So in my inbox today appeared an email from SquareEnix with news about their latest blockbuster; Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The game website is so far quite empty save for a link to preorder and a teaser trailer of the game.
The trailer opens with helicopters flying around the city at night, dropping the main character off on a rooftop from where he heads on down into the depths of the city. The game visuals are stunning; the city is dark and dangerous, and the character movements are smooth and complex. After the opening sequence is over the trailer thrusts us straight into the action with traditional Deus Ex first person firefights, mixed in with third person action sequences of close combat.
As far as can be seen from the trailer, the game will incorporate elements of stealth, ducking and diving (as in Gears of War style) and close combat using some really dangerous looking electrical wrist blades. In first person mode it appears that there is an advanced sniping mode that looks very stable in the trailer. But the coolest feature to be shown in the trailer has to be the ability to go invisible. We see our character use this ability to sneak behind guards for some close combat executions, and punch through a wall to grab someone on the other side.
All in all, from what we've been shown so far, it looks like Deus Ex is becoming a game worth keeping an eye on in the coming year. Proposed release date is early 2011, but in the meantime you can get more information, as it's released, from the official site www.deusex.com and the trailer can be found here.
