Deus Ex needs a proper remaster. And I don't mean revision. I mean something like what the Crowbar Collective did with Black Mesa. Or Nightdive with System Shock.
Here's a hot take, it'd be damn near impossible for a remaster to match the vibe of Deus Ex, so it should only be updated with Quality of Life things to make it play nicer with modern computers. There's something about these old and aged graphics which funnily enough make it seem more real and immersive than a *lot* of games which try and look realistic in the modern day. Perhaps it's because we use our creativity to fill in the gaps and the lack of detail avoids the uncanny valley? I don't know.
@@teningur4266 Not necessarily, and considering how well received Nightdive's remake of System Shock 1 was and how faithful it was to the original, there is a possibility that a Deus Ex would work out.
Truth is, I've been recording several videos but I haven't posted them cause I always seem to make some dumb mistake while playing. Not sure if I should just keep recording or redo it till I get it right. Just not sure.
Installing the game on my modern PC and seeing the logo spinning like crazy as well as wonky resolution stuff signalled to me that I'd definitely need a patch. Tried installing the Community Update but I couldn't get it working even with help from the Discord, so I'm settling for Transcended for now.
I actually found the solution. If you have an Nvidia graphics card, you can go into the Nvidia control panel, go to Manage 3D settings. Look for the Program Settings tab, then select Deus Ex from the drop down menu. Look for Max Frame Rate and select 60fps. While you're there, you can mess with other settings if you want. Some can improve the visuals a bit, but otherwise, you're done. Run the game and enjoy. (I am thinking of making a video to help others with this).
@@CrashGordon94 Glad that helped. I'll look into my AMD powered machines and see if it has a frame limiter. Mean time, I hope you can enjoy that classic. I plan on doing a complete playthrough once I finish with the Mass Effect games (my wife is enjoying that series).
I gotta be honest, I'm not entirely sure why this is happening. All I can say is this only happens on my main desktop. I think it is simply too fast with no way to lock the frame rate. I read later there might be some programs that can do it. I mainly uploaded this because a friend of mine didn't believe me when I told him a windows based program could have this problem. Plus, it actually runs great on the Steam Deck.

I'm more concerned about Savage.
U-UNATCO?
@@RaTcHeT302 No, Savage
*UNATCO*
Why contain it?
Is cool.
yeah dude
It's like someone is mashing the keyboard trying to skip every cutscene

It kind of speaks to the writing how much of the key info gets across even if the dialogue is skipping every second
NOT SO FAST, JC.

@@ZeraphZen the same thing i'm thinking, deus ex remake would make the game worse

Why consoomers like so much to buy the same game with different graphics and expensive? There is free mods available.

animations must be tied to framerate leaving it unlocked must cause all this havoc.
This takes speedrunning to a whole new level.
Better than Metal Gear Solid.
342 FPS on my PC. Download the patch.

@@JosephGrutt I have an AMD card 😅
Anyway, Transcended seemed to sort it out.

What happened hear? Does this mean that even when it released the game just ran at whatever speed the computer could manage?

@JosephGrutt you gotta lock the framerate to 100. The game has a lot of inconsistencies and issues above 100fps.
@@thehalfinstream1630 I never realized this could happen with a program. I always assumed FPS limits were for maintaining PC health.

Need For Speed Rivals on pc breaks above 30fps.
Watching on x1,5 speed as usual
don't see the difference much
