A noteworthy patch for Deus Ex: Human Revolution's PC edition launched yesterday on Steam, bringing changes including fixes for stuttering and other bugs, performance improvements, and the ability to skip its intro logo movies.
A Mac port of Eidos Montreal's splendid cyberpunk romp Deus Ex: Human Revolution will be released this winter, Mac publisher Feral Interactive announced today. Feral's been behind the Apple-y editions of games including BioShock and Borderlands.
Fresh from the launch of the critical success of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, it appears that developer Eidos Montreal might be doubling in size. Publisher Square Enix is apparently making a push to greatly expand the Canadian studio, pending the approval of a £1.2M grant ($2M CAD), by local government officials. Though the deal has not yet been finalized, the funding would be used to help facilitate the rapid increase in head-count.
On August 29, a special message was delivered to players via the Deus Ex: Human Revolution menu screen, directing them to visit the game's official website for updates. The message was accompanied by a mysterious alphanumeric string. The gaming community banded together, and a few days later, the code was cracked. Could this puzzle be a tease for upcoming downloadable content?
After pulling Deus Ex: Human Revolution off of their shelves, GameStop's drama is seemingly coming to an end today, with the company offering reparation to customers that purchased a copy of the game--only to find it had been gutted.
When publisher Square Enix offered a coupon for OnLive, a competitor of GameStop's own digital services, the retailer opened sealed copies of the game and removed the coupon from their inventory. Afterwards, they pulled the game entirely from store shelves. The very-public debacle comes to an end as customers are receiving apologetic e-mails.
The PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution includes free access to the streaming OnLive version. Good deal, right? Well, apparently not every retailer is happy with this gratis bonus. GameStop employees are being told to "immediately remove and discard the OnLive coupon from all Regular PC versions of Deus Ex: Human Revolution."
Cloud gaming service OnLive bills itself as a revolutionary step in gaming technology, and wants to show you its vision of the future with a very fitting promotion. Retail PC copies of cyberpunk RPG Deus Ex: Human Revolution include a code for a free copy of the full game on OnLive, letting you jack into it from online terminals and datapads.
This is "the first video game disc packaged with a free cloud gaming copy," according to OnLive president Steve Perlman--and what better game to start with?
In Deus Ex: Human Revolution, corporations seek to accelerate the natural evolution of the species with mechanical augmentations to help propel humanity into a new era.
When mortal wounds force augments on him, the game's central character, Adam Jensen, gets caught in the middle of a class warfare between natural and augmented humans, as well as the greed of corporations. Though he awakens more powerful than he has ever been, in the face of a greater conspiracy he is little more than a pawn.
Special themed Team Fortress 2 items are a common pre-order perk for Steam games nowadays, but there's nothing common about the shiny new toys being offered for pre-ordering Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Oh my.
The latest trailer for Deus Ex: Human Revolution to explore the game's "four pillars of gameplay" features two major elements: social interaction and engineering and the game's hacking mini-game.
As a large scale title, Deus Ex: Human Revolution relies on conversations to help players better understand their objectives and open new avenues to completing their tasks. In our recent preview, we dove into some of the character interaction and modification that the player will come face-to-face with when the game launches later this month, and came away craving more.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the anticipated prequel to the cult-classic Deus Ex franchise, is just a few short weeks away.
Though my recent preview discussed some of the subtleties of the franchise, the latest trailer for the game explores the game's "bigger picture." Learn about the world, the game's hero Adam Jensen, his plethora of choices, and the abilities he will have at his disposal in his upcoming battle.
At a certain point, it became acceptable, perhaps even sensible, to be excited about Deus Ex: Human Revolution. A prequel to one of the greatest games ever made made by entirely different people sounds scary, certainly, but the more we see and play, the better it seems. The latest good news nugget is that, by popular demand, an adjustable field of view option has been added to its PC edition.
It's not every day we put a purely promotional "viral video" on the site. However, this is not just any ordinary viral video. Square Enix has created a live action promo for its upcoming Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and it does a great job of setting up the game's major conflict. How does society respond to the increasing demand of augmentations? And how does someone get addicted to augmentations? The answers, as you'll see, aren't very pretty.
Here's a good way of figuring out if a game is close to release: count the number of trailers that come out on a weekly basis. Square Enix has been a media-producing machine, churning out new dev diaries and gameplay videos of Deus Ex: Human Revolution on a regular basis. Many of us are attempting a media blackout before the game's August 23rd release, and Square Enix is definitely not making it easy.
Square Enix has released yet another dev diary, this time focusing on the various cities you can travel to in the upcoming Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Detroit is the home of the augmentation revolution, an analogy to the rise of the automobile in the 20th century. Montreal is home to Picus, the leading media organization in the world (and also real-life home of developers Eidos Montreal). Hengsha, an island of Shanghai, features Tai Yong Medical, featured in last week's dev diary.
One of the more fascinating stats revealed in the video is the sheer amount of content created for the game. There are 100 different brands created for the game, in order to give an authentic feeling to the world. There are also over 1300 props so that the developer could fill the world with "clutter. Loads of crap everywhere." Apparently, the future isn't quite a squeaky clean place to live. Read more »
