So, Deus Ex Remastered was finally revealed, and honestly, it's about time! Aspyr showed off a teaser trailer at the recent State of Play, giving us a glimpse of what they've been cooking up. The big selling points are the updated character models, improved lip-syncing, and the addition of ragdoll physics. It's awesome that they're bringing this classic back for a new generation, but the reaction online has been… mixed.

I mean, who doesn’t love Deus Ex? It’s a masterpiece of cyberpunk storytelling and emergent gameplay. The original game was groundbreaking, letting you tackle situations in so many different ways. I have such fond memories of spending hours exploring every nook and cranny of that world, experimenting with augmentations and finding creative solutions to complex problems. So any news of a remake or remaster immediately catches my attention.

However, not everyone is sold on the visual upgrades. While some are excited to see the game with a fresh coat of paint, others feel like the new look doesn't quite capture the original's atmosphere. They argue that the updated models lack the gritty, low-poly charm of the original, and that the improved lip-syncing looks a little…off. I can see where they're coming from. Sometimes, trying too hard to modernize a classic can actually detract from what made it special in the first place. It's a fine line to walk.

It seems like a lot of the criticism revolves around the art style. For example, some fans feel that the updated character models look too generic, losing the distinctive look of the original characters. Others have pointed out that the improved lip-syncing, while technically impressive, doesn't quite match the tone and delivery of the original voice acting. Of course, it's just a teaser trailer, so things could change before the final release. But it's definitely something to keep an eye on.

Personally, I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm thrilled that Deus Ex is getting some love and attention, and I'm eager to see how the gameplay holds up with the new enhancements. But I also understand the concerns of those who feel like the visual upgrades might be missing the point. Hopefully, Aspyr will listen to the feedback and make sure that the remaster stays true to the spirit of the original. Only time will tell if they can pull it off. But one thing's for sure: the hype is real!
