Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Coming to the Mac soon

By | September 12, 2011, 5:51am PDT

Summary: “Deus Ex: Human Revolution” - headed to the Mac.

“Mac” and “gaming” used to be two words that you rarely saw next to one another, but as Macs increase in popularity, game developers are seeing them as a platform worth developing for. One of the big games of 2011 for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 has been ”Deus Ex: Human Revolution” - and it’s now headed to the Mac.

This news in from Feral Interactive:

Deus Ex: Human Revolution will be released in Winter 2011/12, and the Feral minisite will be fully enhanced at the end of October 2011. The Feral surgeons are still fine-tuning the game’s cybernetic upgrades, but we’ll send out a transmission as soon as the robotic limbs are working properly and a definite release date is in sight.

Pricing and system requirements will be released later this year.

Has the Mac finally become a proper gaming platform, or does it still lag behind the PC and consoles?

    "Has the Mac finally become a proper gaming platform, or does it still lag behind the PC and consoles?"

    I don't think it'll ever catch up, but I do think it'll get more popular. Plus, I feel like most gamers who buy Macs dual-boot Windows anyway.

  • RE: Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Coming to the Mac soon
    I used to play the occasional game on my Mac but never considered myself a "gamer". Every Mac user since the 90's is aware of the the disparity between the Mac and PC when it comes to available game titles. (although most major titles eventually migrated to the Mac at some later time)

    But at some point half a decade or so ago I broke down and bought a console and never thought about gaming on a computer again. Why play hunched over a keyboard when you can relax on the sofa with a wireless controller and a big screen TV?
