Deus Ex: Remastered Announced

And people aren't happy about it.

Honestly, I'm not as harsh on it as some people. That said, it's Aspyr so it probably won't be great. Their Battlefront remasters are notoriously bad, their KOTOR 2 remaster had the promised cut content release canceled post-launch once they already had people's money, and their Neverwinter Nights 2 remaster has all of the game's original issues plus more! Their Stubbs the Zombie remaster was okay, though, but it did lack the entire soundtrack which added to the original game's charm.

I would be curious to see if a Nintendo Switch port is in the works, and if Aspyr plan to release it physically, otherwise I don't think the PS4/PS5 needs it, since the PS2 Classics release is so good just on it's own as an option. On PC, Deus Ex Revision arguably looks better than what is visible in this "remaster" as well.

THERE WILL BE NO MORE NEW GAMES. YOU WILL BUY REMAKES AND REMASTERS OF OLDER GAMES YOU ALREADY LIKE FOR THE REST OF TIME. THIS IS THE FUTURE OF GAMING.

I feel like once you hit 25 years out from a thing, it's ok. Though this hopefully would have the original graphics button like a bunch of other remasters of this sort.

I don't really mind this remaster, but its Aspyr, so expectations are as low as it gets tbh.

clearly Saber Interactive(the studio that actually made Tomb Raider and Soul Reaver remasters) isn't involved here

This game doesn't need a remaster; it needs a worthy sequel.

I'd understand a graphical update- let's face it, the OG has not aged well in quite a few ways- but there doesn't seem to be much of a difference here? The textures are a bit nicer, but everything still looks mushy and the lighting/shadows look too harsh. I guess it's an excuse to port it to new consoles? Which is something someone would want for some reason?

Or another way of saying

Oh.. oh dear.. oh boy.... oh... no.

I guess it's a way for PS5 owners to play the game, but the original often goes on sale for $0.97 on PC. You'd be a fool to pay $20-30 for a remaster when you can get the original for that price and it has plenty of options for updates if you so choose from a Direct X10 renderer to the full GMDX fan remaster
