Human beings may not be perfect, but a computer program with language synthesis is hardly the answer to the world's problems

Okay where?

Old men. Running the world.

Human beings may not be perfect, but a computer program that generates textures is hardly the answer to the world's problems.

The need to be observed and understood was once satisfied by God. Now we can implement the same functionality with data-mining algorithms

>>724689303
it's better than housing the homeless or feeding the starving, god forbid we create a society that's sustainable.

>>724689303
You think you know better than Aspyr what to do with the remaster?

When creativity fails us, we really do live in a world of remakes and remasters.

>>724689476
Do you have a single fact to back that up?

>>724689013 (OP)
Why contain it?

>>724689191
Probably scamming modders and promising them work in the industry after the release

>>724689491
If the brain it assimilated was mine, maybe it could be.

>>724689013 (OP)
a remaster is fine. a dog shit remaster is not. i hope they at least fixed those early 2000s conveyer belt walking motions where the camera doesnt move on the Z axis

A NEW AGE

>>724689013 (OP)
Oh, don't you worry. Within a decade, this shit will get far worse, and every standard of decency will be obliterated.

>>724689891
Deus ex doesn’t need a remaster

>>724689491
Among other things.

The funniest shit is how Deus Ex had some dude run textures through an AI program like 8 years ago to make a better textures mod, and that mod looked fine while sticking to how Deus Ex looked. The ugly remaster is a modern marvel of outsourcing to some sea studio that didn't care and didn't even do as well as an AI.

>>724689013 (OP)
I mean, the original looks like it's very obvious designed around looking dark with baked in exaggerated lighting effects. The remaster looks like an offbrand UE store asset.

>>724690585
Honestly, it's some weird stuff, like they decided to push UE1 to maximum with specular, normal(?) maps, and probably skeletal animation to achieve 2003-05 look, but they don't have the resources to make those improvements look good

>>724690041
name one reason a remaster would make the game worse

>>724690959
it doesn't look as good

>>724690742
>achieve 2003-05 look
To me the game looks like a fan mod running on the doom 3 engine

>>724690959
Ruins the visual design and atmosphere, subtly changes the writing and gameplay, and infests all future attempts at discussion with retards who played the remaster, much the same way Deus Ex discussion is today infested with Jensen troons.

Do you mean to some new iteration of it? It is already in UE. You can pull down a console and do all kinds of things in it. This is also why wrappers and other fan additions took off so well for it.

Who cares just don't play it if you hate it.

>>724689063
It's all in the numbers

1) That's terror.
2) That's terror.

>>724691808
Many care. Corps deliberately kill off even mentions of the originals to try and sell more reslop.

>>724689162
>I'm not big into books.
And yet, when Ford Schick mentions myelin, JC knows exactly what that means. He only pretends to be dumb.

Is Deus Ex the most mismanaged property today?
>Produce one of the most timeless and influential games of all time, refining a new genre in the process
>Sequel is equal parts ambitious and phoned-in to facilitate a console release
>get a prequel 10 years later that's even more dumbed-down
>half a dozen spin-offs that add absolutely nothing of value to the setting and sell like shit
>first "remaster" is just an AI upscale of the shovelware PS2 port

>>724691808
this doesnt work because they just keep doing this again and again regardless of if you like it. instead of doing anything you do like- they just keep doing this instead, thats how we got here you fucking idiot.
>videogames havnt been very good for a long time
>"then just dont play the bad ones if you hate them"

>>724692193
all properties are mismanaged. If they still exist theyre likely complete shit. the top 10 series of all time on any list are now literally just doing completely random shit. even Thief has decided a VR only game is the best idea for a new iteration

>>724691976
He had all of the noteworthy and potentially useful books downloaded into his brain before activation and doesn't read anything new.

>>724692193
HR isn't quite dumbed down. It's just very safe and technologically butchered. They had very harsh constraints in both what they could do with the world and story without breaking consistency too obviously, as well as in how much freedom HR could offer while looking pretty enough for the intended audiences of contemporary console users.
IW suffered from the latter and obviously even more so, but the story and world being only okay is entirely on them not knowing how to expand well from what they've created. Rolling all of the original;s endings into one where they all sort of kind of happen but not really is a perfect warning of what's coming after that.

>>724692264
If they can put information into his brain just like that, why didn't they put in all the skills? It's kinda ridiculous that a cyborg elite agent starts totally untrained.

>>724692519
Skills are actually difficult, books are just text. If he has all of that in plain text that's like a few hundred megabytes at most even with something as primitive as Deflate.

>>724692193
Nope, that's still Silent Hill and will continue to be Silent Hill for maybe another decade or so.

I feel like remasters have a bad tendency to have artistic illiteracy because the artistically literate WOULDN'T make these sorts of remasters to begin with
They'd rather focus on making actual new stuff
It reminds me of how stuff like films and comics have piss poor remasters and re-colors because the people in charge have a narrow understanding of what makes something "better"

>>724692519
He should be trained better than he plays, but ultimately there's a tradeoff between that and RPG mechanics. There isn't really a perfect solution. Maybe giving you more skill points to start but giving you less as the game goes on, so it evens out?

>>724693268
>It reminds me of how stuff like films and comics have piss poor remasters
They already started running old movies through some shitty AI upscalers, it's fucked.

Name a single good "remaster" that isnt Resident Evil 1.
Go on. Try. Because there are non and they all take away features from the original work

>>724693574
If fan-made ones count, there's Marathon: Resurrection.

>>724693574
If we're including remakes, the first two sets of Pokemon remakes were generally all-around improvements on the originals, unless you really hated natures and abilities.

>>724693574
REmake is well, an actual remake
Which does indeed have a stronger track record of quality (for example, Zero Mission) but aren't entirely spotless either

>>724693574
>Name a single good "remaster" that isnt Resident Evil 1.
Metroid Prime Remastered

>>724689297
That's Terror

>>724693574
Dead Rising fixed the retarded control scheme that utilized left stick instead of the right one when aiming, never mind the fact that you didn't have to worry about RRoD anymore.

>>724690959
>modern writing

Let’s try some word association. First word: BlackRock

>>724693574
Geneforge, but it is niche as fuck and remastered by the guy that made it originally so doesn't really count.

>>724693745
pokemon isn't a game so it doesn't count

>>724693917
>censored slop
no thanks I'll stick to the superior original.

>>724694871
What the fuck are you talking about?

that's terror

>>724689013 (OP)
I do think that Deus Ex could use a remaster, but it would need to be a good remaster made by people who truly love and care for the original game. People who understand why Deus Ex is iconic, who would be able to keep everything that makes it good while patching up its weaker and aged aspects (like controls).

Why are you locked in the bathroom?

imsims will be unpopular no matter what you do with them. The only correct way to manage desu sex is turning it into a full on action RPG, ass effect style. You may not like it but it's the truth. Imsim doesn't sell
