    We could use a proper remake of the original Deus Ex. One of the all time greats in the FPS RPG genre.

    Thief would be good too, but currently KCD2 is mostly satisfying that itch despite stealth not being it’s main focus.

      The cry engine was asking for dues ex to be remade in it, but sadly that’s never happened. A true missed opportunity.

      Keep an eye out for Surreal 98. It translates Unreal Engine 1 games to Unreal Engine 5 as they run in the background. The main attraction will be the eventual VR support, though the improved graphics are very much worth it too. There’s an early access build on steam. No VR support yet, but Deus Ex already looks lovely.

      I played it a bit. Liberty island looks exactly as I remember it from back then, which is to say a LOT better than the original. But man, Hong Kong, with all the neons and water and everything, it’s exquisite.

      Maybe one day we’ll get Surreal 98 :’)

      Not necessarily a remake but the engine fixes look nice.
