Deus Ex is Hor+ w/ Centered HUD (video proof from AMD Tech Day 2010)

Submitted by skipclarke on 8 November, 2010 - 06:00

Our final video from the AMD Tech Day 2010 is second video of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. This video was shot on the show floor, and is of live gameplay footage (not a demo real or movie). It shows proof of a properly centered HUD and menus, and what appears to be Hor+ support.

Very good to see a high-profile game with console ties get proper multi-monitor support on PC.

Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim

Submitted by Anonymous on 4 November, 2010 - 02:55

Another 3D "russian revival" of a 2D cult classic, Majesty 2 is a fast-paced RTS featuring indirect control over units: you place gold-ladden flags for heroes to pick up and attack/defend a target or explore/avoid an area. Core gameplay is simple and fast, but plan your building wisely, because enemies are everywhere and your tax collectors are frail creatures. Balance is not the game's forte and difficulty is a bit punishing at times, but resource files are pretty easy to cheat-mod...

007: Blood Stone

Another attempt to better the N64 classic, Goldeneye, which despite providing a varied gameplay selection still manages to fall slightly flat. Cover based mechanics for the third-person sections make the game feel like it took a lot of inspiration from Gears of War, while driving sections show the developers pedigree from Project Gotham Racing.
