Oh wow, they made the 2000 video game look like a 2006 video game!
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.
It doesn’t make it a little bit better looking though, that’s the point everyone’s making.
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?
But you can’t speak for everyone and say that’s the point of everyone.
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/ )
How does Deus Ex run on the PS5?
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.
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.
Man, I’m always glad if the Deus Ex franchise gets some attention but this really doesn’t convince me at all. It just looks like one of those bad HD mods many games had in the early 2010s and it totally kills the aesthetic style the game had. DE1 is deserving of a Remake, not a soulless reskin.
Deus Ex Revision is already the most faithful remaster IMO.
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.
It’s a shame because their original Tomb Raider trilogy remaster was really good.
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’ve got a sneaking suspicion that at least a few opportunists in the industry are selling a shit AI remastering tool to studios with IP to monetize.
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.
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
Paul looks like a vampire lol
Like a Dr Strange game from the PS2 era.
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
Cool, never heard of Surreal 98 before, thanks for mentioning it!
oooh this looks awful
Aspyr :(
What a shame. It was a good game… What a rotten way to die.
lip smack
The original had character, but this “remastered” has no soul.
