Deus Ex: Human Revolution

I didn't try the original Deus Ex until way too late, and as such its features and technology just didn't impress me. The choice-heavy gameplay it pioneered has become usual, and its mechanics simply couldn't measure up to modern games. But I can appreciate that, back in 2000, it would have been a pretty amazing experience.

So when I watch trailers and developer diaries for Human Revolution, and it looks so good, I really hope that it can live up to that idea of pushing the medium forward, again. I am slightly worried, though, that it will just be a barely-playable mess, the latest in Eidos's and Square-Enix's last few years of overhyped AAA garbage.

Fingers crossed -- we'll find out on Tuesday.
