E3 2011: DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION Game Trailer

Square Enix has released the trailer for Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which is the third game in the Deus Ex franchise. This game serves as a prequel to the to the first game that was released. I have yet to play any of the games in this franchise, but it looks like it has a solid interesting story.

The game takes place during the year 2027, 25 years before Deus Ex. Nanotechnological augmentations have yet to be developed and biomechanical augmentations are the current state of the art. The main protagonist, Adam Jensen, is a private security officer with Sarif Industries, a leading company that specializes in human augmentations. After he witnesses a chilling attack on his company which leaves him horrifically injured and forced to undergo augmentation to survive, "the conspiracy begins." The visuals are a combination of cyberpunk and Renaissance aesthetics, resulting in a futuristic-looking Baroque world. 

The player will visit five cities over the course of the game, including Detroit, Shanghai and Montreal. In addition, the protagonist will have his own apartment where he may store his secrets and collected information. The events in the game will lead to the formation of UNATCO from the original game.

The game is set to be released on on August 23rd 2011. Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think! If you have played any of these Deus Ex games, do you recommend playing them, and is this a game you would be interested in picking up?
