Re: Stylization vs Detail (continued for the Revision thread
I must have forgotten those things were there in the armoury, thanks for reminding me.

Re: Stylization vs Detail (continued for the Revision thread
When an artist faces this kind of crap, it's hard enough, but when you turn down something and the person says "hey wait a minute, what's wrong with it?" and have their camps of supporters that think it's just fine (the inevitable next step is releasing the turned-down image themselves), you're jus...

Re: Stylization vs Detail (continued for the Revision thread
Yeah there are ways and means you can turn down someone's work while remaining polite and not insulting them. It's definitely understandable that free mods are going to have many challenges by virtue of doing work for no financial payoff and that often they rely upon volunteers willing to do work fo...

Re: Stylization vs Detail (continued for the Revision thread
Since this has become a topic about HDTP/New Vision, I figured I would weigh in. I think both mods have good things in them and there are quite a few scenes in the game where they look good. Yes, they aren't 1:1 authentic and the grittiness added to some New Vision textures and some artistic liberti...

Re: Stylization vs Detail (continued for the Revision thread
I think that if you have a problem with his posts you should try to counter the arguments he presents, like how ggrotz and Cybernetic Pig have done, instead of strawmanning and using ad hominen(like tipping his fedora and making attempts to convert people to his opinion, when all he ever did was try...

Re: GMDX v8.0 Release Date Revealed
Bit nervous releasing this considering what's going down in the other thread. Don't worry, you're on the right track so far, and I've played previous versions of your mod so I know that you have a good grasp on gameplay mechanics. You certainly won't have the problems Revision has. Also I did play ...

Re: Deus Ex Revision is 2 days away
Regarding Kim Wincen's claims about atmosphere, well, he's right. Partially. Whenever Trasher had the time and could build everything from the ground up, the result was pretty good - Hell's Kitchen, from being 2 blocks and a park, became a real neighborhood, and I think it was pretty memorable. I a...

Re: Deus Ex Revision is 2 days away
1. This in the quote. The Revision team did not communicate very well that a lot of what is in their package is third-party things provided by other developers. This is what resulted in the confusion you illustrated as well as the support questions I've been getting over the new HDTP release regard...

Re: "Improving Deus Ex's Graphics With Mods" - Any updates?
Actually D3D9 makes the game look darker, the real problem anyone would have with Direct X 10 render would probably be the over saturated lighting, although classic lighting offsets this a bit.

Re: Deus Ex Revision is 2 days away
The problem is not in the basketball court, the problem is how the basketball court was made nonsensical, with two chairs and a streetlight placed inside it. Somehow such obvious problems with the design have been missed by most positive reviews.

Re: Deus Ex Revision is 2 days away
You know what? This mod is great. Awesome level design everywhere, those turrets in the liquor shop totally make sense, as does the small basketball court in Hell's Kitchen. Music is superb too. There were some bugs but overall this mod is 10/10. I hope this review was "useful and constructive" enou...

Re: Deus Ex Revision is 2 days away
Kim Wincen? Who is Kim Winchen? Who knows, who cares. I've seen some of bits of the video and all I can say is that guy is really, really desperate. Anyone could make same style video of the original Deus Ex. Or heck you can pick up any game and make a similar video. It's not hard. Did you watch th...

Re: Deus Ex Revision is 2 days away
Anyway, Trasher, the point still stands: better, proper actually constructive criticism for the mod, made by better people, can be found elsewhere. I wish you luck, my friend. 8) Where exactly? Are you going to say Steam, just because it has 75% or so rating there? Even there the reviews with the m...

Re: Deus Ex Revision is 2 days away
Did you even watch those videos, because a lot of the points he brings up aren't subjective. Yes, you like the mod, great, that doesn't mean it should be held above scrunity or that the opinions of others over it should be dismissed simply because they don't like the mod.

Re: Deus Ex Revision is 2 days away
I don't remember you criticizing this mod, you only gave glowing praise to it. Kim Wincen thoroughly covered the failings of the mod in his ongoing video series, and he enables HDTP and New Vision and explains why he doesn't like them in the second video of the playlist. Here it is: https://www.yout...
