Here is My Little Review For Deus EX: Revision

Just made my playthrough of this on my twitch channel for the release of the upcomming Mankind Dividied.

Now having not played the original Deus Ex in Years i must say seeing this mod and the atention to detail on pretty much every area was quite refreshing. It made the game feel new again, even tho it still looks dated the gameplay is still fantastic.

The game itself plays pretty much exactly like the original Deus Ex but its the areas/locations that are the main focus here. From the min i spawned in i could see straight away changes again making me forget about the original and go and explore these new parts. I played the game on medium dificulty and noticed that there are alot more enemys around compared to the original making me change my approach that i used the first time i played the game. None of the story from what i can recall changed but it has been years since i played the first and im not quite sure what they would implement that would add too or change it anyway. Once u leave the starting area and head to the new city areas thats where the magic of this mod comes into play. The areas are Alot bigger with added buildings to go explore and more astheticly better looking that the plain city we are all acustomed to from the first deus ex thats where this mod shines.

I must say with the FREE price tag this mod comes in, its deff a must pick up for any Deus Ex fans that are wanting to go back to and play it again.

Quite a Refreshing new experiance of a classic reborn, that is until there is ever a Deus ex 1 official Remake but until then this one does it perfectly :D

Cheers guys

I'll be Honest I like this mod Although it is not for everyone it changes up some areas design which Is good in some Areas but also bad, The game trys to add in a lot of yellow lights to act like Deus Ex Human Revolution, this can kind of throw away some of the games atmosphere. The Developer also changed some Billboards one of which has a reference to himself which gets rid of some of its Cannon properties. The reworked textures are amazing though don't expect any Crazy good ones with Bump maps and the sort but they are remade in a way that keeps the same appearence as the original but adds that extra sense of realism.

I recommend that you use the original music when playing this I don't personally hate some of the reworked music but the atmosphere and tone of the originals soundtrack is better suiting. Achievements are coming but at the time of me writing this review they still aren't out there's just a list of 170 nothing more so as is don't expect to get loads of achievements from this, I've read the list of achievements online and don't expect to get them all in one playthrough when they come out because that's impossible. I enjoyed it enough to recommend it although if you want the original experience I suggest you play the original first and if you liked it play this with Biomod or Shifter and it will be worth it besides the mod is free so That's a steal it aint no pay to have mod like Skyrim tried pulling XD

Posted: 4 August

It is exceedingly rare for me to play a game, even a very good one, for more than three hours in a single sitting. The fact that Deus Ex managed six is all you need to know.

I remember buying Deus Ex a while back and playing through to chapter 3, give or take. Eventually, I gave up due to poor game mechanics. I can't exactly remember what all my gripes were, but whatever they were, they must have been fixed by the BioMod patch of Revision.

Posted: 3 August

Looks Better and adds more hours of playtime. Best Mod Ever!

Posted: 29 July

As some one who played through the original many times back in the day, I welcome this in my gaming library with a nostalgic HQ high five!

I was never into modding back in the day so all this is new for me. I am absolutely loving all the changes. It is almost a new game to me. A lil harder then I remember but who doesn't enjoy a damn good challenge now-a-days?

All in all 10/10 would replay again and again.

Posted: 25 July

Revision is a free mod for Deus Ex that significantly overhauls the environments. Rather than being a simple cosmetic design change, the layout of maps and objectives are altered, as well as placement and routes of patrols. The result is that the game feels surprisingly fresh. I have played through Deus Ex I can't count how many times and had learned it and all of its secrets backwards and forwards, and Revision made me really slow down and PLAY the game again. This gave me time to appreciate the work put into the environments. There are WAY more nooks and crannies scattered throughout the levels and overall the environments feel more lived in. Some levels like the Knights Templar cathedral and the streets leading up to it I barely recognized. If you are going to reinstall Deus Ex again (which we all do at some point) give Revision a whirl.

Posted: 22 July

My review is below but if you just want someones quick opinion buy the game and download this mod. So either keep reading for some spoilers or just stop already and start playing a better Deus Ex than Human Revolution.

Bought the game Deus Ex a while back was never able to complete because I had so many other games to play and I can usually get past the graphics of old games but never got around some of those graphics. But with Deus Ex Revision "fixed" those problems for me. Rest assured I had a great time the story was great a conspricay theorists dream where evil corporations and governments in a day and age where people complain the corporations are evil and the government isn't but that isn't the point. Now than I have played and finished Deus Ex Human revolution while I would say that I felt that the combat in and some gameplay was better. I felt as a whole the better game was Deus Ex with its suprior ai and mechanics some would call "old" and also on a whole I felt the story was also far better but I sort of felt like I needed more closure because I chose the Dark Age ending while I can assume many probably died it eventually led to some form of freedom.

Deus Ex: Revision isn't a bad mod, all things considered. I feel like I should get that out of the way first. The problem with it is that it doesn't do anything that really makes it worth the 5 GB extra download.

Revision tries to combine most of the well-known mods like the HD texture pack, Shifter, and Biomod, along with some new additions, but the package feels poorly put together. The new soundtrack is okay, but it's never good enough that I thought it was noticeably better than the original iconic music, and the only times I really noticed it were when I didn't like it as much. It includes various HD graphics mods, but they all fall into the same problem that every Deus Ex HD mod falls into. They slap fancy high-res textures all over the maps, but only occasionally change the extremely flat, blocky environments of the original game, leaving it with a "Minecraft HD Texture Pack" feel that just looks worse than the original textures in the end. The HD characters are a whole other story, ranging from bug-eyed UNATCO soldiers who look like their respirators give them a constant supply of crack cocaine and JC looking like a 40 year old cosplayer who's past his prime, and I can't imagine anyone actually playing the game without disabling them within 20 minutes. Walton Simons doesn't even seem to have an HD model, even though he's one of the only two important things in the opening cutscene.

The Revision part of the mod does make some noteworthy changes though, aside from just removing "Deus Ex" from the title in every possible place that it can as if they think their mod is so substantial that it justifies being its own creation. Various levels have small additions to the level design, adding new structures or rooms that in general are pretty well-made. If you could just use those changes as a solitary mod, it would be nice. Unfortunately, Revision also does plenty of things that annoyed me. The major issue is that they altered the difficulty settings to make them impact more things, like what items appear in what difficulties, and those minor changes pretty severely alter Realistic. I always considered Realistic the go-to difficulty for Deus Ex because of the way it provides enough challenge to encourage you to make the most of your augmentations and the environment without putting you on an unfair playing field, but Revision's Realistic does things like removing a significant amount of augmentation upgrade cannisters from the game and other various things that turn it into more of a masochistic Very Hard mode. They also add a lot of guards that are just annoying, like a seated guard right at the start of Liberty Island that essentially forces you to abuse the AI in order to get the baton at the start. Gunther's cell also now has two seated guards facing each other, making the room effectively impossible to stealth. I'm really not sure what their reasoning for doing those things are.

I really just don't really see any benefit to playing Revision over the base game, or even the base game with other mods. The mod includes Shifter and Biomod and lets you choose one of them at the start if you want, but it doesn't explain anything at all about what either of them do, so you're still much better off just reading about them and downloading them seperately. I don't think anything else in this mod is substantial enough to be worth being a download 5 times the size of the base game, and the basic Revision changes come with too much dead weight to be worth it. It isn't necessarily a terrible mod, but I wouldn't prefer replaying it over replaying vanilla Deus Ex. Really, I didn't even prefer playing it once over replaying the original, even though I've played the original game several times by now.

An excellent refresher for this amazing game. These guys did a fantastic job. I had so much fun exploring the new areas, which are weaved together with the original areas perfectly.

My favorite part of the original game was the music, and I was scared when I noticed that these guys had redone it. However, they did such an amazing job on it.

They released this mod for free. Any self respecting Deus Ex fan needs to play this. I enjoyed it so much I donated to the team.

10/10.

Updated Review

Deus Ex: Revision is an incredibly fun mod which refreshes the original game.
Instead of being a total conversion like the well-beloved "The Nameless Mod", Revision reworks major elements of the original game while retaining it's storyline.

Many (if not all areas) have been redesigned and expanded upon, these expanded areas feature many secrets and new events, and of course i need to mention that the mapping is very well done, bringing the best out of the Unreal engine.

More so, new weapon models reflect the mods used on them - meaning that for example a pistol with scope and laser will actually look the part.

The mod features an optional exclusive soundtrack, giving the player a choice between original music or the revision tracks.

Overall i highly recommend this mod both to people who (like myself) replay the first Deus often and wouldn't mind experiencing new things in their beloved game, and to stubborn people who always wanted to play Deus but couldn't get past the game's "age".

To me the first Deus Ex will always be a perfect and beautiful game, no matter how much time passes.
As for this mod, it only makes these feelings burn even stronger.

To finish off i would like to compliment the developers on the tech support which assisted me in solving a technical issue i had.

I have to say I'm shocked at the overwhelming negativity I'm seeing in the reviews so far. I'll explain in a moment but first let me digress.

The first time I ever experienced Deus Ex was at a friend's house. My computer couldn't run Deus Ex. That was during a time when decent computers in a household were not so common. I think I had a 200mhz back then. Anyway, my friend was on the MJ12 prison level and the music immediately captivated me. Then everything else. Flash forward to when my gateway 900mhz computer running windows ME arrived and the first thing I did was install deus ex. Holy crap, I had two speakers *and* a subwoofer. Opening theme turned up to 11. So yeah. I played it 'back then'. And I replay it probably once every year and a half or so. Even as recent as two or so years ago I still came across tiny little details I hadn't seen yet. Like the natural way to unlock J.C's 'stick with unatco' dialogue with Paul in the 'Ton (It goes no further, but you don't need to use code), or the Unatco Troops in Hells Kitchen during the firefight reacting positively ("You shot the guy who got Jones." "You're one of us, J.C" Protip- Go nonlethal up to that point and then take down as many NSF as you can) Hell, there's even a line from a trooper about JC and Anna hooking up.

So. What's the point of all that? I get it - the game is legendary. Despite its age, it can still captivate. And that's just it - how many times have we played it? This conversion does not presume to make the game 'better'. It makes it *different*. And that has been thoroughly enjoyable from what I've played so far. Yeah, the first level is dark. It's a night op. You're a cop. Use your flashlight aug-eyes. But use it smart. There are more enemies and in different places. They *cycle* weapons. I've been getting my ♥♥♥ kicked and I love it. I don't know what's around the corner this time, and it's great. It's making me adopt a new playstyle. I'm having tons of fun.

Alright, one brief note about the music. It goes without saying the original soundtrack is a masterpiece. They give you the option to use it instead of the remixes because they respect the game and its a labor of love. That being said, the remix so far (only on the first level) reminds me of daggerfall, which is pretty cool. Y'know, the rain theme or even the night theme. It's not necessarily better, but it's different. And I'm all for a new Deus Ex experience.

From one long time fan to another, you really should give this a shot. I can't wait to see what else is new.

Edit: For real. Rebind the light aug from F12 to F and play the first level non leathal. You'll have fun.
