Deus Ex: Human Revolution Interviews

Two new Deus Ex: Human Revolution interviews have appeared out of GamesCom, with the first appearing at VG247 with answers provided by producer David Anfossi:

VG247: You have Shanghai, Detroit, and Montreal in the game. I’m assuming Montreal is in there since you guys are doing it, but why Shanghai and Detroit?

David Anfossi: Well, we created the story as whole ya know, so it’s not just the story and then the characters. It’s a whole. So, to define the characters we had to define their background and everything, so we started with that. And, as you know, Deus Ex is about an international conspiracy, and we decided to keep that as is so based on the story and the characters, we decided to give them an international background.

…

You’ve said as far as online goes there’s going to be nothing. Absolutely nothing. What about DLC? Do you have any plans for that?

Anfossi: So you’re right, no multiplayer, it’s a single-player experience. It’s very important for us to deliver a quality game. And that fuels our energy. And yes, we started to work on DLC that will be an extension of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Me and [Jean-Francois] Dugas, the game director, we started to work on that.

And then there’s this six-minute video interview on G4 with game director Jean-Francois Dugas that covers some additional ground.
