Deus Ex: Human Revolution Directors Cut no longer Wii-u exclusive

Damage Control after Deus Ex: "The Fail" ?

It seems that Square Enix has decided to make Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut for all platforms now ,and one would surmise that this is some form of damage control.

Everyone were outraged when the revealed the Directors Cut would only come out on Wii-U, and now with the recent announcement of Deus Ex: The Fall, that will only come out on Tablets/iOS, It seems like Square is desperate to not throw more blood in the shark infested waters.

Obviously it's a good thing that everyone else will be able to play the DC, but again : It's clearly an attempt to gain some good grace back.

Score!

"After our Director's Cut announcement we received an overwhelming response from the community asking us to bring this ultimate edition of Human Revolution to other platforms," said Stéphane D'Astous, General Manager of Eidos-Montréal.

"We're thrilled to accommodate that request. We can now say with pleasure, 'You asked for this!'"

 I'll most likely play it but there is now way in hell I am going to pay a full retail price for it.

Deus Ex: The Fail *update*

Quick update regarding the video

The video has been up for 30 minutes, the internet and subsequently Twitter is on fire, oh and the video already has over 1.500 Dislikes, and here's hoping for a couple of hundred-thousand more.

"I never asked for this" comes to mind

I personally think this is one of the stupidest things I have seen this year ,well If we don't count the Xbox "Go home your drunk" one. Either way, completely alienating your fan-base and making something that -no one- has asked for is the pinnacle of stupidity.

I mean, did they sit at a board meeting and say "HMMMMMM How can we possibly outdo ourself in stupidity after we did the Directors Cut with extra features and only released it on one console as a gimmick? OH WAIT I KNOW! let's make it into a Tablet/Phone game" 

New info on Deus Ex: The Fall

Eidos-Montreál reveals Deus Ex: The Fall with a video

It's a game for iPad and iPhone.........

It starts of where the novel "Deus Ex: Icarus Effect" ended, and  you will be playing as the Former S.A.S operative Ben Saxon.

"We are back in 2027 -- a golden era for science, technology and human augmentation, but also a time of great social divide and global conspiracy. Ben Saxon, a former British SAS Mercenary who underwent physical augmentation, is desperate for the truth behind the drug conspiracy. Betrayed by his private military employers, the Tyrants, not only is his own life at risk, but for all augmented humans, time is running out..."

In the video they talk a bit about the game and show of some actual gameplay on an iPad.





Well my hopes and dreams went down the drain.

Keep on looking for the truth JC

 

Deus Ex: The Fall

New Deus Ex game teased via Twitter and Youtube

Yesterday it was discovered that Squre Enix had registered several domain names related to "Deus Ex The Fall".

And about 14 hours ago Eidos-Montréal tweeted out "Are YOU ready for The Fall?"

12 of hours later the official Deus Ex youtube channel had a new video uploaded.

They also tweeted out this "Who is Ben Saxon?" and Ben Saxon is one of the two protagonists in the book "Deus Ex: Icarus Effect" which was released in 2011.
Link to the Wiki with info on Ben Saxon can be found here

Now before the video was uploaded and only the Tweet was out, some sites logically assumed we would see something at E3, however the video has "05/06/13" plastered over it, and that does not correlate to E3 which kicks off June 11th.

Well I'm excited, and I hope they manage to pull something great off, but for the love of god Eidos, make sure to include ways to beat bosses other than direct confrontation in the -standard first run- of the game, and not some "Directors cut" that only comes out as a gimmick for -one- console.

Who is Ben Saxon?
