The guys from Eidos Montreal have been discussing all kinds of details concerning the PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution this past week. In the first video, displayed above, they talk about the PC interface and how the classic Deus Ex bottom toolbar makes a glorious return.

In the second video, displayed below, the devs talk about the AMD features like Eyefinity support and 3D, and you can see a very lucky person traversing ventilation shafts on three monitors. Jealous rage!

These two videos also lets us award the "Best Mastery of the English Speech Award" in the category "Montreal" to Jonathan Jacques "Mon Dieu il a un" Belletête, art director for the Deus Ex prequel. Congratulations Jonathan!

The final video specifically concerns the PC port, developed by Dutch studio Nixxes in cooperation with Eidos Montreal from the start. If you were worried that the PC version would be a bad console port, this video is for you. It's worth noting that PC Gamer did an in-depth report on the PC UI and settings today, and it looks like there is still some work left to be done. Luckily they have three months to do just that.

You're not so good at this trollin' business, methinks.

@Hoffa: I'm a console gamer, and I find your elitism insulting. Deus Ex is a PC game, as far as I'm concerned anyway, so I hope Nixxes do it justice.

Shh... Don't let these heathens hear the top secret plans. Our work is nearly complete. The Grand Ones could have your head on a plate if you don't shut up.

Die you stupid cunt.
Awesome work, anyways guys. Makes me want to upgrade my computer just for this. If it turns out to be another cult classic, maybe I will spend that thousand dollars for a godly gaming machine.

Dear Square/Eidos, this is all I needed to know, if you fix the pre-order page on Steam I'll pre-order.

@Hoffa1979: lol. Consoles and their limitations are arguably holding the industry back.


These videos make me less worried.

Please don't embed youtube videos that default to 720p. Not everyone has a connection fast enough to stream it.

OH NO...The tetris inventory system like Resident Evil 4. So we get to play a minigame besides the game. I hate this..

"The final video specifically concerns the PC port..."
Since when was the PC version a port?

@Hoffa1979 Xbox exists because of the PC.

This video warms my heart to the core and has made my platform choice for this game a no brainer. I love these guys for listening to the community and Hoffa1979 just goes to prove that console fanboys are most likely going to be too young/stupid to appreciate their game. Now run along back to blackops little one.

@Zelnick:

Since development for the PC version was outsourced to a company that handles PC versions. But as they have apparently done this from the very beginning and with a lot of coordination, "port" doesn't need to have the negative connotation that term carries.
