Deus Ex : Revision

I stumbled upon this on Youtube, I couldn't find a thread here about it so I figured I'd post it - because it looks bloody awesome. Only downside is it changes a lot of the texture usage, but the concept and execution looks brilliant. Check it out here.
The website for it is here.

The guy's heard of the New Vision mod so he might go here. If you do, make yourself known!

Interesting, I'd like to play through DX again but with a twist

Yes, interesting. Seems to be pretty advanced but he/she is doing it alone so it might be better to wait how it turns out before getting too excited about a new mod. I wish him all the best for this project! Btw: The homepage looks horrible to me.

Homepage? The links Snipa posted both point at the youtube video, do you have a link?

Oops, my mistake. Fixed it.

Somethings wrong with his html. It looks borked in either IE7 or Firefox.

Yeah, it's doing that wonderful CSS thing where text can overlap itself so I can't read anything. "content="Web Page Maker V2" indeed. Looking at badly generated HTML source makes me sad. I can clean the redundancy up, but I don't know if I could fix it.

The mod, that makes me happy.

Dude's heard of New Vision, maybe he lurks here. Not sure what this would take to be DXR compatible. Lots of map conversions, but I don't know how hard that is. Looks awesome, but a shorter video might get the point across better. Linking the mod from the youtube page would be helpful, as would a better quality trailer. Hosting the game's original music may be a bad idea, not sure, copyright etc.

I stand by one comment:

lol Ton's Hotel.

It's supposed to be a rundown Hilton hotel. Looks better this way, but the name Ton's Hotel doesn't quite do it for me.

Boo! he stole my subname. I might just go and change mine then.

I think this is just as DXR compatible as the original Deus Ex maps, as it's "just" bigger maps. So whatever process DXR uses to make the maps UT2K4 compatible should be done again for these maps (I hope it's some automated process

).

The website is indeed

, I now have one new application I will never use to create a website

Interestingly, the website mentions 2008 3/4, which I assume to be 'fall 2008' to be the intended release date, so just over a year of waiting, we all got used to that anyway

Are you kidding!? How could you be used to only waiting for a year!? When was the last time a DX mod was created in less than three years?

EER · Post by **EER** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 9:25 am

I am going to assume that development on DX: Revision began 5 years ago, and he is still working on it, on his own. THAT's what I call dedication

for what ?

Post by **Jonas** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 9:28 am

Well it seems a lot of his content is taken from other mods, so it's quite possible it won't take him too long to finish his project.

I do hope he credits everybody he took stuff from. Unless of course I am mistaken.

Also I think his stuff looks very interesting, but in my opinion he should reevaluate his texture use
