Square Enix applies for 'Deus Ex: Human Revolution' trademark

by Alexander Sliwinski on Feb 8th 2010 8:30PM

Square Enix has applied to trademark Deus Ex: Human Revolution in Europe (#008862153). A quick scan of other international trademark bureaus hasn't revealed anything similar. As Siliconera notes, it could very well be the official name for the upcoming Deus Ex 3, but that may simply be a conspiratorial assumption based on logic.

Information on Deus Ex 3 is still quite scarce, with the little tidbits we do know highlighted by Square Enix handling CG cinematcs and that whole PC-exclusivity kerfuffle. Hopefully, this trademark signals that the Deus Ex prequel is ready to pull back the fiber-optic curtain.

Sounds good. I'm desperately hoping for a media blowout very soon. This could either be: Watered down shit, or a truly amazing FPS.

No, you've got it wrong. If it's just an fps IT IS watered down shit. Not even DX 2 dumbed things down to that degree. Project Snowblind did... but I'll forget that game ever happened if you will.

Deus Ex was an FPS though.

I should probably rephrase that as RPS. (Role Playing Shooter).

And no, Fallout 3 doesn't count as that because the gunplay in that game was shit. You needed VATS big time.

If Mass Effect 2 is considered an RPG, so is Deus Ex. It had far more RPG elements than ME2, along with more open-ended missions.

First game cool as hell, second game was garbage. hopefuly the third game makes up for the crap of the second one .please put some effort into this game .

Speaking of that PC-exclusivity thing, it says in
Nice Classification:
List of goods and services:
"games for mobile phones"
so I'm guessing there's something for phones then.

Most likely it would be. You tell me why wouldn't it?

Its not ModernWarfare2.

Wow, there's really nothing cooler than somebody, or something, that smokes.

You know your morality is effed when being an Assassin is more acceptable than being a Smoker.

I'm not a machine.

Very nice.

Except that Gunther doesn't use contractions.

actually he does. just in the "orange/lemon-lime" conversation he says "it's the maintenance man".

"Deus Ex: Great Game"

Here you go, I helped you with that.

Because the original Deus Ex was ported over to the PS2 with not many problems. The reason the game might be "dumbed down" is because of the game designers, not the consoles' limitations.

When a PC gamer talks about dumbed down, they are talking about how you can play the game with less buttons rather than using 3 key presses to reload. Game developers are in the business of making money, and the best way to make money is by making your games for a wider audience.

Yes, but look at games like Mass Effect and Dragon Age where the developer put a bit of effort to make it better fit on the PC, with more PC-centric interfaces and GUIs. Both camps are happy.

As long as they follow the lead of the first game I'll be happy. The second was painful to play after the awesomeness of the original.

Some PC games don't port well control-wise.

Anyone who's played Oni on the PS2...the only button it doesn't use is L3.

That game was awesome

get the hell out of here, Bradworst!

They better not anim-ize Deus Ex or eff it up, or I'm going to turn into a filthy homophobic racist (this foreshadowing what I'm going to call them).

Oh and can someone tell a noob how to change the password on Joystiq account if I can?

Thanks Acosta02! :)

Oh god, what an awful name. At least Invisible War was somewhat original. This is just bland.

It'd be cool if DE3 played like ME2. *gets chased away by RPG nerds*

I'm sorry, this is Deus Ex we're talking about, not Dante's Inferno. It has its own unique gameplay and structure, thank you very much.

Too bad it wasnt Bioware

Too bad it's Squire Enix

a company known to make J-style (turn-based/action-bar-thingy combat and all that other jazz) RPGs with anime graphics and next to nothing else.

You can slap me when it turns out to at least live up to the first Deus Ex game and retain the same style.

@Reinhart

You can read the part where it says that Square Enix are responsible for the cinematics?
Eidos is handling the game bits as far as I know.

I've got high hopes for this. Invisible War is a pretty low bar to jump from so this should at least surpass that game with ease. I don't expect it to be as great as the original classic, but one sure can dream!

My trademark has been augmented.

Well I'm mainly concerned that they'd get the Japan branch to do it, and if they do it, they're more likely to do that stuff anime style (cause they don't know any other). I'm happy if Squire Enix Anywhere-the-eff-else does it.

Friggin wrong reply.
