Deus Ex - conversation with Morpheus AI

Deus Ex works in widescreen using the DirectX render path. Trouble is, glide and opengl look much better.

I presume the new opengl renderer for DX works well though?

Andeh · 27 May 2008 at 14:02

yes it does. opengl/glide always tends to look nicer than DX

Might install this later, I think I have it on Steam.

Never got round to playing it though, except for the first couple of ....err...."areas".

Is there any graphical mods complete?

Read the rest of thread, apparently it's much further along than I previously realised .
In other news, and PLEASE start a new thread to discuss this if you want to, don't want to drag this offtopic, but there's also a complete rebuild of Half Life 1 on the Source engine in progress, rumoured for release by the end of the year. Black Mesa Source.

Source... Totally ruined CS :rolleyes:

Just fired up a new game

. Takes me back to the first time I played it on my lowly PII 266... chugging along at horrible frame rates on the lowest settings. Would have killed back then just to run it on high at 800*600 and now I run it maxed at the highest res and it looks pap

opening level of this game is one of the best levels ive ever played but yet ive never completed the game.......am i the only person who found the levels after to be bland(fun wise) in comparison?

I'm more the opposite. The game looks and sounds amazing from all I've read (and seen of the later levels) but the first level just bored me to tears...

Does this work on Vista? been YEARS since I played through it and want a good game to play until mass Effect is out

Andeh · 27 May 2008 at 14:56

should work fine on Vista. Its only the original Unreal engine, and everyone knows how solid that engine is.

BananaDunka · 27 May 2008 at 15:02

Good to know, It's like £1 at my local

Andeh · 27 May 2008 at 15:03

buy it! To this day, I would still be happy paying £30 for that game. Thats how good it is.

Same. The only game I come back to time and time again.

Of all the film spinoffs of all the games over the years, I'm surprised Deus Ex has never been done. It's got a mature, indepth storyline and universe, and could easily be turned into an epic length film. Not like it's a title languishing in obscurity either. Flip side is that many good games have been tarnished with average, or downright poor, films.

Shamikebab · 27 May 2008 at 18:26

Yeah it could make a damn good film, the plot unveils in a very film like style. Plus you've got a cast of characters that all have a fairly major part.

AbsenceJam · 27 May 2008 at 18:34

A film of Deus Ex would be dire. It'd e a B-Movie "The Matrix" meets "The Da Vinci Code" affair. As a game it's excellent, one of my top 5 but the material isn't that strong. Besides, even if it was created by the games development equivalent of Shakespeare we all know the film would be parp.

Deus Ex old skool legend... love the music as well...

Secret_Window · 27 May 2008 at 18:52

I must have played this game around 4-5 times all the way through. It never gets old, and I'm still finding new things! The story and dialogue is one of the best in video games history!

I might replay it again with the new textures!

Problem with Glide is (Voodoo5 aside) you are limited to 16bit (or ~22bit if you believe the marketing).

If I was gonna play Deus Ex again, I'd probably use the new DX9 renderer from here: http://cwdohnal.home.mindspring.com/utglr/
