» Deus EX: Human Revolution Info Plus XP

As FPS games go I have had my fair slice of Deus Ex. The first installment I plated on the PC and invisible war I played on the original X Box. I loved invisible war, most gamers out there didn’t take a shine to it as much as I did but I thought it was a well put together game that could keep me entertained for a fair old while.

Now seven years later. The third installment in the Deus Ex franchise has been unleashed, with news now making its way across in internet. Deus Ex Human Revolution will again see us playing from the first person perspective and will have the role-playing elements we are used to from the franchises first outing back in 2000. With weapon and player customisation promised, this will be a game that holds true variety. It has also been said that the game will also have a multi solution approach to its obstacles, meaning, whatever your gaming style is, You will find an enjoyable way of playing Human Revolution.

The beauty about this game is that it is a prequel to Deus Ex 1. Meaning new comers to the franchise will not be left out or thinking ‘what the hell is going on here?’ the game starts a whole 25 years before the first game, but what I do appreciate here is that it won’t leave Deus Ex fans in the dark either, as familiar characters from the previous games will be popping up every now and again. It has also been said that the end of the game will flow pretty much perfectly into Deus Ex 1, which I think is a nice touch also.

If you played any Deus Ex titles you know that the gameplay is very open-ended. For example, if for instance you wanted to go and murder a main character, you could do so, they may be too powerful for you to kill, but hey you can still try. Human Revolution brings that style of open-ended game play back, quite literally giving you the freedom to do pretty much anything you want gameplay and story wise. Mind you some RPG dialogues have to be mandatory to keep the game together but other than that it is up to you, this in turn gives the game some pretty epic replay value, which will have any Deus EX fan salivating.

I am personally looking forward too how the game’s story line deals with Argumented people this time round. In previous titles there have been people in the Deus Ex world who have been argument, which means they have manipulated their body and changed their genetics for the better, weather is getting a reinforced bone structure or the ability of using a sniper rifle without the need of a scope there are people in the dues ex universe who want to make themselves better (and before you say OMG! BIOSHOCK! Deus Ex used the idea first.). There are also the non-argumented humans who think this is absolutely wrong and people shouldn’t ‘play god’ This in turn makes for some interesting political views within the game’s story line. That said, we know that arguments will be making a return in Deus Ex so it will be interesting to see how it will play a part in this story line.

Not much else is known about Deus Ex: Human Revolution as yet, I forgot to mention that this will strictly be a single player game, No multi-player for this title. Which is good really, gives me a chance to max out the achievements.
