Thread 723664972

Where is the actual lore explanation that the twin towers are missing from the NYC skylines because of terrorism?
And how are they not there due to memory constraints? It's a still image.

Warren Spector did 9/11

find out in mgs twin snakes

hmmmm i dont know

it's a still image that has to be loaded in at all times. average ram when the game was being made was only like 128mb when the image of the boxart I got from wikipedia is 22kb

it was a time where you had to cut things down whenever possible and devs actually gave a shit about performance, having TWO skybox still images loaded in would be a noticable performance hit for something nobody is going to give a shit about because obviously the twin towers aren't going anywhere

I wish deus ex was about going to the twin towers and bombing it so unatco could fight the middle east

>>723665675
It still doesn't explain why they aren't there in game. Is it just a myth that they were destroyed by the NSF?

>>723664972 (OP)
That's the midtown skyline viewed from the west, idk why the devs did that.

Look Rajeesh, i know english isn't your mother tongue but try taking your questions to your professor first for editing and then come back. kay? :)

>>723666038
They're still visible though

>>723666174
Do you really think a poojeet would play a game such as Deus Ex?

I'm white

For some reason r*ssians are absolutely obsessed with the Deus Ex games. The Steam discussions are absolutely full of them.

>>723666147
What are you even trying to say, you disgusting brown subhuman excrement?

>>723666568
For some reason, Russians fill up almost every Steam discussion page. I guess they just play lots of vidya

>>723666147
He made no mention of that, fucking retard

i've noticed russian's e*glish is usually on par with a pajeet. so i call them as i see them

uhhh lets see... the internet just made up both of those things. devs just forgot to add the WTC

>>723667878
Where was he talking about how the color of a pixel changes resolution of the file?

>>723667878
Congrats. You are the most subhuman, most retarded, most ape-like monkey retard on this board.
You're not even capable of stringing together a single coherent thought. That's an entirely new level of retardation.

>>723667565
No, the image was cut off due to memory limitations. Deus Ex had to run on Pentium Is. Gamer PCs didn't exist then as they do now, anything that couldn't run on a Kmart spec PC wouldn't have any buyers because add-on graphics cards had to be bought through catalogs. This also encouraged people to buy magazines where they could order a catalog.

deus ex is part of that late 90's conspiracy kino
it wasn't the only one that predicted the wtc being taken down in a false flag terrorist attack

Some guy who knew what he was talking about posted the real explanation about the limitations in another thread a few months ago. It had nothing to do with memory. They just had the same skyline and buildings for when you were looking the other way, and they couldnt have the towers there too. Or something like that, i dont remember.

>>723665196
Warren Sector said it was a mistake from the artist, but he told about it strangely enthusiastically, how he would want to be a guy who predicted it

LMFAO nothing but seething playground insults. Looks like I win.

>>723668813
Deus Ex is simply the most kino game of all time

>>723669154
He probably made this video; it took 3 textures, cube brushes, and 11kb of memory. Would probably take less from the actual dev

>>723668813
The Twin Towers were bombed in 1993 so them being destroyed by terrorists was topical.

dues ex 3 jensen should be in china let the chinese try at making an immersive sim for the first time in the history of their country

>>723666568
Is it an old piece of jank for the PC? Does it have world building? Expect vatniks in your midst.

7 hours ago, youre exactly right. This thread was for that purpose

>>723670275
I had just watched this video which is why I made this thread

>>723670061
Russian taste is just German taste minus the football.
That is to say it's Eurojank galore with some archaic American PC games like Morrowind and Fallout 2 sprinkled on it.

I never asked

>>723670652
Stop it.

It would have made the image too tall. The skybox is several images stitched together and they weren't going to bump up the height of all of them just so it'd fit with the one where the towers were. It would have resulted in the textures holding around 0.5-1MB more of space in VRAM, I believe. Probably acceptable, even for the time, but it was a pointless compromise to make so they didn't do it.

>>723670834
Wrong. Specter said the artist simply forgot to add the twin towers.

>>723672440
Kill yourself and delete your shitty YouTube channel.

>"The artist left them out."
>they forgot it
Already, we're running a new game of telephone.

Hey it's me, Warren Specter. A year after making deus ex, i actually orchestrated 9/11 so it could be more "prophetic.".

what are you talking about? The twin towers still exist in real life and in the game.

>>723672617
