Day one

 

[Senua]

The remastering looks terrible, but if they have a toggle for the models at least it'll be fine

 

[NuclearDiarrhea]

Holy fuck

 

[GHG]

Aspyr are off to a great start:

The people looked bad.

 

[Guilty_AI]

 

[Killer8]

Actually embarrassing how bad this looks. And after they did a great job on the Tomb Raider trilogies.

 

[lastmessiah]

some…questionable decisions on this graphical remaster.

 

[StereoVsn]

I love the game, one of my GoATs, but the Remaster looks off.

 

[LordBritish]

ehhhhh

 

[Hero_Select]

Wow. Those character models are god awful.

This is on track for Aspyr though.

Tomb Raider Remaster and KOTOR 1 Switch version were fine. Aspyr is just inconsistent AF.

 

[Ristifer]

Aspyr is a dogshit outfit.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Got excited that this was human revolution for a second since the PS2 version of this game released on PS recently so I wasn't expecting this. Then looking at the state of the remaster, no thanks. Also I still remember how trash the Star Wars battlefront remaster was.

 

[Stitch]

Tomb Raider was mostly done by a modder who was already working on remasters for a while

 

[Burger]

Looks like absolute dog shit.

 

[Saber]

What about Human Revolution? This is the one I'm looking for.

edit: Aren't these guys the same behind SW relaunch games? I'm fucking out.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I think I'm good, that PS2 version I've finished recently wasn't actually that much worse than what I remember from PC and I liked the OG visuals (and character models).

 

[ProtoByte]

Not looking good at all.

They bothered to change the cover art and didn't even match the character model.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

There's been fan patches for years to upgrade the assets and it looks better than whatever this is

That's a pretty big claim. You got a single fact to back that up?

 

[Senua]

I didn't claim jack shit

 

[stn]

I didn't claim jack shit

I'm with UNATCO, start talking.

 

[mèx]

Just mod the PC version. This looks awful, holy shit.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Maybe you should think about going back to school.

 

[ZehDon]

Deus Ex is my favourite game of all time. And this "remastering" looks like dog shit.

*sigh*

It's not a PS exclusive, at least, so we can all suffer together.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Having only played HR, I really want to play the original.
Games gotta be good if its GOAT list of so many people.

 

[stn]

You've got ten seconds to beat it before I add you to the list of NSF casualties.

Bravery is not a function of firepower

 

[FeastYoEyes]

Damn was hoping Nightdive would get this one.

 

[Dazraell]

Tomb Raider Remaster and KOTOR 1 Switch version were fine. Aspyr is just inconsistent AF.

Tomb Raider Remastered was primarily made by Saber and modders from TR modding community

 

[Zuzu]

It should've been given to Nightdive

This might harm its legacy

 

[March Climber]

The most important part of this reveal were the changes to make console controls more viable.

The most confusing part of this reveal is that Sony had recently released the PS2 version with worse controls.

 

[Juza]

 

[StereoVsn]

It's great but I am not sure I would recommend it for a first play through.

It's super annoying that this great game has essentially gone to the lowest bidder. I would have much rather seen Nightdive do this one .

I am pretty sure that floor in that big red room with the hand has realtime planar reflections in the original. in their remaster it looks like they removed the reflections and just have some specular sheen

don't tell me they did that across the board... because the planar reflections were one of the key visual showpieces of the original. it was even used as a game mechanic in select moments (let you look around corners)

given how most modern games seems to be allergic to planar reflections, I am worried.

 

[ZehDon]

Aspyr are off to a great start:

Holy fuck, just tried their site and ran into this. This is just embarrassing. I hope whoever gave these clowns Deus Ex have their favourite books adapted into a shitty TV show by fucking Amazon.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

It may look like poop but I've never played the original so...

Day 1 I guess?

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

I missed the boat on this. I tried to play the OG on pc but felt clunky. Will give it a shot if it's remastered.

 

[roosnam1980]

day 1

 

[RoadHazard]

This looks like shit. Yeah, it's a remaster of a very dated game, but the changes they've made look awful. Why are all the characters shiny?

 

[KenaiPhoenix]

"We are remastering Deus Ex.."

WOOOOWWW YE-

"... with the help of Aspyr"

OH NOOOOOOOOO


Well, if they release a physical version i might give it a try. It honestly looks terrible, hopefully there is a toggle or something.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Aspyr deserves a bigger IP. Something like Star Wars.

Great pickup. Really does look like they've stripped out the reflections from that scene - which means it, along with every other scene that uses it (like UNATCO lobby), will actually look even worse than the original game. I shudder to think they'll stuff SSR in it's place...

For their TR remastered, Aspyr actually used the original source code and updated the engine for modern machines. They brought in fans from the Open Lara project to assist, and let them assemble a crack team of preservationists, to ensure they represented the games as faithful as possible. That showed that Aspyr was at least trying to produce good remasters, even if they fall well short of Night Dive's heroic outputs.
Here for Deus Ex, it's clearly fucked from the first frame of the remaster in the trailer, so I'm guessing there's issues somewhere in the pipeline that's limiting what they can do. The original Deus Ex used a slightly modified UE1 - I wonder if they ran into license bullshit that maybe limited them here? Or maybe I'm just trying to rationalise someone butchering my favourite game.

 

[JayK47]

Very lazy remaster. Makes Oblivion look master class. If it is $20 though, maybe.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Can't see it on Steam

 

[The_Mike]

All the charm of the original game has been killed with this remaster

 

[Buggy Loop]

Eh, just replayed the game this summer on PC and I don't see much appeal with this remaster to be honest.
