A recently released documentary directed and narrated by ‘The Eyeborg’, Rob Spence (he has a camera for an eye!), is exploring just how close we are to the types of human augmentation that we’ve seen in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Traveling around the world, Spence investigates the many areas of human prosthetics, including interviewing other cyborgs like himself. Check out the video after the break. (more…)

The folks at Eidos Montreal have confirmed through Twitter that the long awaited Deus Ex Human Revolution will see a release this August.

The prequel to the Deus Ex franchise will arrive in North America on August 23 with a European release following on August 26. Previously, Human Revolution was delayed for further polish time by publisher Square Enix. It will release on PC, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3. We had a chance to preview the game at E3 and are hoping to get hands-on sometime in the near future.

Luckily for PAX attendees, Square Enix will be showcasing Deus Ex: Human Revolution as a live demonstration Saturday, March 12 2:30PM-3:30PM at the Main Theatre with a developer Q&A to follow.

New media for Eidos Montreal Deus Ex prequel, Human Revolution have surfaced in the form of a trailer and new screenshots. The franchise is getting its reboot in its third entry, as previously the former games were developed by the now defunct Ion Storm.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is scheduled for release in 2011 for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC. Its launch was delayed to allow time for further polish. (more…)

Square Enix is undergoing harsh times at the Japanese headquarters. According to Gamasutra, the publisher has slashed its yearly profit forecast from 12 billion yen to 1 billion yen, a 90 percent reduction.

Making matters worse, the publisher has opted to delay Eidos Montreal’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution which was slated for release before March 2011. Now the game will launch sometime after April 2011. Previously, it was recognized that the PS3 release of Final Fantasy XIV would be delayed to address key developmental concerns stemming from the lackluster launch of the PC version. The lack of a review (we’ve had the review copy since September) and extension of its free trial period is indicative of the disaster. Delays are a factor, as the PS3 release of FFXIV, Deus Ex, and the long-awaited Tomb Raider reboot are heavily anticipated titles in 2011 for Square Enix.

2010 looked like a banner year for Square-Enix RPGs: Final Fantasy XIII, Dragon Quest IX, and Kingdom Hearts. Yet delays, underperforming titles, and the critical reception towards their key MMORPG franchise certainly doesn’t help.

Eidos Montreal’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution will recieve a limited edition version titled “Augmented Edition” when it releases early next year. The Augmented Edition will run for $70 for Xbox 360, PS3 and $60 for PC.

The Augumented Edition will include:
- 40-page Artbook
- Exclusive Bonus DVD: Making Of, Special Trailers, Animated storyboard of CGI trailer and Soundtrack
- Premium Packaging
- Motion Graphic Novel

Also, two pre-order bonuses were detailed and pre-orders for the game are now open. (more…)

Square-Enix has released new screenshots of Eidos Montreal Deus Ex: Human Revolution revealing a multitude of new features in game. The new screens show the game’s protagonist, Adam Jensen, performing assassinations, surprising enemies from above, and some espionage tomfoolery to be had. It also shows off the social interaction in-game where you can walk up people, a la Mass Effect, and proceed in a conversation.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is slated for a 2011 release on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC; its also the reboot of the storyline franchise, yet containing similar elements, from the previous two games developed by Ion Storm. If you want to read up, check out our latest preview on the game.

Oh and before you look at the screens, yes, they are in-game screenshots. (more…)

The third installment of Deus Ex is actually a prequel to the first game, set 25 years before the events of the original Deus Ex. It is being developed by Eidos Montreal and Square Enix. After the somewhat disappointing sequel that was Deus Ex: Invisible War, Human Revolution comes as a big surprise. It looks like the third game will be as amazing as the original one. (more…)
