I've never been at Liberty Island or seen it, so I didn't know it looked that boring in reality. :) I just thought it's going to look kinda weird when HDTP and NV are on, high res characters with high res world textures, and then the level is so big and detailless. Are there actually walls everywher...

"Lying to you"...maybe I misunderstood you, but I'm not deliberately "lying", if you think that. And I don't see why you have to drag politics into that. Arguing with you is kinda fun, but now I think I'd rather talk about plasma rifles or something. I agree that it's cool, but it's not DX! What was...

Lol, you're really taking that stuff waaay to seriously.

That picture pretty much sums up that discussion

It's amazing how much negativity we get from the few bits that have been released so far. I mean come on people. Adam Jensen kinda looks like JC Denton, so we already have a cool looking main character which should please the "ZOMG Alex D looks like a ladyboy" crowd that crept out of the shadows whe...

Dx3 takes place like 25 years before Dx. Did the plagues and whatnot already ravage the world at that point? And we've never seen how Shanghai looked at the time of Dx so we can't really say it's not fitting how it looks now. As for the styles, they can change pretty quickly, just compare the eighti...

IIRC Deus Ex was supposed to take part in some kind of recession, or downfall or however you call it, so it'd make sense for things to look better in a prequel.

I hope bloom gets really useable. Normal mapping is and all but bloom is a really great addition since Dx has harsh bright/dark contrasts and bloom looks really fitting there on all those neon billboards and stuff.

But Ghost in the Shell probably has quite a different take on augs. The DX mech augs seem a lot more clunky and inelegant, difficulty to conceal and very very nasty. We've only ever seen combat augs in the original Dx, like on Gunther or Anne Navarre or that Bartender in New York, stuff like artifi...

So it's not really feasable. That's just what I wanted to know, thanks

God, you people don't seem what I mean. :) First as already said(the second time now) I just used Liberty Island as an example. If it's perfect as it is, I am sure there are other areas in Deus Ex that could benefit from that kind of treatment. Maybe at least. No one is talking about changing the le...

Kinda cool, although the effects on the walls in the sickbay are pretty strong. But hopefully with the correct custom normal maps it's going to look better.

The lighting on that NSF guy looks really good, is that per-pixel-lighting?

I was just using Liberty Island as example since it's so empty, but there's a bunch of other places like that too. I haven't been there so I don't know if it's that dull in reality too. I didn't propose huge changes like adding new architecture or anything, so it'll remain pretty dull if you like th...

Think 'Ghost in the Shell', people.

Too bad, but maybe getting bloom and normal mapping on level geometry is cool enough. The Way it is now HDTP and NV are beyond anything I ever imagined possible for the DX engine :lol: And who knows what's yet to come...maybe the only way to finish this mod is to work faster than they can throw new ...

Just had an idea. There are certain areas like Liberty Island which will look terrible no matter what high res textures, normal maps and whatnot get crammed into the game, partly due to the fact that they're huge and empty . Modifying the level geometry is probably out of question, since there's eno...
