Deus Ex: Video Game Revolution?

Platform: Ps3, Xbox 360, PC
Genre: Shooter, RPG
Release Date: February 2011
Developer: Eidos Montreal
Publisher: Square Enix

The augmentations look awesome and seem
to work awesome too.
The original Deus Ex could have been the best PC game of all time, it combined great cyberpunk shooting with role playing, it was awesome. Then came Deus Ex: Invisible war, a dumbed down and not as good sequel but still exceptional. And now we look to Deus Ex: Human Revolution for our Deus desires. The new FPS/RPG will be on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC and will be a prequel to the other two games. An interesting feature is the ability to augment your body to help you in missions (similar to Crysis 2), they are divided into 4 types; combat, stealth, social and technology, with these you can go through the game without killing anyone (other than bosses) or kill just about everyone. Another awesome feature is squad leaders, these command a squad of enemies and if killed the squad will go a bit rubbishy, the enemies can also react to different play-styles making the game more... interesting <evil laugh>. A big change is regenerating health, the developers didn't want players to get stuck due to low health. Close-up-instant-kills, certain augmentations and the cover system are all in third person unlike the rest of the game.

Speach will play a large part of the game,
your social abilities can be upgraded!
(Intimidate - 1up!)
Adam Jensen (You) is a security guard at a company that makes augmentations, after an attack on the company he is forced to undergo augment surgery (as I call it), giving him wrist blades and cool mech-shades. Adam has an apartment to store his collected stuff (where else do you put your oddheadgaming fan letters?), you will travel to 5 different places, 3 being Shanghai, Detroit (put your hands up) and Montreal. Adam's actions will lead to the creation of UNATCO (United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition), a company that fights International Terrorism in the 1st and 2nd game. Catch the game in February 2011.
