Re: Deus Ex : Human revolutions
I had to run Deus Ex in Software Renderer mode (P4 500 Mhz with 2MB shared VRAM
) when it came out. Pretty cutting edge I would say. The next generation has missed all the epic titles of 90's and early 2000, and now won't play them because they do not look pretty :|

Go to hell Crytek, see a Console Port, using a consolized engine beat you to DX11 support, and you call your engine truly multi-platform. Well, LOL at that.

Dues Ex Human Revolution Preview Build Impressions :
GRAPHICS : The art design is brilliant. Almost as good as Mass Effect. Unfoprtunately I cannot say the same about the game's graphics. One word : "Horrible". There is simply no excuse to how ridiculously terrible the graphics look. The textures are piss poor and the character models look like something straight out of a PS2 game. The bad graphics are a major distraction from an otherwise solid gameplay. I hope things are going to change in the final build because at its present state it just wouldn't cut it with the gamers.
Rating : 5/10
GAMEPLAY : Solid and fluid. I have only played the game for an hour or so but so far my experience has been pretty good. There is a new cover system which maybe a little confusing at first but once you get the hang of it, its pretty neat. The game plays fine with a controller too. I have not played it enough to really nitpick about the things I do not like, so far it plays like any other shooter although the player movements are very fluid which is great.
Rating : 8/10
Optimization : I am using a 5770 and I am running this on max settings at 1920x1080 resolution in DX 11 mode. I am getting very smooth framerates which suggests that the game is nicely optimized. But this shouldn't really come as a surprise given how terrible the game graphics really look.
Rating : 10/10
Presentation : The presentation is solid. As mentioned, the art design is awesome which really adds to the presentation of the game. The cutscenes are pre-rendered but they look as bad as the game's actual graphics. There is no shortage of style though, the story so far seems interesting.
Rating : 7/10
Overall : 7/10
Pros : Solid Gameplay, good presentation, great art design and a decent story.
Cons : Terrible graphics, pre-rendered cutscenes which look equally terrible.
As I said, I played it too little to really comment on the quality of the game. But from the looks of it, the gameplay and story look solid. But even a great gameplay wont be able to save this with such horrible graphics. If the graphics are not improved for the final build, this game is doomed.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution demoed using AMD Eyefinity
Eye candy!
This is AMD title folks!
Sadly as preview says, graphics isn't too good. But hopefully they improve.

I am sure there are other Deus Ex fans that are staying out of this thread for fear of spoilers and/or retribution for having let slip that they've played the preview build.cranky said:
I played the first two missions in the preview, and the game is brilliant. I think I'll stop here but it is a long wait to the game's release.
Personally, I always consider a game's graphics as graphics+aesthetics so this definitely looks good to me. It also means the game will run on mid-end and low-end cards as well. I was able to push 2560x1600 on a single 6950.
The augmentation system is setup nicely and the hacking segments are interesting as well. (I usually find these mini-games a chore).
The conversation system feels like there needs some thought to get the outcome that you desire. (Unlike Mass Effect 1 where the choices seem very obvious).
Shooting is OK, but nothing brilliant. A definite step up from DX 1. The cover mechanic seems very fluid and hopefully won't be a hindrance.
The menus are very nice. Zero lag in changing screens and not clunky at all. It is a bit sad that this is considered a pleasant surprise. PC menus should never be clunky.
The ability to turn off highlighting is also very nice to have.
Now a few nitpicks
1) Mouse Lag/acceleration - It is in. Also, the x and y axes sensitivities are not equal. Hopefully there is a menu option in the final game or as part of a settings file. I tried to turn this off through the Logitech setpoint software, but didn't help much.
2) Play Style Balancing - The game is a bit biased towards playing in stealth mode, due to the higher XP it gives you for each take-down. I like playing that way, so not an issue for me but could be a bit of a problem for others.
3) Aiming from Cover - This feels a bit cheap/easy, but I can get around it by not using it.
4) Pre-order bonuses - **** everything about pre-order or version specific items. Cosmetic items I can understand, but in game weapons?! Especially in DX? There is a one-time use item that can unlock a door/safe of any tech level even if you do not have the required augmentation level ( it is expensive, so has to be used sparingly), it is a pre-order only item. I am never pre-ordering a game. I will always judge a game on the lowest common denominator of it's features. (/Excuse the rant. THis just pisses me off).
Also, I am really tempted to get this...
Sci-Fi Genre: Deus Ex: Human Revolution Play Arts - Kai Adam Action Figure, Square Enix - $42.50
I'll see if I can get some screen shots.

It's the preview build available on the intertubes. Even the Eidos Montreal official forums have been indirectly encouraging people to play the review build and pass on any feedback.

Sorry, I missed that one post only.
I must say I'm tempted to download, but lie in the case of Crysis 2, I would like to give the developers a chance to COMPLETE their game and then I would actually dare to give them a score for their hard work.
