Deus Ex: HR Development Talk

In a
recent interview, Deus Ex:
Human Revolution Director
Jean-Francois Dugas and Producer David Anfossi talk about the game’s
development and shed a little light on what they would like to
accomplish with the project. Being fans of the original Deus
Ex, which saw its fair
share of Game of the Year awards, they explain why the team wanted to
see the title adopt a new style—while remaining true to the
original. “It was important for us to see Deus
Ex:
Human Revolution as
a new IP. We wanted to re-imagine this world.” Dugas goes on to
explain that “when you look at the endings of the other Deus Ex
games, the future is looking pretty grim.” Human
Revolution is set in 2027,
fifteen years before the original; in this time period, ungovernable
technological advancements and monolithic corporations rule the
world.

the flag is a stripper, and yes, she’s treated very much like an object.
This isn’t what really caused the controversy. No, treating women as a
literal object is not the cause at all. It’s the fact that you have
the option to slap her butt.
