Square Enix and Eidos Montreal recently released an impressive pre-rendered trailer for Deus Ex: Human Revolution in advance of next week’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). The game is the third in the Deus Ex franchise and the first to not be developed by Ion Storm and series creator Warren Spector.
Be sure to set the video to 1080p and Fullscreen.
Set 25 years before the events of the original, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a prequel to the groundbreaking first person shooter/role-playing game. The designers have clearly been influenced by films like Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell and the works of William Gibson; in terms of the setting and tone, Eidos Montreal seem to have nailed the cyber-punk feel of the original. The game looks good, but ultimately it’s how the game plays that will sell the old fans, like me, on the game.
