Sometimes you see a game trailer which absolutely blows your mind away. Sometimes it’s the music or the graphical presentation or often even just the sheer “epic-ness” of said trailer that blows you away. Either way this trailer of Deus Ex: Human Revolution released for the upcoming E3 2010 event, looks like one of those trailers. I admit, I’ve only played the first game for a short amount of time and it never really influenced me to a judgment of any kind. However after seeing this trailer released by Eidos Montreal in co-production with Square Enix, it looks like a game I’d definitely be interested in seeing more of. Clearly the trailer takes full advantage of the Square Enix method of CGI production but hey, cool armour and big blazing guns … sign me up.
Set in a dystopian world during the 2050s, the central plot follows rookie United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition agent JC Denton, as he sets out to combat terrorist forces, which have become increasingly prevalent in a world slipping ever further into chaos. As the plot unfolds, Denton becomes entangled in a deep and ancient conspiracy, encountering fictional recreations of organizations such as Majestic 12, the Illuminati, and the Hong Kong Triads throughout his journey.

Invisible War takes place twenty years after Deus Ex, in a world being rebuilt after a catastrophic event called The Collapse. Following a terrorist attack that destroys the city of Chicago, the player assumes the role of Alex D, a trainee at the fictional Tarsus Academy, whose support is sought by several organizations. As the game progresses, the player learns of conspiratorial factions which seek to drastically change the world. Invisible War was designed to allow player choice in both plot and gameplay, with branching plot lines and emergent gameplay elements. This freedom of choice was widely praised by critics.
