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?

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.

Cool, never heard of Surreal 98 before, thanks for mentioning it!

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.

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.

Yeeeah, this is gonna be why Civvie11 covers Deus Ex.

Looks weird AF.

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

Aspyr

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 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.
