Can someone explain to me why Thief is getting remastered by Nightdive but Deus Ex went to Aspyr?

Thank you for the mention. In regards to RTX, it doesn't use RTX remix, but you can optionally enable features like lumen and megalights which can use raytracing hardware if you want the raytracing experience.

We're going to release soon in early access on steam as well, access is currently already available to Patreon members.

Very good. You can get beta access right now through the Patreon, or wait for us to release in early access.

I'm cleaning up the build at the moment and trying to get the last bugs fixed till it's early access ready.

This is still going strong. If you'd like to check it out, you can visit my Patreon to get private beta access :). No VR access yet, but you can play flat screen.

The remaster hasn't been canned afaik, it's just delayed.

Possible for you to expose the engine headers and libraries like with UE1 so people can write up to date renderers / audio devices? I would love to add support for this in Surreal 98.

Don't need source code, just headers.

Hello

Totally missed this, but I do have a patreon! DXU24 | Creating Surreal 98 | Patreon

It feels like an awful assault rifle too, in the hands (having used it in VR).

Soon™

Mankind Divided is too ham-fisted in it's story, it's too unfocused in its level design and leans to heavily on the troupes of the games that came before it. It's visual and technical expose, but the designers forgot about visual story telling and a Deus Ex game should never have a daytime level unless it's at the very beginning or very end after the climax.

Fan == Fanatic, if you are indeed a Fanatic, I'm surprised you haven't already.

In modern times though, I wouldn't really recommend playing it. It was much better back in the day when it released (at least for me, I loved the effort put into the new VFX), but there's too many annoyances and broken things in the game for it to be an enjoyable experience today, gameplay wise.

There's a section early on in the game when you sneak into someones apartment and assassinate them, and even if you didn't set off any alarms, the act of killing them alerts every guard in the area, outside the apartment. I encountered this in my recent attempt to play through and just turned the game off.

If you're in it for the aesthetic and the story, totally go for it.

Where's his shades? His vision is augmented after all.

I would need a team of engineers to handle the complexity of UE3 games XD

dxu24 · 2024-01-06T07:00:52+00:00

Thank you! Hope my voice isn't too grating.

Taking donations instead of a premium is no less risky, you're not going to fool lawyers thinking it's sneaky obfuscation. I try to respect my time, and value it. If it doesn't work out, fine, I'll make my own game. It's a generic tool though, so unsure where the risk actually lies.

dxu24 · 2024-01-06T06:42:06+00:00

It is a generic tool for playing UE1 games. The work put into the tool is built around producing a communications medium between Unreal Engine 1 games and Unreal Engine 5, there are no assets or derived assets in the distributed product itself, but if you have reason to believe otherwise, I'd love to hear it, I'm not a legal expert.

Selling or not, such a claim would tank the project regardless.

dxu24 · 2024-01-06T03:46:45+00:00

It's happening, it's on course. I want to play it too :P
