Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Interview @ Siliconera

Siliconera sits down with Mary DeMarle, Narrative Game Designer, to discuss Dues Ex: Human Revolution. She couldn't go into too much detail without going into spoiler territory. However, what she could tell us sounds excellent. Here is a snippet:

Maybe I’ll ask a broader question. Are there any links to the Deus Ex family tree in Deus Ex: Human Revolution?

 

Yes. I’ll say there are, there is, I don’t want to say there are, there is. [Laughs.]

 

Like I said we created a new story with new characters, but we do give mention, largely for the hardcore fans, they’ll be able to find references to the characters they know in Deus Ex. Those characters are present, but very much in the background. There is a particular character, and maybe you’ve already found him, that is more directly tied to someone’s prodigy who may be important later.
