A remaster like this is pointless in the first place, it’s not meaningfully doing anything to make people play it who wouldn’t otherwise. A proper Nightdive-style remake is what the game deserves.

Goddamn that Deus Ex remaster is ugly as fuck.

Controls improvements alone are low-hanging fruit for Deus Ex.

The remaster should do more than a fan mod though
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 6 months ago
The fan mods aren’t exactly accessible to PlayStation players. What would you want to see in a Deus Ex remaster that a mod couldn’t do? Mods are capable of a great deal, but there’s a lot of value to having things preconfigured to modern standards out of the box.

I guess that’s probably fair. I never had huge issues with them but it’s been a hot minute since I last played through.

it’s SO bad, I don’t see any reason for it to exist when the game already plays great on PC (with the Vanilla Fixer), and on PS5 with the PS2 version
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 6 months ago
The PS2 version is surely severely compromised compared to the PC version. Even the sequel designed with the Xbox in mind had to cut back on a lot of things to make it fit on a more powerful console.

yea the PS2 version is bad, but this kinda looks worse lol

It looks more like an upscale than a full remaster, but it can definitely look better yea

I’ve never played the original. But the remaster has me tempted. Idk, it looks good to me.
