![]() ![]() sending players to either the palisades bank mission, or the mission to stop the bomber (Allison). side missions that I didn’t complete, people I didn’t speak with (or dialogue options that differed from those I selected). It includes sequences that I didn’t see when playing the game itself, i.e. Here is a compilation of Mankind Divided cutscenes at YouTube – starting with a summary of the narrative of the prequel, Human Revolution. Check it out below.Screenshots, cutscenes and dialogue from Deus Ex: Mankind Divided It was sent to me in response to my inquiry about composer Michael McCann's involvement in the game, with the implication being that the music you hear in the trailer is from McCann, and he will indeed be on board. Update: Mankind Divided has released its first official story trailer that gives a more clear picture of exactly what the game is about, along with some traditionally amazing augmented action sequences. If I had to guess, we won’t see the sequel until 2016, however, and I wouldn’t rule out entirely a remaster of Human Revolution ahead of its launch, despite what I’ve said above. I’m outrageously excited for a new Deus Ex, and I can’t wait to hear more. Probably a good idea, given how famously ill-advised that “pick a color” style ending was in the first place. In both the short preview trailer and in other leaked articles, the implication is that the four different endings found in Human Revolution will be non-canon, and the developer will simply pick the one that best suits their story. Game Informer has a cursory amount of information in their cover story snippet namely that Adam Jensen will return as the hero, and the new game takes place just two years after the events of Human Revolution and will focus on a sort of “robotic apartheid” where augmentations are now deemed bad because of the events of the last game. Once we see other series like GTA, Elder Scrolls, Fallout and others follow suit, it’s going to be an entirely new age of quality games that isn’t stuck in the past.Īs for Mankind Divided, there still isn’t all that much information about it. Rather, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided seems like a somewhat unique step forward into an era when cross-generation games or HD remasters of old titles are no longer the majority of the market, and beloved series finally start trying to make the most out of new-gen capabilities. Not that it would be bad, but if it delays Uncharted 4 even further, that wouldn’t be great. On Sony’s side, we do have Uncharted 4 on the distant horizon, and thankfully we’ve avoided an HD remaster of the entire Uncharted series so far. But both series did go the HD remaster route already with Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition and the (completely disastrous) Halo: Master Chief Collection. We are in fact going to see a next-gen sequel to Tomb Raider this year and also a full-on Halo 5, both from Microsoft. There are a few exceptions to this other than this newly announced Deus Ex. Nearly everyone else has been focused on remastering their classic franchises for a quick rerelease rather than pushing forward full-steam with a new sequel. In fact, I can really only name one game that has been a sequel to a popular series, not an HD remaster, and not a cross-gen release, Infamous: Second Son. Elsewhere, in the first year and a half of release, we’ve only seen a scarce handful of truly “next gen” sequels for popular franchises. Half of games are still stuck on the bridge between PS3/360 and PS4/One, developing versions for both generations that hold back their true potential. ![]() I think they effectively serve their purpose and give the lack of backward compatibility in the PS4/Xbox One console era, they’re one way for players to experience the biggest hits of last gen if they missed them or want to replay them with all DLC/better graphics/etc.īut it’s hard to feel like this console generation hasn’t been stalled somewhat when it comes to big new next-gen only releases. It’s not that I have anything against remasters, per se. ![]()
