This game really is a dinosaur fossil with all of its bones intact. I spent sooooooooooooooooooooo much time trying to figure out where's the door which gives me acces to the police station, I could have done entire maps of other RPG-s in that time. I dont think I've ever seen a bigger and more confusing layout in a game than Hong Kong.
One of the happier tracks from DX. Just made me run around Hon Kong's lively center just to hear this awesome music. Of course if you're good you quickly pick the lock of the small police office and get on a roof to hide. Fun, then you discover you wasted a lockpick for nothing valuable inside it, aside the angry person. And you gotta hear "Hong Kong Action" for a few seconds, too. Priceless moment.
Considering that there's no HK flags in Deus Ex, only PRC flags proves they were very much ahead of the curve. Hong Kong is rightfully part of the PRC.
It's overpriced as hell Still, fun city I don't think Beats do you much good with this era of music, as it's not mastered. It's just an XM file literally. With all the harsh goodness that comes, and all the bad too
I've just started playing DX : Human Revolution last week, and whenever I hear or see a nod to DX1 (like hearing the UNATCO HQ theme in the intro), I feel so nostalgic about it... But I just finished Deus Ex this summer! I don't even...
This song manages to convey so much at the same time: Asianness - You are in Hong Kong and it may be the cyberpunk future, but it's still exotic and Chinese. You're far from home. Wonder - The Wan Chai market is a much different place than the depressing run-down New York that JC Denton is familiar with. It's more lively and safe than anywhere in the USA. Futurism - The instrumentation is either electronic, or distorted versions of traditional Asian instruments, reminding you that you are in a high-tech world. Sadness - Like pretty much all of the songs on the soundtrack, there's a mournful quality that laments the world that was thrown away.
GAH I played this game so many years ago and I was playing mankind divided and I was like I know this radio song from somewhere. 30 minutes later it just occurred to me. How could I forget this.
I remember getting lost on purpose so that I could continue to listen to this song. Deus Ex is the quite simply, amazing. A true masterpiece and work of art.
I just started playing this game recently (yes for the first time) and I gotta say the most impressive part of it is the music. This game has one of the best soundtracks I have heard in a long time.
It's all tracked music. Here's a reply to a comment you left literally 9 years ago. Here's a link to learn more about this lost art: ua-cam.com/video/roBkg-iPrbw/v-deo.html
Please tell me, why do i find atleast 1 or 2 guys with a JC profile pic in almost every video i watch?! All the same too! Dark background, looking to the left, is it some kind of trend or something? Dont get me wrong, I LOVE IT! But it is so strange, coincidence? Really love seeing this game still got some fame! Man... This game is great.
TheJayson8899 They're just generally boring to explore and don't feel lively unlike the first game and many other games with a similar kind of level design.
***** Agreed, they also felt very tedious to get around and just rather uninteresting. Also the point in the game where there's supposed to be a huge riot going on was crap, you never saw anything on the streets going around. It was empty like usual. The original 11 years earlier when Battery Park is under marshal law later in the game felt way more lively and had actually gone to shit. 11 years later and you can't recapture a similar thing? pretty pathetic.
TheJayson8899 while not the same genre or even a decent game, Hitman Absolution managed to get down a lively atmosphere in the crowded levels. Sleeping Dogs is another good example of lively atmospheres in a city kind of game.
I remember when I first played this game not long ago around October of 2000 on my computer. At that time, Windows ME was the latest and greatest operating system out there.
Best fucking game ever made, absolutely beautifully and carefully crafted and executed. I enjoy all types of games and shit but this one... Damn. Since then only Dishonored came close to what I felt while playing Deus Ex but not in the same way...
I'd gladly pay full price for a graphical overhaul of the original Deus Ex. No changes to level design, no tweaks in story, no additional content, gameplay etc, just an update. Are you listening @EidosMontreal?

With the head bob in the game it always made me think JC was bumping it side to side with this track.
I used to do a goofy little dance with the lean, jump and then finish with a full mouse spin. Still do it when i get there in a new playthrough.

I will be honest. I couldn’t finish any of the sequels because of their inferiority. This is an unforgettable game with unforgettable story and music

human revolution is second best to this imo
True
I tried the new ones before playing the Original and couldnt play them, now after playing the original i absolutely cannot play the newer ones
I've been looking for this song for a good 5 months or so after I couldn't get it out of my head. I am so grateful that the search is finally over 😭
Crazy that this video was uploaded closer to the games release date than todays
i love how you can hear out the Depeche Mode influences throughout the soundtrack.
Such a quaint little song
Happy Chinese New Year 2021! Year of the Ox.

Never will i forget my first experience of Deus Ex. Best game ever made in my book and this song underlines that fact. Epic.
This music is not from this world, it is so magnificent that mere words can't describe it. More games need this, if not all
This + hearing the UNATCO theme for the first time transports me back to childhood.
Please...... look around.
"JC Denton - in the fresh!"
20+ years... Never get's old!
Deus Ex can be described in three words. Absolutely, Undeniably Awesome.
The sounds of vase & dishes breaking often follow this type of music in my head

Sure as hell better than the China music from HR. Not that HR's music is bad. It's good but less varied and a bit more boring compared to this.

I used to do an in-game dance. Changing my look direction to the minor notes and jumping and moving back and forth. Awesome.
Reminds me of investing points in swimming, because that flooded tunnel was terrifying.

As a Hong Konger
I can confirm this is how Hong Kong sounds like before 2010
*SouljaBoy Technologies HQ* right next to *VersaLife* building. Look it up, it's there.
Oh hell yes, that melody. Brings a tear to my eye. It's so perfect too after the drama of escaping from the heli hangar.
Exactly, it's so relieving to finally hear it after returning from a Versalife mission or crawling half-dead out of the hangar.
Hands down one of the best games in 2000, the soundtrack was killer good and will last for the rest of my life in my head.
