at first it was just the bank again but it's actually a whole new building by the looks of it which is a huge plus.
Andthe MGS references are awesome. Nuclear Snake!! lol. Can't wait. Is it available to download yet on PS4? I'm ok work atm so I can't check till I get home. I know it's not active till tomorrow but a pre load would be nice.

It's a new location, but in Prague if you look out at the water you can see it in the distance.
And I think that was Pritchard's username in DXHR?

Note that the "Nuclear Snake screenplay" is something you can actually find:

It's also something you can find a reference to on his computer in HR, where he kept pitching a series to Picus, who turned it down because they thought that the hacker main character (who was clearly Pritchard) seemed like a coward, and suggested that he write a script involving a stoic ex-cop.
it's in the Picus reporter's apartment.

Right, I've completed the main game twice now (the second time on I Never Asked For This), but I think I'm going to have to call it a day on Breach mode - I've got myself up to tier 3 but this is just getting too frustrating. The main game has been fantastic, but that platinum trophy doesn't mean enough to me to continue to push myself through this. It's a shame really, as Breach has the potential to be a great addition to the game, but instead it's more focused on pushing players towards the micro-transaction purchases.
Time now for Desparate Measures then I'll move on. If the DLC gets a decent discount at some point, I may pick that up some time down the line.

The keys you're missing can be found here -
I'm checking the Asian PSN like a madman but it seems like System Rift won't be up today (as they've already released other DLC for today)
Also a quick PSA for anyone trying to get the pacifist trophy
I hacked turret's and also security robots to kill a few guards and I still managed to get the trophy

To quote myself, I've just read that System Rift basically doesn't continue from your main character. Items and Augment upgrades all reset.
Are they incapable of creating a system to continue a character? Two games now and they still can't get it right. I knew the moment the game didn't make a final save after the ending that something was suspect.
Welp, looks like it's time to crack out cheat engine and give myself the character I spent an ungodly amount of time on

There is a final save after the ending, otherwise you wouldn't be able to start New Game+

It's downloading a 1.0 GB patch right now, anyone knows what it is? I don't have the season pass so I don't think it's DLC.

Well, I guess I can wait for more reviews on the DLC in the meantime, as well as work on the plat.

Sony's stupid system of requiring three different certifications (from American, European and Asian branches) remains really fucking stupid.

I played the Desperate Measures mission. Took about an hour and didn't explore very thoroughly. I'm thinking that an entire subplot with Ivan Berk was planned but ended up being cut, and this section managed to be complete enough for them to drop it into the game as a "bonus." Especially given what the first trailer showed where Adam was trying to prevent the attack rather than being caught in it out of nowhere like in the final game, the plot probably went through plenty of rearranging. As is normal for video games, but there are still so many hints left in the game that they planned more, and the main story we got is pretty bare-bones.
Did it download anything? I only have it on PC, where Steam shows what's installed.

I loved Mankind Divided, and I've already played through twice, but for some reason I have almost no desire to play the new DLC. I would love a Blood and Wine type expansion though.
