Deus Ex's 20th anniversary

PSA: re-installed it yesterday, currently arriving at Battery Park

(The steam GOTY edition is smoothly and perfectly playable in "vanilla" edition without any mods; just make sure to select "OpenGL" as renderer, and set colors to 32bit, otherwise you might have overly dark environment if D3D is selected, as well as random stutter and fps dips if 16bit is selected)

I've read about Kentie launcher and GMDX mod and their improvements, but I wanted to go full vanilla.

So far, the only thing I noticed is some minor flickering textures but nothing game breaking.

LOL

He'll eventually play it, with some encouragement.

Finished my playthrough: still a masterpiece and even more relevant today than it was years before.

Thinking of re-installing Invisible War; yes they dumbed it down for consoles and it lost many of the first game features/mechanics, but Alex Denton deserves a second chance, a new perspective maybe after all these years (played the retail version when it came out in 2003 and never touched it again)

Warren Spector should take things back into his own hands for a true sequel

Let's hope the upcoming System Shock 3 delivers and gives him a boost to dive again (he's not getting younger though)

I think the dream for me would be to bring Spector in sure, but Harvey Smith with his experience with Dishonored, Sheldon J. Pacotti and Austin Grossman amazing writing skills and Viktor Antonov directing the art, and i'd love to see how Alexander Brandon would reenvision this universe 2 decades later, with his synth heavy musical tracks.

Maybe Bethesda should buy the ip and give it to arkane?! The decision to have the DX:MD team make an Avengers game was such a weird one... Maybe they can go back to DX now.

I agree, but I see Spector as an orchestra conductor that glues the whole thing together with his vision and direction
