This is Deus Ex Remastered – the definitive version of Ion Storm’s legendary cyberpunk immersive sim, modernized with visual upgrades, modern enhancements, a...
If they’d released this in 2006 I might have thought it was an improvement, but in 2025 if I’m going to play something that looks like ass I’m at least going to play the original.
I still think the original actually looks great, in a way. It’s so low-poly it transcends into a sort of retro-futurism. Who needs spheres when a dodecahedron already looks totally techno? Gunther’s face looks so angular you could cut glass with it? Well of course, he’s basically a robot!
Yeah I don’t disagree. The artistic direction is appropriate to the limitations of the time, as opposed to a few recent remakes like this one where the artistic direction consists only of “add more polygons and get it shipped”
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.
In the olden days added support for newer machines would be called one of Releases, Reissues, or Updates, but not Remasters.
I don’t have a problem with old games being released on new platforms, but I’m not going to say nice things about low effort crap being marketed as a modern “Remaster”.
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.
*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.
Oh wow, they made the 2000 video game look like a 2006 video game!

It doesn’t make it a little bit better looking though, that’s the point everyone’s making.

How does Deus Ex run on the PS5?
I can, because I’ve rest the rest of the comments, both here and on that YouTube trailer. They’re all saying the same things. You’re basically on your own here. (EDIT: lol and all these people: https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/everyone-thinks-the-deus-ex-remaster-looks-awful-and-theyre-right-they-really-turned-those-1999-graphics-into-2003-graphics/ )

To be fair the 2000 video did not look like a 2000 video game. As much as I loved it, it was ugly.
lol, I read this before I watched the trailer and it’s spot on
Your comment reminded me of this post.

It’s a Remaster. That’s to be expected.
