Following its release last July on iOS and Android devices, Deus Ex: The Fall will launch on PC via Steam this March. The new version will receive a host of additions such as updated AI, an improved tutorial, Steam achievements and badges and improved graphics optimisation.
Deux Ex: The Fall is the fourth game in the Deus Ex series, the first of which has been released exclusively for iOS devices today.
Chris is off this week putting the world to rights. As a result, I get the honour of ushering in yet another week of gaming here at Reticule towers. This week, I’ve been healing the sick in Surgeon Simulator 2013, Edcrab’s confusingly travelled back in time to the dystopian future of the original Deus Ex, and Kevin’s been exploring pastures new and old in Path of Exile and Mass Effect.
In the past few years the trend for releasing classic old games in shiny new HD has risen dramatically. So too has the release of prequels to classic series like Halo and Deus Ex been on the rise. So why is the gaming industry taking us back to the start of the last generation of games? Is it a step back in development or a way to remember better times?
A little while back it was reported that the latest Deus Ex title was going to feature in-game billboard advertisements, ala the likes of Battlefield 2, and recently people have spotted the Star Wars Blu-ray, of all things, advertised on its loading screens. So far- at least from my experience of running around crushing people with beverage dispensers- I’m yet to encounter either. Perhaps it’s something that will crop up later depending on region, or not at all. But it…
Deus Ex: Human Revolution has captured the imagination of a few of us here at The Reticule, whenever I boot up Steam I always see a handful of us madly playing away. So, I called the troops together to share some of our thoughts on the game. Beware of minor plot and mechanical spoilers.
This video is a must watch for any Deus Ex fans, any for people who are interested in the current, and future development of prosthetic limbs and eyes and the possibility of introducing cybernetics to the human body. This 12-minute documentary follows Rob Spence, a film-maker commissioned by Square-Enix to investigate prosthetics, cybernetics and human augmentation.
Rob is something of a human cyborg, after losing one of his eyes, he had it replaced by a wireless camera. This is a very interesting snapshot of what the future may hold, the firefighter mask is especially Deus Ex style. There will be a four-minute cut of the documentary shown on Sky Sports in the UK on the 27th and 28th of August.
I had the pleasure recently to speak to Jonas Waever, the ‘creative lead and handyman’ of The Nameless Mod. This was an ideal time to talk to him, the mod for Deus Ex has been available for a few days now and they have already had 4,000 downloads. Read on to see the full interview.
After seven long years of development The Nameless Mod has been released. Developed by Off Topic Productions this massively detailed Deus Ex mod can now be downloaded.
