2027 - The Near-Future: Live Demo of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Dev Team Q&A
Main Theatre
Saturday, 2:30pm - 3:30pm
Want to see what world will look like in 2027? The truth will change you. Join core development team members of the highly anticipated action RPG, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, for a live demo of never before seen gameplay! Deus Ex: Human Revolution is the return to one of the most critically-acclaimed video game franchises of all time. The game tells the story of Adam Jensen, a man cybernetically augmented against his will, who finds himself in the middle of a global conspiracy to which he holds the key. By offering players the chance to advance through the game in multiple and vastly different ways, Deus Ex: Human Revolution challenges the foundations of gaming and provides an immersive experience where every choice has a lasting consequence. A Q&A session will follow the presentation.

Placeholder date. Amazon, like any other retailer, has no inside info on when DX:HR will be released.

[Cpt_Lipman]

Whew!

I got worried as this is the email I received today for my order on feb 4 ...

Haha

Epic WIN, sir. Truly epic.

[pferguso]

I received the same email from Amazon. BestBuy.com has set a release date of August, 2011. Eidos has definitely pushed the release date. They have not made an official announcement about it though.

[vault_overseer]

Bah, another Alpha Protocol scenario.

[Shralla]

I am seriously punching myself in the dick. That is how mad I am that I'm going to miss being the only forum member at the live demo because I was stupid and didn't think they would sell out of passes three weeks in advance.

[H.D.Case]

You, folks, are in denial!!!!!!11ONEONEONE

[Jerion]

I wouldn't feel too bad about it. This is a game that has to be played to be experienced.

[wowlace]

How about a release date of the release date so I know when to check back here?

Autodesk is live streaming various product presentations at GDC throughout the day. At 4:30 PM (PST), David Anfossi, Jean-François Dugas, and Simon Hamelin will be doing a presentation about the use of Autodesk tools in the development of DXHR. You can watch it at the link above once it starts. We might see some cool stuff, but this presentation is primarily about game development tools so keep your expectations in check.

This picture should have written "Captain Obvious" on it somewhere.

The images from early on in the game's development were new.


I also specifically said this was a development tool and pipeline demonstration and that you should keep your expectations in check.

[Ashpolt]

Damn, missed the start so I missed those early development shots. That one looks pretty cool - obviously very early, but still, I like the look of it (barring the XBox hueg crosshair!)

Any chance whatsoever we could be told whether or not the ocean base background / other assets used in that demo were from DXHR or if they were tailor made for the demo? The base itself I could almost see working 9though it wasn't black'n'gold, durr hurr) but the jetbike thing looks too futuristic, and was that a Viper from Battlestar Galactica in the background?

So yeah....any chance we could get a simple yes or no answer to this simple question?
