Deus Ex: Human Revolution gameplay trailer shows multiple approaches
by Alice O'Connor, Mar 21, 2011 8:20pm PDTA teasing peek at Deus Ex: Human Revolution's opportunities for different approaches are shown off in an eight-minute trailer with commentary from narrative game designer Mary DeMarle. Three different ways to infiltrate a warehouse in one single, very small area of the first mission are demonstrated.
DeMarle explains that the franchise is built upon "four main gameplay pillars: combat, stealth, hacking and social," the first two of which are the focus of this trailer.
Guards are knocked unconscious, boxes are crouched behind, bullets are fired, bodies are dragged, a crate is moved, vents are crawled through, a breaker box is shut down, and snack bars are plundered. It all looks delightfully like a modern version of the Deus Ex we all know and love.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is scheduled for release on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on August 23. For more on the game, check out our two-part single-player hands-on preview and interview with Mary DeMarle.

Oh and another thing is that in stealthy approach player gains about double the XP for entering said warehouse than in "guns blazing" approach, fair enough... but don't you think that kinda shows the way you should play as gunslingers are kinda penalized for said "tactic" with reduced XP gain?
Also why does shooting an enemy give 20XP? It isn't harder than getting up close and "finishing off" the enemy but gives more experience.
I understand that game tries to "force" players to use their heads rather than a trigger fingers but still it's kinda weird and might lead to the situation where stealthy players advance faster than combat oriented players.
Thank you for reading and have a nice day ;)
