Aspier unveils Remade before God exist This week's statea new trailer for the first time, showed how the 25-year-old Masterpice was updated with a character model with better lip sync animation and Ragdoll Physics physics.
But while fans are happy to see the classic game get a makeover, including reimagined lighting, dynamic shadows, water physics, particle effects and new textures, the refreshed visuals don’t impress everyone.
“From 2000 to 2005, upgraded visuals,” a commenter on YouTube said. trailer. Another added: “There are now free mods that make the original game look better than this, while at the same time more faithful.”
“I wanted the amount of this until I saw the screenshot… Oh, my god is rough. Losing the original charm, but still looking terrible and outdated.” Brucekywhile others explain: “It's exactly what I've always wanted… the original Deus Ex, but it looks weird.”
Many fans point out the “block” of visual effects, suggestion It looks “not cohesive and unfinished”. Actually, I tried to find that the comments from fans were satisfied with the visual effect this Pragmatic player: “I don't care about how it looks, I'm being hyped.”
“Visually, it looks really bad. Extremely simple, the blocky horizontal design conflicts with the high (ER) quality texture and the quality and model of the '512×512 Minecraft Texture Pack,” suggestion A fan. “The lighting is not very good either. Very hard lights and shadows, there are a lot of crushed black in the screenshot. Maybe some form of ambient occlusion would help, but I don't think these levels have any form of realistic lighting.
“I can't imagine it's worth it unless it's necessary to have good controller support. The informal remake already exists in the form of a Deus Ex revision with a vanilla map and soundtrack.”
Aspyr's recent honors include the Star Wars: Front Classic series, the Knights of the Old Republic and the Tomb Raider IV-VI.
While it makes sense that Embracer, owner of the Deus Ex franchise, Eidos Montreal and Aspyr, will choose one of its own studios to handle the remake of the game it also owns, some hope that the company behind the companies on Doom 64, Quake, Quake, Turok and Turok will eventually take place on Deus. Indeed, night crews expressed their desire to re-made Deus Ex one day. Alas, no, tweets from Lead Engine Developer Samuel Villarreal, who leads Night Studios:
