No Compromise On Quality - New Release Date For Deux Ex: Mankind Divided

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has been delayed to August 23, 2016, Square Enix has announced. The game had previously been due to release on February 23, 2016.

Well given how Spring is loaded with more games than this holiday season, it figures that some would eventually be pushed back to avoid getting lost in the shuffle.

Considering how Deus Ex: Human Revolution was very noticeably rushed to market however, I think giving Mankind Divided more time in the oven can only be a good thing. The game has looked great in every gameplay demo so far so even more care put into it on top of that can only be a good thing, right? It's certainly preferable to the alternative, at least.

How DigitalFoundry going to debunk DX12 myth if multiplatform AAA games that use DX12 on X1 keeps getting delay?

ULTp0ltergeist3512d ago (Edited 3512d ago )

Indeed! As an Xbox gamer so many games til' Dues Ex launches.

@Game4next ...whaaa?

Aeery3512d ago (Edited 3512d ago )

DAMN !!!

This is not nice at all.

The new release date is pretty terrible.
I will never, ever play a game like that during the summer ...

freshslicepizza3512d ago

every year more and more games keep getting delayed. this industry has no control at all. it's hilarious.

TheCommentator3512d ago

@moldy

But when they don't get delayed they can end up lacking in features or with glitches. It's a double edged sword.

But it's good that they want to make it even more fantastic instead of rushing it.

Also lots of games coming early next year anyway :)...

Genuine-User3512d ago

Absolutely. It's among my most anticipated for 2016.

RpgSama3512d ago

It is a big delay, but I can see where they're coming with this, I'm all for a better more stable maybe more content complete game, a 6 months delay is plenty of time to get their game complete.

And on a personal note, Deus Ex: Human Revolution was for me one of the better games of the last generation, was really surprised at how good it was, wasn't anticipating that game at all (got it on Ps+), but i'm definitely anticipating this one.

Mikefizzled3512d ago

Square don't went to get stung by the same bee that got Tomb Raider. Overcrowding is a big issue.

Downgrading starts..................Again.

Crimzon3512d ago

I really hope not :( The game looks wonderful and it would be a shame to see it scaled-back like so many others.

TwoForce3512d ago

It's not going happen. But i do understand your fear, i blame Ubisoft for their excuse of Watch Dogs. I can not forget how Downgraded Watch Dogs was.

audiocafe3512d ago

I hope not, but it wouldn't surprise me

barb_wire3512d ago

Was reading over on GAF, that they're using the 'Hitman' engine and things aren't progressing as foreseen, hence the now 6 month delay.

Crimzon3512d ago

That's weird if so, because I would have thought that they'd stick with Unreal Engine. It's bizarre how many franchises have moved away from that, and I have to wonder if it's even worth it.

Dishonored 2 won't be using Unreal Engine like the original game either, the developers for that are jumping over to IDTech 5/6 for the sequel, and I'm paranoid that so many developers jumping over to brand new tech rather than sticking with what they know is only going to cause problems down the line. It's particularly worrisome for me since Dishonored 2 and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided are two of my most anticipated games.

Genuine-User3512d ago

Eidos Montreal annouced back in December last year that they were using their in house engine called Dawn to develop Deus Ex Mankind Divided.

Dawn engine is based on a heavily modified version of IO Interactive’s Glacier 2 engine.

The og deus ex is magical. Im also very exited about mass effect legendary edition from the gp. Its next on my playlist never played mass effect game before.

IamTylerDurden1786d ago (Edited 786d ago )

Never played ME? It's imo the greatest trilogy of all-time and perhaps the best setting outside maybe Fallout. Play it. Great DLC as well. In 2 & 3 at least. Skip Andromeda. Also, Human Revolution was great as well even if OG fans claim otherwise.

shinoff2183786d ago

Mass effect 1 was great. I feel they dumbed down alot on the 2nd one and seemed more action like. Mass effect 1 the citadel was an explorable city. Far as I got in Mass effect 2 it was reduced to a location list no traveling through it. I disliked it alot(the citadel) part. I also feel they went more action oriented then rpg

just_looken786d ago

It always makes me mad when you see something you have done in the first mass effect or dragon age can make something change in the 3rd because bioware make 6 games in what 8 years? that did this but today 0 games do this.

I wish we had trilogies today were we can share saves and have multiple endings/path's on all 3 because of choices from anyone of them.

Its so funny being the bad sheparad from one to 3 then the end having just you and joker ha ha yet everyone is like hey your a hero with a 90% casualty rate.

CBaoth785d ago

Fallout can't hold Mass Effect's jockstrap. The one Fallout even in the ballpark is 3, and that's only because the DLC was extremely good. When Ken Rolston was in Bethesda's employment were they good. That's about it. They're now the world's greatest copy/paste developer out there. Bioware at their pinnacle was ten times better a studio than Todd's team. Go look up the games

IamTylerDurden1785d ago

Mass Effect is my favorite, followed by 2 and 3. Yes, ME2 was dumbed down but also refined in terms of polish and accessibility. ME2 had an awesome story, great DLC, and a solid cast. Mordin in particular. It's a great game. Even 3 which was the weakest was still solid imo despite the ending. If u love ME how do u not enjoy all 3?

Fallout is not a better game though FO3 was great. In terms of setting though Fallout is Mt Rushmore. The 50's post apoc setting was brbrilliant. I still put ME setting n lore above but FO is up there with setting.

Man play mass effect, best games ever

Miraak82 786d ago

Xenogears is my fav sci fi rpg

closed_account785d ago

Right? There's a serious lack of classics on this list.

The original 2 Star Oceans. Rogue Galaxy...

IamTylerDurden1785d ago

Rogue Galaxy never got that critical love. Beautiful PS2 game. Was it L5?

closed_account784d ago

@IamTylerDurden1 Yep, Level5. Love their stuff. Dark Cloud 3 please...

Godmars290786d ago

Why aren't there more? A Star Trek RPG for one. Or something with non humanoid aliens?

shinoff2183786d ago

Cause for some damn reason medieval is more popular ugghhh. I'd take some sci fi sh anyway over it. I've said time and time again I hope the elden guys are working on a sci fi type game.

Godmars290786d ago (Edited 786d ago )

Something non-post apocalypse or dystopian. Just world saving. Fighting bad guys while doing good and dealing with ethical/moral/psychological quandaries.

sadraiden785d ago

The reason why fantasy RPGs, and Fantasy as a genre, are more popular than Sci-Fi, is because of the low technology/high magic tropes. If all of your problems can be solved with looking up the answer on a smartphone, well, there's just lower stakes than if a character has to have a sword fight, and climb the tower, and rescue the fair princess and recite the ancient incantation to seal the evil.

Obviously you can have universe ending stakes in Sci-Fi, but that requires abstract reasoning, and an ability to RP in a way that is progressive instead of regressive. Couple that with Sci-Fi games and media generally being faster paced, and you've got a genre that attracts a very specific demographic of gamers.

just_looken786d ago

or go crazy and make a starship troopers rpg can you survive the bug fight?

The animated show was great showed what someone can do with the lore.

Fist4achin785d ago

A Starship Troopers game as a real time strategy like the command and conquer series would be awesome.

just_looken785d ago

@fist

We have that today but its a small team with a smal budget

Its not a major rts sadly but a start

jznrpg786d ago

I really hope Naughty Dog is doing a Sci-Fi game. As a lover all most things RPG I would love to see Naughty Dog quality in an RPG.

porkChop786d ago

They could do some really great stuff with sci-fi. The sense of grand adventure of Uncharted, but also with the stealth and crafting of The Last of Us. Different planets, creative alien races, collecting junk to craft repairs and upgrades for your ship and weapons, etc.

shinoff2183786d ago

Porkchop

Your getting me excited for something that doesn't exist. Damn

shinoff2183786d ago

He'll yea , hope we here something about that if they are. I'm not to worried about factions at all

just_looken786d ago

If it was the old naughty dog i would want that the new naughty dog no thanks.

IamTylerDurden1785d ago (Edited 785d ago )

TLOU2 is the finest game ND has made. U4 was fantastic. New ND is a more impressive ND. I don't rate Crash n Jak like i do Uncharted and TLOU. Even Uncharted 1 and 3 were not as well crafted as TLOU, TLOU2, U4 imo. Idc if ppl troll TLOU2, most ppl are clueless, that game was incredibly impressive.

TLOU2 combat, visuals, and acting were the best of the genre. I found the story deeper and more profound than most but it's subjective. The level design was excellent also. The score. Audio. Animation. It was a masterpiece to me. The rope physics, detail. TLOU2 deserved Elden Ring scores and ER deserved TLOU2 scores. If any game deserved 97 in recent years it's TLOU2. Best game i ever played and if ppl come with Abby bs i already know it's not worth it. Those who call TLOU2 trash are foolish. Just look at it running...
