One of the few criticisms of the vids shown of the upcoming Deus Ex Human Revolution was that the highlighting of objects over-simplified the game and broke immersion. Well, the devs have listened to the feedback and now made it completely optional:

"In case you're interested... ;) Be sure to watch the entire video for information regarding the highlighting, difficulty levels, and more. Also, we'd love to have you join the discussion regarding highlighting on our message board:

I have to say, even though it's only a small addition, good on them. Even though they disagree, they've listened to the fanbase and implemented it before release.
If only more devs would listen to their fanbase... *cough* Bioware *cough* Dragon Age II.
