You don’t play OG deus ex for the graphics or… Combat tbh, but this seems like a half ass coat of paint instead of anything of real substance. You can already play Deus ex on modern hardware so I don’t know what you’re really getting here.

idk all the og graphics look pretty dog ass as someone who didnt play the original, just from the reference they used it looks significantly better. more depth, texture, resolution, shadows, reflections, and contrast. i dont really see it being too “shiny” it just looks like there is now light lmao.
seriously though that original character looks awful and kinda terrifying. what games can you not play on modern hardware though? what more would you want from it?

you can barely see anything in the original and the textures are in like 240p, also the graphic mod they say is better has people complaining about it being dead and incomplete.

I’m sorry, I genuinely don’t understand what you’re saying.
I agree the graphics and even the gameplay aren’t amazing, but it’s the story and world building that make this game a classic.
If you’re excited about the remake, that’s cool with me, I think it’s a game everyone should try.

i am asking why you think you get nothing from this, or how it is a poor product just because you can play the original still. i also dont understand the “half ass coat of paint” everyone is referencing. i explained everything pretty thouroughly i feel like.
the main thing is i just do not understand all of the hate and cynicism, especially since its not even out yet lmao. they are literally overhauling the graphics and QOL which it the main barrier to entry.
