Deus Ex GMDX: Deus Ex Advancement Mod v9 Released!

[Ash]

Edit: [redacted thanks aimed at PCGamesN]

 

[Ash]

huh, they've updated the article about GMDX turning it into one pimping Revision, overriding the original article.

Fucking hell.



quality is irrelevant.

 

[Fenix]

Ah, so before it looked different?

 

[Ash]

Before it was an article solely about GMDX entering public beta, and even included mention of how GMDX is "universally endorsed over Revision on reddit", now it's an article primarily about Revision despite even having "GMDX enters public beta" in the URL.

 

[The Anti-Santa]

It's a conspiracy! No really, why does revision get so much public backing? It's not like any money is directly made from it.

If it is just to pump up Deus Ex sales (as if it needed any more exposure) why can't they highlight different mods for it on a regular basis?

Fishy.

 

[Durandal]

In a rather neat (((coincidence))), GOG made the announcement less than an hour after our story on Give Me Deus Ex (GMDX), another community remaster that aims to update the mechanics as well as the visuals.

 

[RoSoDude]

Here we have a mod for one of the best PC games ever created, consistently regarded as the "definitive Deus Ex experience", which faithfully pushes the game to its potential, yet is mostly unknown by the community at large. On the other hand we have a mod, hyped beyond belief, which absolutely butchers the game on an objective level (outright broken elements, awful design choices and inconsistencies abound), yet is receiving all the attention and even gaming "news" sites are letting it steal the spotlight. In the end, it's corporate contracts and marketing that determine success.

Bill Hicks had it right those many years ago:

 

[grimace]

We counter-shill.

Promote purchase of Deus EX GOTY on GOG and installation of GMDX.

 

[ghostdog]

Hopefully GMDX's new graphic and area-structure improvements will make it much more known.

For some unknown reason it's the "official" DX mod. Why and how, we may never know.
I suspect underdesk sex.

First review:

In short it’s a poor mans version of the much superior GMDX MOD which you can find here http://genericname112.wixsite.com/gmdx

Then you compare Ash, who is autistic about the game above all else.

All good modders are, ask Drog Black Tooth
And it's true, just recently I stumbled upon http://mech3mod.weebly.com/ which is basically a single guy working on his stuff for a years old game, getting little to no recognition.
all around

I'm considering remaking it (UAP) with more modern technology.

fuck guys im so wasted right now, what am i doing with my life

Is autistic the right word there?

 

[Black]

Yes, we don't need to fear autism, we need to embrace and weaponize it.
Besides, if you're not on the spectrum you probably don't enjoy rpgs anyway.

 

[Junmarko]

Ash, is there some way to get a middle-ground with GUI scaling, x1.2 or x1.3 thereabouts? (1920x1080)

 

[Ash]

Not any feasible way from my understanding, but ask Marijn Kentie. He is the specialist in that area.

Cool. Just cut between eye strain or a bloated HUD. Gotta be some other tweak.

 

[Ash]

Are you in on the beta? If so, you could try reverting to v5.3 of Kenties Launcher, if that worked for you before in v8.0.

Yeah, caught you by Email.

I was never able to get 8.0 to run correctly - needed a reformat anyway. Ah, I might just drop the res to 720 for a while, less of a headache. So many modded games now, hard to keep track.

Good job with the installer as well

What I did: Run the game in a custom windowed resolution <1080p. (IIRC I used 1680x945) and then used Windowed Borderless Gaming to get it to borderless fullscreen.

*browses over the whole shit show*

Too fucking funny: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/release_deus_ex_revision_free_mod_2b416/post153

I'm supposed to remain silent in times like these, but really, that image depicts it best (whoever made it deserves a medal), and I'm not surprised the informed portion of the fanbase is up in arms. Also if you download Deus Ex from GoG Revision comes bundled within like adware, and you have to downgrade your game version to be able to play the original or some shit like that. I don't know I'm far too busy right now to keep up.

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE !!!

I need to complain on GOG. How do I do that?

 

[pippin]

Checked my game in Galaxy, it apparently received the "Revision Update", that probably means you get the update to be able to install Revision? Because it is still listed as a separate product, and it even appears as a product you can "buy".
I don't have DE currently installed but in the rollback section apparently you still have the option from two years ago.

I tried Revision on Steam and it gave me annoyingly long loading times and some lag, even. I admit I am playing it on a toaster but I had no problem whatsoever when I tried the normal version with New Vision.

Edit. found this in the "update" thread

Deus Ex™ GOTY Edition has probably changed

[NO CHANGELOG]

So it implies there's a separate installer for Revision. But they do not clarify as to what extent the original game was changed.

 

[Carrion]

This shit makes my blood boil. It's so fucking sad that lots of people will probably try Deus Ex for the first time and get duped into installing that piece of shit along with it.
