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
Like a Dr Strange game from the PS2 era.
Paul looks like a vampire lol
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.
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.
And by “new textures” we mean “just run it through a slop machine and don’t even look at it”
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!
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”.
Your comment reminded me of this post.
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.
oooh this looks awful
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.
It’s a shame because their original Tomb Raider trilogy remaster was really good.
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.
Huh, I didn’t know about this. Thanks for mentioning it!
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.
Wow, now it only looks 20 years old
Nope… The original game still works well… There is no need for this… And I don’t trust who is making this
Aspyr :(
I honestly think they made it look worse than the original.
