Deus Ex: Human Revolution Preview

Another GDC-based preview of Eidos Montreal’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution is available for your scrutiny, and this time the article comes to us via PSX Extreme.

In terms of story, Human Revolution takes place a quarter-century before the events of the original Deus Ex and the city of Detroit in 2027 is a brightly lit, futuristic metropolis apparently inspired by classic sci-fi settings found in the likes of (Bladerunner) and (Ghost in the Shell.) This from art director Jonathan-Jacque Belletete, who spoke with IGN about the game’s ideas, theories, and presentation, and we have to say, the atmosphere should be quite engrossing. Detroit is just rebounding from a downward spiral and the community is springing back to life; this is where we find the main character, Adam Jensen, who works for a security company that played a large role in the city’s resurrection. The company’s owner bought some of the rundown automobile factories and worked to convert them to cybernetics facilities, which will clearly claim the spotlight. Now, we’re not about to guess at the story but it sounds like a classic case of an evil corporation looking to (expand) on the building blocks for humanity.and they’ve gone too far.
