Deus Ex: Human Revolution Trailer Takes a Leaf Out of the Book Of Blade Runner

Teased just a few days ago, the Deus Ex: Human Revolution trailer is now here, and it's pretty bloody awesome, boasting Final Fantasy movie levels of CGI visual fidelity.

Tearing a page straight from Blade Runner's book - the best book to be taking pages from - the Deus Ex 3 video consists of no actual gameplay footage, but gives you an idea of the type of environments and deep story to hopefully expect from the game.

Opening with a weird Icarus dream, as the game's hero soars towards the sun, the trailer then shoes a Detroit City in 2027, plunged into turmoil amid enormous technological advancement.

It's a fantastic promotional trailer for the game, and if you can pull an enemy's head through a wall and snap his neck, as seen at the end of the vid, then we are most definitely sold.

Expect more from Deus Ex: Human Revolution at E3 2010 later in the month.

  • thats pretty sweet
  • cant wait for this to be released!!
  • Interesting to think how the gameplay will end up after seeing all those cybernetics and action. Could be really, really cool.
  • This is going to be either Really good or the biggest disappointment of next year!
  • TIME TO FREAKING PRE-ORDER!! man this looks sick! wasn't expecting something like this just before the E3. but in the beginning why the hell was there a scene about Icarus?
  • @4: I always feel that way when I see cinematic trailers like this... like with Ubi's Future Soldier IP. If this game even comes close to replicating the look of this trailer, it'll be fantastic. Elements of Blade Runner, Matrix and of course the old Deus Ex games could make this a blockbuster. *fingers crossed, adds to wishlist*
  • amazing cgi short movie haha.. the gameplay will probably fall short since the bar is set so high.
  • Still weird seeing Square-Enix name attached to Deus Ex. But
  • Thats looks retarded. In a good way.
  • kewl. Just hope the gameplay is almost as pretty
  • one of the best trailer ive seen in a long time!
  • HOLY SHIT
  • #4, agreed. Loved the original Deus Ex; way back in my more PC oriented gaming days. Definitely hoping the result will live up to the representation.
  • Amazing game and i truly hope that the future is not going to be this way
  • people questioning this release are idiots... it's Deus Ex, potentially the best FPS series ever created.
  • that trailer looks sooooooooooo awesome... ill be following this game now =D
  • Wow, it looks like they are going the path of the first game with giving it a amazing storyline and a great main character. Not to mention his arms are very cool it looks like they will be able to be upgraded to be able to use, or be altered into diffrent weapons most likely.
