#Deus ex human revolution augmentations upgrade

These improvements have been retrofitted into the entire game for the Wii U version. Enemy cone of vision, which governs when guards detect Jensen, was made more consistent. Dugas says Human Revolution's programmers continued to work on the game's AI as it was in submission with Microsoft and Sony, and were able to make improvements that made it into The Missing Link DLC. But we wanted to give you more opportunities to have fun with all the augmentations you acquire.'Д®lsewhere, the AI governing Deus Ex's enemies has been improved to include the tweaks made for The Missing Link downloadable expansion. 'It's not balancing it to make it super easy,' Dugas insists. This should mean players use Jensen's augmentation powers more freely.

On Wii U the energy system has been made more forgiving by allowing for two energy cells to recharge by default on all but the hardest difficulty. 'One of the criticisms we received back with the original release was, it's cool you have all those augmentations, but it's like at the same time we balanced it in such a way that we don't want you to use them!' Dugas says with a chuckle. This limited the use of augmentations - perhaps the game's coolest feature. The vanilla version limits Jensen's recharge to one cell only - irrespective of how many cells are unlocked. If Deus Ex's boss battles topped the list of complaints, its energy system came a close second. You can just use some of the devices or tricks in the rooms to eventually kill them without having to spend your own bullets.' 'They have to die,' Dugas says, 'but the fact is you're not forced to go full-frontal with them. Understandably Eidos Montreal wasn't able to provide players with the option to not kill the bosses, although it sounds like it would have liked to, because the game's story couldn't be altered. This map has been reworked to provide a second additional layer so Jensen can hide, forcing his foe to lose sight of him. Many found Barrett, for example, a particularly tough difficulty spike on account of his high damage, relentless pursuit of the player within a tight hanger. We went through all the boss battles and said, 'let's just start from the beginning,' So that's exactly what we did game designer Emile Pedneault 'We took the whole experience Deus Ex gave you and we applied it correctly to the boss fights,' Pedneault continues. POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD: You can now kill Lawrence Barrett, Yelena Fedorova and Jaron Nammir without firing a single bullet. New hacking challenges are available to players who focus on hacking, and stealth options are available to those who focus on stealth. 'So that's exactly what we did.'Д®ach of the game's three boss fights have had their map layouts reworked to provide players with alternative potential strategies. 'We went through all the boss battles and said, 'let's just start from the beginning,'' Pedneault says.

In short, the boss battles were a bit crap, and it came as no surprise when it was revealed that their development had, in fact, been outsourced.

They were frustrating, combat heavy fights that broke Deus Ex's sneaky heart, forcing players to fire guns pathetically after they'd popped all their upgrade points into stealth and hacking. So, what changes have been made? Top of everyone's list, Deus Ex executive game director Jean-Francois Dugas and game designer Emile Pedneault tell Eurogamer, were the boss battles.Дeus Ex's boss battles are considered by many to be the weakest part of the game. It is a co-production between the huge Canadian studio and Australian developer Straight Right, which has form when it comes to working with the Wii U: Straight Right made the Wii U version of Mass Effect 3. The developer describes it as the 'ultimate edition of the game'. The game is due out exclusively on Wii U (for now - more on that later) soon, although US shop Amazon has it down for 7th May, and it includes a raft of improvements, changes and additional features developer Eidos Montreal hopes will convince those who played Deus Ex when it came out in 2011 for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 to fork out their hard-earned cash once again.Дirector's Cut is, according to Eidos Montreal, more than a port. ORIGINAL STORY: The Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut is real and, yes, the people behind it have fixed the boss battles.
