WHICH ENGINE & PLATFORM?
Deus Ex: Human Revolution will be as cutting edge as possible. The Tomb Raider Underworld engine is the basic platform, but it will be unrecognizable - the dev team is making significant upgrades to it. The DX:HR dev team, plus a team of dedicated engineers are working on the engine and its tools, plus there is a team of engineers in Crystal making improvements. DX:HR will not resemble TRU at all.
Windows, Xbox 360, and PS3 have been confirmed as supported platforms. There are no Mac or Wii versions planned.
WHAT ABOUT CINEMATICS?
DX:HR cutscenes:
-> Engine rendered
-> Made by EM
-> No other kind of cut-scenes
DX:HR trailers
-> Made by Square Enix
-> Based on EM art
The GDC 2010 CGI Teaser's assets, visual design, and aesthetics are taken directly from the game.
WHAT AGE RATING WILL THE GAME GET?
It's unknown for certain right now, but the game is being designed for a mature audience and is being targeted for a 'Mature' rating by the ESRB in North America and '18+' by PEGI in Europe.
WILL THERE BE ANY MULTIPLAYER?
Since a Deus Ex game is primarily a single player experience, DX: Human Revolution will not have a multiplayer component. The dev team wants to focus 100% on delivering the best single player game possible. But that doesn't rule out some kind of online component or future expansions and content, although nothing has been confirmed.
WHAT IS THE RELEASE DATE?
Early 2011.
