2007 Deus Ex 3 Trailer

Analysis
The trailer depicts something what appears to be an augmented fetus - the skin looks plastic, it has joints and sockets for extensions. We can clearly see barcodes and a print "HUMANI CORPORIS FABRICA //EMILE//".

Narrator recites: "For centuries man has struggled to understand his true nature. What is it that makes us who we are? Soon one answer will override all others."

Afterwards, the camera flies into one of the sockets in nape of the fetus and a series of 27 images briefly flashes on the screen. The entire sequence takes 1.72 second.
