Comment on PlayStation State of Play (Sept. 24, 2025) | MEGATHREAD
Coelacanth@feddit.nu 4 weeks agoA 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

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 mean, some production value beyond upscaling would be a start. Deus Ex isn’t some forgotten brand, it definitely warrants something like the System Shock remakes. High poly models, remastered animations, and modern lighting effects would be a reason to actually purchase this over the original.

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.
