Why am I judging?&#8221; Which is less approval so much as it is resignation to the whims of fate.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t fault the guy. Deus Ex was never a graphical powerhouse, but it had a vibe and a cohesive aesthetic all the way back in the year 2000. &#8220;You wanted to lean into what the engine did well and don\u2019t do the shit that it doesn\u2019t do well,&#8221; said O&#8217;Flaherty.<\/p>\n<p>The remaster, as we&#8217;ve seen it so far, trades all that in for a slapdash up-rezzing of everything, making the game too bright, too bulky, and strangely even <em>more<\/em> archaic-looking than it did originally.<\/p>\n<p>O&#8217;Flaherty recalls that a lot of the hand-crafted work that went into the OG Deus Ex wasn&#8217;t trying to achieve the kind of high-fidelity, &#8216;realistic&#8217; look that so many remasters and remakes go for. &#8220;You\u2019re not trying for efficiency, you\u2019re trying for reality. And sometimes reality just isn\u2019t exactly what you want. This is why Hollywood lights the shit out of their movies. It\u2019s why they put a big screen up and then they light it like it\u2019s sunlight. They want it to be exactly what they want.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"FVMiW3bgXgLhegf6FLSKTc\" name=\"ss_ee1d28eedc30b14b6998ab815f1184646cf6e1eb.1920x1080\" alt=\"JC sneaks up on an NSF terrorist while wielding a crowbar, his arm looks strange and distended.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/deus-exs-og-art-director-has-seen-the-remaster-oh-what-the-f-no-this-did-not-need-to-happen.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Aspyr)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That, ah, doesn&#8217;t quite seem to be the approach being taken with the DX remaster. &#8220;They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics,&#8221; wrote one disgruntled fan in the immediate aftermath of the game&#8217;s reveal. &#8220;How did someone not realise how awful those visuals look?&#8221; asked another.<\/p>\n<p>My hope is that Aspyr either takes the criticism into account and changes its approach\u2014which would almost certainly entail a delay\u2014or at least put in a toggle to switch to the old graphics, as it did with its (very good, as far as I&#8217;ve heard) Tomb Raider remasters.
