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).

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.

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

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.

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.

I hope they keep the voice acting from the Hong Kong levels

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

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.

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

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.

Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics'
JC Denton now in scintillating Unreal Engine 2.

And by “new textures” we mean “just run it through a slop machine and don’t even look at it”

It’s a shame because their original Tomb Raider trilogy remaster was really good.

Wow, now it only looks 20 years old

Oh wow, they made the 2000 video game look like a 2006 video game!
Your comment reminded me of this post.
