    One of my favourite things about the remake is that the guides for the original '94 game are still helpful.
    Yes, the decapitated head you need for a retinal scanner is still in the same location!

      Nightdive is known for being extremely faithful to the originals in all the games it remakes, warts and all. Remakes are pretty much all they do. Ofc that also means that all the same frustrations from the original, except the ancient UI, are also still present.

      So are the Isolinear Chips and the C-4. Some stuff, like the computer node on Storage, is noticably changed and can throw you off your routine first time through.

      This may be a bit pedantic, but the only outright remake Nightdive has made is System Shock (the one in this video). The rest are remasters, like Turok or Blade Runner, and the one they're doing for System Shock 2.

      It's a long time since I played it, but I remember the stealth gameplay was not great, with all enemies on the map instantly knowing where you were when you failed to drop someone in a single hit.
      But that is something you can easily look past, I reckon, as the story and atmosphere is _sooo good._

    • @ArawnOfAnnwn
      @ArawnOfAnnwn Рік тому +3

      ​@@R0ssMM The story is good. I wouldn't call the atmosphere good. Human Revolution did beat the original in several respects, and art direction, music and atmosphere are some of them. The original doesn't really feel like much tbh, and JC Denton is basically cardboard next to Adam Jensen. So are the rest of the NPCs in the original next to Human Revolution. Human Revolution also has a good story. I'd say it's at least equal to that of the original.

      @SaulGoodman3D2049 Рік тому +6

      ⁠​⁠@@ArawnOfAnnwn Deus Ex 1's story is incredibly timeless and prescient, the intro cutscene alone predicted certain world leaders' response to a certain worldwide unUA-camfriendly event to mention. The game artfully balanced over-the-top conspiracy theories with style and humor. Human Revolution's main conflict is between idiots who are basically anti-medicine run by the Illuminati and Sarif "No government regulation on augs, nightmare cannons for everyone!" Industries. While the game raises some points of its own like the ways augs could facilitate worker exploitation, it's barely explored and the game's most prominent critique of augs is the completely emotional argument of it taking away "soul" and humanity "not being meant to play God" (and the people saying this, again, are being controlled by the Illuminati) rather than any really valid critique. There's just no comparison.
      Also JC Denton isn't meant to be incredibly deep and well characterized yes, because Ion Storm had a design philosophy of the player's agency being put above all else. He spoke for himself occasionally but otherwise he was a blank slate for the player to project themselves in and make him do all the cool stuff all on their own. Jensen unfortunately doesn't get the same treatment, making choices on his own all the time and being more of a character with his own agency in the story, which unfortunately takes away from the player's. Not to mention the many times where he becomes suddenly incompetent in cutscenes without the player's input, because they couldn't think of any way to drive the story forward otherwise. That's something the original game never did. If you made mistakes, it's something you could have fixed or prevented with a little bit of planning.

    It's a real shame that Shamus Young never got a chance to play this game before he died. He was a huge fan of the original, he was eagerly anticipating the release of this remake, and he was even one of the crowdfunding backers. A pity. He should have had the chance to experience this for himself, and write about it on his blog.
