    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

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

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

        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.

        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.

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

            I honestly think they made it look worse than 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!

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

                Pre order today

                Oh.

                That’s a commercial remake.

                Oof.

                    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”

                          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?

                            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.

                              To be fair the 2000 video did not look like a 2000 video game. As much as I loved it, it was ugly.

                                  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 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.

                                    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.
