you are speaking like that is fact rather than opinion. what would make it “useful” for you though? i understand not caring for remasters personally but that is a pretty insane blanket statement to me.
the original is 25 fucking years old now, this brings the game to an entire new generation, new consoles, etc. and provides those with nostalgia to relive what they remember. if you think the OG deus ex looks good in the slightest you are way too deep in nostalgia. no depth, no shadows, and barely any contrast though 🔥
i mean no one has even tried it yet, how in the hell can you say its bad already?

nice, very genuine and thought provoking response. i am just trying to understand and no one has given a good explanation in my opinion. seriously i love how every response is just dodging absolutely everything i say.
any actual thoughts or are you just angry and need something to be pissy about?

Okay, my actual thoughts are thus: The original game looked bad. I don’t think there’s any denying that. But: at least it was consistent, and it had a style to it that it kept hold of throughout. There was a real opportunity to properly overhaul Deus Ex with the remaster, but they’ve instead settled for Xbox 360-era models, while keeping the stiff animations from the original, and throwing ridiculous amounts of harsh lighting and bloom around. It doesn’t look like Deus Ex any more. What they should’ve done is taken some cues from Human Revolution and used that to inform the design. (Hot take maybe)

I’ll reply to you because seems you really care about it, and also because many players have your same position: No, a game doesn’t looks bad just because it’s old, like all the masterpieces ( and I’m not referring to Deus Ex in particular). Many players wrongly think everything needs to be updated to modern aesthetics, but you do not want to touch a great game just for that, that’s a commercial reason only. Real remastereds should just put a crt-shader on top of the game, in most cases.

i think the textures in the original deus ex look like ass and are so flat. the style is not good at all in my opinion. i think plenty of old games and lots of pixel art looks great but that shit looks terrible. it had a great story and decent gameplay.
that is your opinion about remasters, but in reality a large majority would be pissed if they just threw a CRT shader on. thats lazy as fuck.
big assumptions youre making there.
