You could just… not play it. Imagine that
Deus Ex
A community for fans of the Deus Ex series of video games.
It could also have not been remastered but here we are. Why is this suddenly all on the players? WHY DOES IT NEED TO BE REMADE?
There are lots of reasons for a proper remake:
- Better voice acting for most NPCs
- Better diagetic sound (footsteps and doors are a particular area for improvement)
- Better graphical presentation (dynamic lights, more polygons, improved assets and environment, less need for strange corridors to hide loading)
- Nicer keybindings (no more right square bracket to use the sniper scope)
- Improved combat AI
- Improved world simulation (crowds, object interaction, hacking
- A chance to adjust skills and augmentations that could be more useful in the original
I imagine that just like with System Shock 2 remaster, they will pull the original GOTY for sale (that could be had for as little as 0.50 in some sales
The Deus Ex collection is 77% off on steam right now
EXACTLY. and with the remaster as the only choice you'll never see it cheap again. Max you'll likely see a discount in the future of like $15.00 or $20.00
Why would the remaster be the only choice? They aren't removing the original.
They didn't remove the original System Shock 2 in the beginning either. But they did last month on the 10th.
With how tempting and cheap the OG has been, and the option apparently to switch graphics anytime in the remaster, there isn't any financial incentives to keep both for sale.
They'll bundle the original GOTY.... But for $30 now
