CVG sat down with game director Jean-Francois Dugas to talk about why the original in the series went down so well, what he wants to do with Human Revolution and the ingredients that go into making a Deus Ex game.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has leapt straight to the top of the UK All Format charts, but failed to sell as many units during its opening week as its predecessor Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
How the heck is gtav still in the top 10, like this has to be some type of record it's been like 3 years since release
GTAV is simply the game which sells as each console sells. Most newcomers first game on current console is becoming GTAV, I'm guessing they buy it just after buying their PS4/XB1.
It is just a monster that will not stop until GTA6 rolls out years later.
Yes, I understand that, but i'm saying there has been about 150 game launches since it's inception into this world and you mean to tell me that this game outlasted all of them, yet people want to complain about GTAV. This is a true juggernaut and the thing about it is 0 paid DLC yet this is by far the highest selling game in a 3 year release stint. Simply amazing. lOl If only my apps did this haha.
Mankind divided is so much better than human revolution. Mankind plays and feels like a real deus ex game. It's the best once since the original ps2 days. I loved human revolution but it was missing things. This one got it right in every way.
The story, or rather the conclusion, is a letdown, and only having Prague and some one-time areas to explore got a bit boring, but otherwise I agree. The new augments were awesome, the game was beautiful and the sidequests were great. I really wish more open world games had meaningful sidequests like Deus Ex and The Witcher 3, instead of tacking on dozens of "Hunt 12 of this" or "Collect 5 of that" and calling it good.
Probably why they added so many micro-transactions. They are going to try and make up for less sales. Superb game otherwise. Can't get enough of it.
Square Enix have teamed up with Amazon to offer a bonus game for Xbox owners that is guarenteed to be backwards compatible.
Steam is offering a huge discount on Dues Ex collection right now and clock is ticking as it is only available for less than two days.
if they keep true to what made the first game amazing, this game will be massive
Indeed,have really high hopes for this.
