Deus Ex: Human Revolution 'E3 2011' trailer

Adam Jensen is considered one of the best detectives in Deus Ex's future noir setting. But, he's also great at shooting a gun and snapping necks, as evidenced by this final E3 trailer.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution aims to be much more than just a mindless first-person shooter. But, the depth and nuance of Eidos Montreal's latest may be lost in this final, action-packed, E3 trailer.

Protagonist Adam Jensen is hired to perform some "detective work" -- but in the future, that involves much more than simply collecting evidence and interrogating suspects. No, in the future, you use your genetically-augmented superpowers to stab spines, slam shockwaves, and snap necks to twirl them like dreidels.

      It's kind of jarring going from the pre-rendered amazingness of the cutscenes to seeing gameplay.

      The graphical fidelity is obviously much less, but I don't think it will detract from my enjoyment of the game.

      Anyone have a link to how this melee works in 1P? Or does it switch to 3P for that?

        There is NO player controlled MELEE.

        Takedowns are substituted and are a one-button action and shown in 3rd person.

            Correct.

            You do have his Nano arm blades to go SPROING on everyone with. But the Takedown (Lethal or non-lethal) use up some of your bioenergy.

          Shurcool, I'm not saying you're a shill, but given the fact that a huge number of your posts are about OnLive you are certainly exhibiting some shill-like characteristics. I really like the service too based on my experience with it, but not to the point where every other post I make mentions it.

            Lol, yeah, I've noticed that too, and I should cut it down. But yea, I just really like the service and the future potential of it (both from a gamer's and game developer's perspective). I wish more people were aware of it and gave it a try.

            I tried it completely accidentally once it was free, and I was really surprised. You really don't expect it to be as good as it is (but obviously not perfect; there are tradeoffs).

            But no, no one's paying me to talk about it, I'm just kinda obsessed lol.

              Oh yeah, it definitely has a lot of potential. Honestly, at this point, it's really being held back by bandwidth. I've played through most of AC2 on OnLive so far and, while it's definitely playable, the slight input lag and somewhat muddy visuals still make it a less appealing option to me when compared to a dedicated gaming PC or even a console. That said, the games still look and control well enough to be completely playable, otherwise I would've have dropped so many hours into AC2! Plus, being able to play more graphic-intensive games on my work PC, which has a pretty weak video card, is awesome. I think in a few years the technology will be matured and OnLive will start being a viable competitor to PC and console gaming, but it is still a ways off.

                I'd love to see them put LA:Noire in their line-up. I'm PC only, and the input latency shouldn't be a huge issue with this sort of game.

                It'd be neat to see someone do a tech demo for onlive that used a prohibitively large dataset for a game- something involving voxels or massive amounts of LA:N style facial capture.
