Edit: Since there's a new, longer draft of the video, I made this one private for now! Please check out the new one!
Hey folks!
Here's the first 45 minutes of the Deus Ex: Human Revolution video. This video is threatening to become far too long so I'm glad to start getting eyes on the early parts so I don't lose sight of if it's working or not. I'm still messing with the pacing and moving whole segments around, and I cut about an hour's worth of material out that's going to go into a separate video I've decided to release later. The Director's Cut of DX:HR is uniquely weird and deserves its own dedicated analysis.
Let me know what you think of the pacing of this one. I really want to ground my analysis in the conditions that produced the game, instead of just saying 'I think thing X was good or bad'. I'm still fiddling around with this one so feel free to make any notes. I haven't added music for some of this yet since I'm doing so much re-editing it gets sliced up anyway.
The amount of work that's going to end up on the cutting room floor for this one is embarrassing. I wrote detailed sections about the PS2 version of the original Deus Ex, the Wii U version of HR, Project Snowblind, the Deus Ex game that wasn't, a lukewarm defense of Invisible War, the aforementioned director's cut stuff, and that 15 minutes about the mirrors I already removed and made into a bonus video. When I'm closer to finished with this video, I can see if I can make anything interesting with all the pieces I cut.
Thanks for being so patient with this one! This is the last absurdly long video that takes ages to make. I hope
