Classic sci-fi immersive sim Deus Ex is returning with a fresh coat of paint and updated features, compliments of Aspyr. The remaster about a futuristic society crumbling beneath the weight of feckless governments and wild conspiracy theories arrives at a hell of a time.<\/p>\n
\u201cQuestion Everything. Trust No One,\u201d reads the tagline to a game with many fans, including billionaire Elon Musk. He called the original \u201cone of the best games ever\u201d in 2020<\/a>. This new remaster promises visual upgrades and quality-of-life improvements similar to Aspyr\u2019s existing HD remasters of the Tomb Raider games. Hopefully,\u00a0 Deus Ex Remastered will be the definitive way to replay one of the most important games of the century. At least it will make the PC version accessible on console. The PS2 version, Deus Ex: The Conspiracy, joined PS Plus earlier this year.<\/p>\n The irony of Elon Musk\u2019s love for the game has haunted it in recent years. One of the game\u2019s original writers, Austin Grossman, called it the immersive sim\u2019s \u201cworst legacy\u201d in an interview earlier this month<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThat kind of political weight and social satire is a real common thread between\u00a0Deus Ex\u00a0and\u00a0Dishonored,\u201d Grossman, who co-wrote the Warren Spector-directed hit with Sheldon Pacotti and Chris Todd, recently told\u00a0PC Gamer<\/a>. \u201cIt is the thing that Elon Musk likes, creepily. It is creepily in Elon Musk\u2019s worldview. So that may be its longest, worst legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n
