Video Interview: Eidos Montreal producers talk Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Finally! Some Deus Ex news! I was REALLY looking forward to some footage or... anything... I'm surprised nobody's had any impressions or videos or stuff like that. This game IS playable at the show, isn't it?

Invisible War all over again.

I love that they're not bending over backwards with homage to the original game. It gives me the impression that they're in this to make an excellent game, first and foremost, which is the best way you can revive a franchise.

I'm not saying they should disregard the previous games, and I know they aren't either. They just aren't making terrible stretches to fit in every aspect of games past; they're taking their own road, and I believe the game will be better for it.

...I have now explained and rephrased myself as much as they did in that interview =P

This!!! Do more of this. I'd like it if you could get the devs of io interactive too. Interview them for Kane and Lynch and ask them about Hitman damn it.

Nice haircut, Justin! I really like the new Joystiq "opening sequence"!

Quoting the interviewer:
"How do you get players to engage when it's a self-interested story?"

Obviously he has never played Planescape: Torment before. There are a lot of games which revolves around the protagonist's personal journey. I personally prefer these kind of storylines because it's easier to relate to than having a "save the world" or "destroying the bad guys" storyline which - come on, let's be real - almost no one can actually relate to.

Don't get me wrong, they can be loads of fun and plots can still be superb, but I just prefer a character-driven story.

BTW, Deus Ex series was one of the games I always overlook at game stores. Then I watched the DX:HR trailers and got so interested. Did a little bit of research on the franchise. And now here I am playing the first Deus Ex and loving every bit of it. Guess it's never to late to be a big DX fan!

Oh DX:HR I want to love you, I really do. But this interview was not inspiring.

You know, this is the first time I recall seeing a Joystiq video intro. Was this just added in or has there been one for a while/

This game sounds great.

If this game is going to become just another FPS, then I'll pass.

Unlike most gamers, I didn't mind Invisible War all that much.

At this point, I don't think anyone should be judging Human Revolution without seeing the game in action - and not basing opinions on game designers with difficult accents.
