I’m testing out making a megathread instead of posting individual trailers. I will update this thread with links to trailers and announcements that will be shown. Watch state of play here. enjoy the show~

That’s a wrap. Wolverine was the final trailer shown. IMO it was a fairly weak show. Not much to show outside of Saros and Wolverine, both of which are coming next year.

Goddamn that Deus Ex remaster is ugly as fuck.

simple@piefed.social on 24 Sep 21:20 next collapse

It looks more like an upscale than a full remaster, but it can definitely look better yea

Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com on 24 Sep 21:29 next collapse

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 it also runs on PS5 with the PS2 version

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a remaster that looks this much worse than the original

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.

yea the PS2 version is bad, but this kinda looks worse lol

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.

Coelacanth@feddit.nu on 24 Sep 22:02 next collapse

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.

The remaster should do more than a fan mod though

ampersandrew@lemmy.world on 25 Sep 16:16 collapse

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.

ampersandrew@lemmy.world on 25 Sep 17:44 collapse

They did redo the models and lighting effects; I can’t speak to the animations.

I’ve never played the original. But the remaster has me tempted. Idk, it looks good to me.

I think the only item that interested me was that I can play Alan Wake 2 next month for “free”.

tuckerm@feddit.online on 25 Sep 00:17 collapse

Bah, I got excited and thought that you meant that it was going to be the Epic Games Store freebie next month. Wishful thinking on my part. :P

Same lol should have guessed that would be too good to be true!
