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.

hello there! so .. MicroSoft, where's Windows 10?

I looked for a press release from EIDOS and/or Square Enix, can't find one atm, will update this post once I find it

what tressfx?! amd deliberately cripples nvidia!

[Humbug]

Heard that the performance hit in tressfx 3 is a lot less, which is good news for all gamers (nvidia and AMD).

 

Will this be the first PC directX 12 game?

[Kinda Bottlenecked]

Alright AMD, throw in some particle effects feature and it'll be good. 

 

Is Deus EX gonna be open world now that they've showed different LOD effects? Or maybe there will be scenes with hundreds of NPCs.

AAA? Most likely. A more modest title, an indie type of game might launch sooner than DX:MD

[Valentyn]

We've come a long way since this was state of the art.

 

 

I never used TressFX in Tomb Raider, but everything I've seen shows it as better performance wise than Hairworks, and looks better now. I hope it gets some good traction.

 

I would really like if the Witcher 3 could get an update to use TressFX or Hairworks.

Mind you, Nvidia did blame AMD for poor performance with tomb raider, and then fixed it afterwards saying it was their fault... Then in the hairworks scenario, AMD has found a way to use the hairworks by overriding the tesselation to something lower and less demanding... Makes more sense since its apparently a hardware problem that the cards can't perform high tesselation.

I really doubt that this will be a true DirectX 12 game. I assume it may be able to run in DirectX 12, but most likely won't take advantage of all of its features. Though, only time will tell us.

tressfx code is open, nvidia can go through it and see if something is wrong and optimize it.

not really the case of hairworks, so the sarcastic comment is so misplaced.

I say bring it on! I want more options and competition.

 

I want to see the sweat drip of characters' hair after a hard fight, and I want proper newtonian physics to affect it and the sweat. AMD, NV, gimme that without the extra crap in the code that slows down some cards. Make that framebuffer work, cache the extras. Use CUDA, and OpenCL for it all as well.

[Doobeedoo]

Nice to know new DirectX is already getting embraced for new titles. Can't wait for Deus Ex Mankind Divided I love the series

By using Tech that runs on OpenCL and has publicly available source code? OpenCL is support on all NV cards and with source code NV can and has got it working just as good as on AMD hardware.

At the moment Maxwell actually has better OpenCL performance than AMD's offerings, for the first time ever. So TressFX should be brilliant on current cards if NVIDIA get the drivers sorted.

Really? Very nice. I'd imagine the R300 series will address that, but thats good for NV. I'd imagine Apples big push with AMD GPU's driving OpenCL forward is probably a good motivator to sort out poor OpenCL performance.  

[Misanthrope]

I still think my solution is better: radiation victims don't have hair to worry about or hurt performance.

there's also that fable game that should come soon, not sure when it does but i think it will most likely come out first that this

[Bouzoo]

HR is one of my favourite games of this decade, hopefully my 280 can run this game w/o a problem. Have high expectations for this, please don't f it SE.

[sof006]

Am I the only one that finds all these "realistic" hair physics things to look bad?

 

TressFX and Nvidia Hair works looks horrible to me, I turn those features off because I find they look bad. Guess its a plus for me as I get no added performance hit.

[GoodBytes]

I actually read the title in the sense of that they were developer where divided between DirectX 12 and TressFX.

this will be probably the first AAA game , there is also a cool strategy game going Beta this summer

[ACatWithThumbs]

I have the feeling they'll show this off in the PC E3 conference.
This year will be exiting with the first DX12 games coming out.
