Deus Ex: Ultra High Quality Mod

Uriel · 27 Sep 2009 at 23:19

Deus Ex, brought kicking and screaming into DirectX 9 territory. They've modded the engine to add bloom, bump mapping, shadows, various shaders etc.

Anyone had a go yet? I'm looking forward to giving it a try.

I don't get it. It seems to good to be true. I have been eagerly awaiting certain graphics mods for deus ex which have been in the pipelin for ages, this effectivle pea's all overthem and it's been out a year! wth!

Well, it actally seems to work with HDTP and New Vision mods (Edit: and uses their material - they're credited).

It's just an engine upgrade. It kind of has a brute force approach. I've read comments saying people needed to turn it off (shift F12) to read the menus properly etc.

Once HDTP and New Vision are finished, this is going to be great. Everything re-textured and an engine upgrade.

Now if someone would re-do the animation and add some sensible physics, we'll be laughing.

That looks fantastic. Makes me want to go and play through it again, I've lost count of how many times this would be now. Pity I don't have a decent enough connection to download it until thursday

Certainly is; if you buy for a challenge try to play the 1st map without using a firearm; ingenious design there

i'll have to give it a go, out of interest, would the original unmodded run ok on a low spec netbook?

It's all I've got right now as my main PC is doing strange things.... The mod looks good tho.

It'd easily run on a netbook.

It's one of the best pc games ever made.

ace-rimmer · 28 Sep 2009 at 08:53

did they ever make one for resident evil 1 or 2?

Sleepery · 28 Sep 2009 at 09:29

Damn, that looks good. Are these purely graphic mods? They don't muck around with the balance or story, do they?

james.miller · 28 Sep 2009 at 09:47

it does work. only playing on my laptop though and the fps dives from 60 to 5 lol. It makes a massive difference on the lighting of the scene, although obviously it's overdone and things can look a little plastic-wrapped.

still, it looks great lol

Only played it for an hour or so then uninstalled it, wasn't that bothered to be honest. Although had a funny moment when in the base, I went into the lasses toilet and when I was getting debriefed from the 1st mission the boss told me to keep out of there as some of the women had complained

Quoted for the absolute, purest, utter, virginal, honeyed and silken truth.

I had to work away last year and bought a netbook specifically for the purpose of playing Deus Ex. Usual spec 1.6 GHz atom, 512MB RAM Intel 945G graphics. Ran perfectly.

The retail versions need the CD in the drive though. Might be easier to get the Steam version and avoid messing about with virtual drives or an external CD ROM.
