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

Goddamn that Deus Ex remaster is ugly as fuck.

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.

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.

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.

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

The remaster should do more than a fan mod though
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 4 weeks 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.
