Get An Inside Look at Loot Crate’s September Gaming Crate!

by jake108September 12, 2016

We’re back with Loot Crate’s latest gaming crate! If you’re just excited as we are to see just what’s inside, you’re in the right place! Let’s get started:

First up on the list is a very cool Claptrap bottle opener. The bottle opener is brushed in chrome silver and has some weight to it. It’s much prettier in person. I promise.

Second item in the crate is another Loot Crate exclusive. This Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Adam Jensen Figure is not only a mouthful, but is also a pretty neat exclusive for any Deus Ex fans out there. The figure also features a special QR code at the base!

Next up is a home run for all the Destiny fans out there. This Loot Crate exclusive t-shirt features a Hunter, Titan, and a Warlock. The shirt is 100% cotton and is perfect to wear during a 10-hour raid with your inexperienced friends who desperately want in on all the raid action.

Hey! Did you hear Cliffy B is working on a new game? Well now you do! Loot Crate is helping spread the word about Cliffy’s new game, Lawbreakers. This crate features a snapback hat made of twill and sports black and red.

One of my favorite items in this month’s crate is this Bioshock patch, featuring – you guessed it! A Big Daddy! Now, aside from the fact that it’s a Big Daddy, the fact that the Big Daddy’s eyes were made using glow in the dark thread makes this patch even more awesome. Not all that great at sewing? Don’t worry! It’s an iron-on patch for all you novices out there! (For the record, I’m still too scared to apply it.)

Last, but certainly not least, is the Mecha Pin. This pin is meant to represent “the moments when our sum was greater than our parts. It features a single hand, split into two. One half is machine, while the other is human. It is made of hand-polished iron, is 2 inches thick, and has a 1.25 diameter.

Check Out The Latest Gameplay Demo Of ‘Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’

by Shane O'HareJune 10, 2016

The latest in the Deus Ex series is really shaping up to blow the franchise out of the water.

The recent live action announcement trailer really invoked some powerful feelings. Reminiscent of the first two shorts from The Animatrix.

One of the devs from the upcoming Mankind Divided walks us through the newest element of the game, the city hub. The launching point of missions, interacting with NPC’s and character building. Check it out below.

Get your first glimpse at the city-hub of Prague in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, an expansive and dense location which will allow players to meet a variety of characters, take on side-quests, and explore indoor and outdoor areas. For the purpose of this demo, we activated infinite life, energy, and ammo.
In this section of the game, set in the poor district of the city, Adam Jensen wakes up after being caught in a devastating attack, allegedly perpetrated by augmented extremists, which is causing his augs to malfunction. He needs to see Vaclav Koller, an underground augmentation specialist, so that he can have a look at them and help him get back into shape.

I’m really excited for this iteration of the series. The segregation theme between augmented citizens and normal humans is one I find particularly fascinating.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided hits store shelves August 23rd on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

‘Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’ Has Been… You Guessed It, Delayed!

by Derek KraneveldtNovember 18, 2015

Briefly: Pretty much every time a huge game release gets delayed (which I believe is more often than not at this point), I ask myself why games even have release dates these days.

I sure hope that Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst’s delay wasn’t intended to get it out of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided‘s way, as the highly anticipated title (with the controversial pre-order campaign) has just been pushed back further into 2016.

Eidos-Montreal Head of Studio David Anfossi announced the ‘no compromise on quality’ delay today. Here’s the full statement:

As you may have already seen by reading and watching the many previews for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, our aim is for it to be a worthy successor to Human Revolution, and to improve upon that game in every way possible. I know that expectations are extremely high, and we not only want to meet those expectations, but exceed them.

We’re confident and proud of the game so far. However, as we are now playing through the game in full we can see that it will require more time in post-production for tuning, iterations, and refinement to meet our high standards. In order to achieve this, we need to move the release of the game to August 23rd, 2016.

We are sorry to disappoint you with this news, and also thank you for all of your support and comments. This game is a huge part of our lives, and we don’t want to compromise on its quality.

So please be patient with us a little longer, and thanks as always for your passion and support – through thick and thin. It’s a huge responsibility to work on Deus Ex Mankind Divided – we know, but also a huge privilege. We’re determined to deliver the best game we can.

The game was originally set to release along with Ubisoft’s Far Cry: Primal on February 23rd. This marks an entire half-year push, which should give the team plenty of time to polish the game, as well as another E3 to build even more astronomical hype for it.

I’m a huge Deus Ex fan, and I just want the game to be as good as it can be. If that means playing it six months later, so be it (though again, it feels like these release dates are never hit).

Watch The Gorgeous Announcement Trailer For ‘Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’

by Derek KraneveldtApril 9, 2015

Briefly: After a timely leak yesterday, Square-Enix has officially revealed the next game in the Deus Ex series, titled Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

The game is set two years after the events of Human Revolution, and is set to release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC (though it’s still without a release date, which is far preferable to it simply being delayed).

According to Square-Enix, the game’s plot is as follows:

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided takes place in 2029, two years after the events of Human Revolution and the infamous ‘Aug Incident’ in Panchaea that resulted in the death of millions at the hands of those who had installed augmentations. This event has created a huge divide between those who have augmentations, and those who do not. Amongst this emotional turmoil are various factions looking to manipulate the public by twisting public opinion of augmentation to further their own agenda and hide the truth of what really happened.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided also continues the story of Adam Jensen, a former biotech company security chief turned super-augmented, anti-terrorist agent playing by his own rules. Jensen has been empowered with all new augmentations, enabling him and the player a greater sense of self-control as they explore all new locations in-game. As social and political tensions reach a major turning point, Jensen and conspiracies surrounding the Illuminati continue toward an inevitable crossroads … and possibly, an epic showdown.

I was a huge fan of Human Revolution, and Deus Ex before it (Invisible War… not so much), so you better believe I’m excited to learn more about Mankind Divided. The just-released announcement trailer looks cool, but it does little to excite me. It’s entirely CGI, and if the series’ last game is any indication, the game likely won’t look like this.

Square-Enix also notes that “Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will also mark a new era in Eidos-Montréal’s technology, utilizing the advanced visual and immersive capabilities of the Dawn Engine™, specifically built for the recent generation of consoles and PC. Under the umbrella of the Gaming Evolved program, AMD and Eidos-Montréal have been collaborating on Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and the game will feature Microsoft’s DirectX® 12 support as well as AMD’s TressFX™. These features will not only raise the bar in game performance but bring unrivalled visual fidelity to the Deus Ex franchise.”

So, it’ll be very pretty. But I still doubt it’ll be as pretty as this trailer is. Take a look below, and let us know what you think!
