Eidos Montréal Picks Apart Deus Ex: Human Revolution In 45-Minute Retrospective
Recently, Square Enix sat down members of the original Deus Ex team to playthrough the 15-year-old game. Today, the publisher has shared a similar retrospective featuring current members of the team.
Executive game director Jean-François Dugas and executive art director Jonathan Jacques-Belletête play through 45 minutes of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. In addition to discussing the art design and the evolution of characters like the pilot, Malik, there are some amusing bits.
During the discussion, the pair reveal some of the technical challenges encountered along the way. They also reveal animation oddities that weren’t fixed until the end of development (if at all).
With Deus Ex: Mankind Divided coming next year, this might help get you up to speed (or inspire you to play Human Revolution again). For more on Mankind Divided, check out our coverage from the May 2015 issue.
Our Take
I absolutely loved Human Revolution (and managed to finish without killing a single enemy). I’m looking forward to making that kind of run on Mankind Divided when it arrives next year.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
