Deus Ex: Human Revolution is set for its August launch, but for now we have a smattering of new screenshots to whet your appetite and another hilarious ESRB rating description. If you want to avoid spoilers, you may want to skip the text below, otherwise, catch a glimpse of the violence, drugs and sex included in the game:
This is a first-person shooter in which players assume therole of Adam Jensen, an ex-cop who must uncover the truth behind a cyberneticscompany’s attack. Players complete mission-based objectives to increase theircharacter’s skills (e.g., stealth, strength) and advance the main storyline.Players use pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, and explosives to kill a varietyof human enemies (e.g., soldiers, police officers, gang members, drug dealers).Players can also use stealth attacks (e.g., choking, electrocution) to dispatchenemies at close range. Firefights are highlighted by screams of pain,realistic gunfire, explosions, and large sprays of blood that stain thesurrounding environment. Players can sometimes make choices that result in thedeath of innocent characters: during one sequence, an injured man asks to be“put out of his misery”—the main character can then administer a morphineoverdose. Civilians can also be killed directly, though this may negatively affectplayers’ progress. As the game progresses, alcoholic beverages (e.g., beer,vodka, cocktails) can be purchased and consumed to reduce damage, resulting ina screen-blurring effect. In one mission, players can plant “illegal drugs” ina character’s residence; marijuana products (i.e., “cigaweed”) are occasionallyreferenced in the dialogue. Some missions contain sexual material: a brothelroom containing a sex toy on the bed; dialogue with prostitutes (e.g., “Theywant me to get augmentations . . . for the customer’s pleasure. It’s sick” and“[W]e can find a quiet spot . . . Do you have enough money for me, sexy?”). Thewords “f**k” and “sh*t” can be heard in the dialogue.
