Live-action video game trailers are normally a bit rubbish, but this one is surprisingly effective. You get a good sense of how the technology has developed, why so many people have embraced it, and a hint of the "madness" that gripped people during the pivotal "aug incident." Whether you're a longtime Deus Ex fan or a franchise beginner, it's enough to give you the gist of hero Adam Jensen's situation. An augmented individual himself, he works both for Interpol and a hacker group in order to find "Illuminati," the people responsible for the lethal malfunctions.

The game is set to land on August 23rd.
