http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-03-20-deus-ex-human-revolution-directors-cut-for-wii-u-confirmed-and-yes-theyve-fixed-the-boss-battles

The Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut is real and, yes, the people behind it have fixed the boss battles.

The game is due out exclusively on Wii U (for now - more on that later) soon, although US shop Amazon has it down for 7th May, and it includes a raft of improvements, changes and additional features developer Eidos Montreal hopes will convince those who played Deus Ex when it came out in 2011 for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 to fork out their hard-earned cash once again.

I think this ridiculouse re-release is aimed specifically at me

I bought this at launch loved it until the first boss battle... that pissd me off to such an extent I traded the game in. I am quite intolerant of games that piss me off :)

So erm yeah if they have fixed the boss battles int he way they describe I might finally get to play the game :)

Out exclusively full price for Wii U for now - followed quickly by a budget release for the other platforms to guarantee that the Wii U version sells fuck all.

I never said I'd pay full price for the re-release ;) I already paid full price once :)

I just had a go on Tank! Tank! Tank! It's a bit like a rubbish version of EDF. I thought for a second that maybe it might be a kind of good version of EDF, but it isn't.

Direct hit! Direct hit! Direct hit! Direct hit!

My wee boy likes it because its dead easy to control and be gets to take a picture of his face with a pirate hat on

Wonder if fixed means removed? As I bet you still can't do them just using stealth, like the rest of the bloody game.

Yes, you can.

-Each of the game's three boss fights have had their map layouts reworked to provide players with alternative potential strategies. New hacking challenges are available to players who focus on hacking, and stealth options are available to those who focus on stealth. You can now kill the bosses without firing a single bullet

-On Wii U the energy system has been made more forgiving by allowing for two energy cells to recharge by default on all but the hardest difficulty. This should mean players use Jensen's augmentation powers more freely.--So now, on Wii U, you can use the GamePad to see enemy health, armour type (heavy, medium or light) and loot. The idea is this will let players plan their moves better; by checking loot you'll be able to identify a target who is carrying a pocket secretary, which may contain the code for a locked door you're after, or decide not to go into a room because it's packed with heavies with loads of hit points.

-You can also use the GamePad to navigate the menus, to display the map, the augmentation system, the inventory and all the rest. "All the systems are now linked to the Neural Hub," Dugas continues. "All your maps, your inventory, your augmentation menu, your mission log, are now systems in Adam Jensen.

-There are swipe controls, too. One new feature, called grenade throwback, allows Jensen to equip a proximity detector that alerts him to a nearby grenade. So, if an enemy chucks a grenade at you, the GamePad will vibrate, and you can swipe the touch-screen to pick it up and lob it back.

-You can also use the touch-screen for the hacking mini-game, using your fingers to progress, and to punch in codes. Meanwhile, for weapons that have a scope, such as the sniper rifle, you can use your telly to centre on your target, then enter a precision mode using the touch-screen, which displays the cross-hair.

-Included in this "ultimate package" is all of the DLC, but it has been retrofitted to slot seamlessly into the main game. The Missing Link DLC is now included in the main story rather than separated out, and the pre-order bonus mission to rescue Tong's son is popped in, too.

-There's Half-Life 2-style director's commentary, what amounts to some eight hours of chat from Eidos Montreal developers. Icons dotted around the world can activate this voice over, and you're free to continue playing as you listen.

Shopto did the business and Need For Speed arrived today. Had about an hour on it, and so far, very, very impressive!

Graphics are raw dropping, textures are really sharp, frame rate is a rock solid 30fps, lighting is great, dust and particle effects are really good too. On the gamepad it looks the business too... had loads of cops chasing me at one point with no slow down...

I tried the gamepad using the sticks at first, seemed mega-resposive, then tried the pro-pad which was great (good strong rumble too). The father/son mode works really well, with nice day to night cycle. Then I noticed motion control as an option for the game pad, which works great - at least as good as the pro wheel xbox add-on... might play the whole game this way.

Other quick points -

Loading times were pretty quick. There is a update on first play. Voice chat via the gamepad is an option.

Looks like loads of content too.

Overall, looks like a really good purchase.

Let me know if you folks want to race online...

Do you have to sign up to Origin to play online?

You can buuy 18 rated stuff whenever you want on the eshop now, as they've finally remembered that their console has parental controls powerful enough to appease the german authorities

Only Nintendo could make such a ridiculous cock up to start with. Anyone else would have flouted what they perceived to be a ridiculous problem unless a serious complaint was raised.

Yep. I declined.

Wish I hadn't bought this. It's exactly the same game as Burnout Paradise except the controls feel off. I just zig-zag about crashing all the time. I'm not a massive fan of Burnout Paradise (hate the drive-to-event concept) but I did enjoy bombing about the city.

Yep, but it only asked for a username, no email of ID.... must be linked to my Wii-U account. Online play so far has been smooth and problem free. Good bunch of Brits nattering away. The voice comms using the gamepad seem really clear! Still loving the game BTW...
