Deus Ex- The cost of augmenting humanity/reality
Posted: July 21, 2011 Filed under: game studies | Tags: DCRC, games, technology, video Leave a comment »The transmedia-ARG bit of the marketing campaign for the new Deus Ex looks more intriguing than the game itself. There is a beautifully shot, live action mockumentary trailer around that paints a wonderfully scary picture of a business led, augmentation driven world. Very invasive/pervasive, and one of the commenters is the author of a fictional book with the critical, tongue in cheek name of “Augmented Reality”.

The transmedia experience comes with the corporate site with some nice advertising video too.
