Oh wow, they made the 2000 video game look like a 2006 video game!

    The point is to invest minimal money and efforts, because this is not a mainstream game. Its a Remaster to make it a little bit better looking, update controls and other background technology to run on modern operating systems and hardware. And really, that's okay. If the price is okay, off course.

    If you like or do not like the new look, that's your right to decide off course. But you can't speak for everyone and say that's the point of everyone. My point btw was that its normal a Remaster is not improved too much, as that's what a Remaster is. Although I think it is improved here, but that's not my main point. My main point is that all the other things are improved and made compatible with current generation, including current gen features for controls and maybe trophies, and other stuff. A Remaster is not just about the textures and resolution.

    How does Deus Ex run on the PS5?

    What you talking about? Just because you read comments, does not mean others didn't read comments? After watching YouTube comments and looking into others comments, its like with any other Remaster release. People are divided and you personally have a tunnel effect with an echo and you can't see outside of it, because you don't want to hear and remember anything else than your own opinion.

    No, this looks like a cool new Remaster. They update it to current gen, update slightly the looks, they do what a Remaster have to be. The only problem would be, if the price is too high, I don't know what it costs. And we need to see the actual release before judging if its a low effort or not.

    The peak of our civilization

    *Most of it actually looks better, not that I've gamed much recently. It's that first swipe on the character that looks comical. The actual swipes on the gameplay look much better.

    I came in hyped, thinking this was going to be another Nightdive remaster

    Then the trailer was ugly as all get out

    And that’s when I noticed… Aspyr. Ew.

    I was hyped as hell when I saw this, only for the comments to skewer it before I even had a chance to see the video. I'll remain cautiously optimistic this will shock the company into stepping up their efforts to do this classic the dignity it deserves.

    Urgh.

    The remake looks shit, stop rehashing things lazily in a poor attempt to cash in.

    Part of the magic of these games is because the graphics aren't that great and, the story and gameplay make up for it.

    Like the first half life por examplo

    I honestly think they made it look worse than the original.

    Which is saying something.

    Unreal 1 games are consistently fugly in ways that are difficult to place. Their design can be great - but the rendering, bluh. There's just enough specularity and fake reflections to remind you most textures are chalk-flat. Detail noise improves big blurry texels, but your brain feels that band-gap between high and low frequency. Character animation, especially faces, feel very... Hanna-Barbara. There's just enough physics for you to understand why Half-Life 2 blew people's dicks off.

    Basically, the engine has all the idiosyncrasies of a 1990s console. You know at a glance. And this PS2-ass parody of a mid-2000s HD remaster manages to feel more dated.

  • For the record I always thought the 3dfx glide render looked the best, d3d and open gl were kinda a bit blurry. I think these days it shows it up even more as not being a d3d first engine. I think Deus ex probably suffered from the same fortune.

    There was more footage shown in the PS State of Play presentation and it looks… dire. Genuinely worse than the original game IMO.

    Just look at this updated UNATCO notice board:

    STRATIGIES

    The whole thing smacks of exec-fuelled ‘just slap some new textures on it and ship it’ attitude.

    Oh, so like a fan-made HD mod. Stretching Unreal 1 to its limits.

    Pre order today

    Oh.

    That's a commercial remake.

    Oof.

    If you're on pc you're better off using the original and surreal 98 to play in UE 5 with modern textures lighting and vr support less than $20

    This looks like it's the exact same game untouched except that the textures have been AI upscaled or something.

    Like holy shit, look at Paul he looks so dogshit compared to the original

    This reminds me of the San Andreas remaster, where they unintentionally made the nut of a bolt into a circle, because they just let some program smooth out all the polygons.

    Nope.... The original game still works well.... There is no need for this.... And I don't trust who is making this

    Okay... That doesn't exactly look great...

    How do you make Deus Ex The Invisible War look good?

    Have Aspyr remaster Deus Ex.

    Can't wait to see LRG try to sell a $150 boxed copy of this with no CD in it.

    oooh this looks awful

    Doesn't look impressive.

    I am assuming adding console support will require some changes to the game (I for one like the "janky" combat and dislike overly polished modern combat styles).

    The original had character, but this "remastered" has no soul.

    minimum specs are low, so I would guess they have a toggle for original graphics

    Minimum:

    Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

    OS: Windows 10+

    Processor: Intel i3 / AMD FX-4100

    Memory: 4 GB RAM

    Graphics: GeForce GT 620 1gb / Radeon HD 8670D

    Storage: 20 GB available space

    What a shame. It was a good game... What a rotten way to die.
