Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut coming to Wii U

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut coming to Wii U

Last year Straight Right - the Australian developers responsible for the excellent Wii U port of Mass Effect 3 - explained that they were working on two additional titles for the system. One was their own IP and the other was a big name we would learn more about closer to launch.




And now we know - it was Deus Ex: Human Revolution. As learned by Eurogamer the Director's Cut of Human Revolution will feature a variety of balances and reworking - and most importantly, this includes the boss fights.

Boss fights are now capable of being handled (non-lethal options are still unavailable as they can't change the story) in a variety of ways, instead of the single run and gun tactic of the original battles. Other fixes which have made their way to the Director's Cut include a revamped energy system, smoother graphics and better AI.

Naturally, being a Wii U game means the GamePad is now supported and there are different ways you can use it, like radar and the Neural Hub - which allows you to assess enemy positions and strength and find important objects. All in all, it sounds pretty excellent - these kinds of improvements make the game worth getting again. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

My WiiU is a $300 dust collector. Bring on the first party games. No way i'd pick this up for WiiU when I could play it in 3d surround on pc.

Pointless... They would get more sales re-releasing this on the 360/PS3/PC.. Games such as AC3/ME3/Darksiders 2/Batman AC etc etc sold very poorly on the WiiU, this will be no different..

It would be awesome if the new features could be added to the PC version etc, but I really like the looks of the GamePad support. And better boss fights are almost worth the price alone :/

The last boss battle was just me pressing the button for that cyclone thing that shoots explosives out of you a couple times... It was less then epic, now that you point it out.

First time I beat the final boss by using the puzzle solution.

Second time I just shot the person in the machine with the laser that penetrates cover.
