Aspyr's remaster of Deus Ex earned a fair bit of opprobrium (including from me) when it was revealed in September, and, well, that looks set to continue. Jerry O'Flaherty, art director on the original Deus Ex, gave his reaction to the remaster during a recent sit-down with FRVR. It did not seem positive.
"Oh, what the fuck," said O'Flaherty. "No. This did not need to happen. Sorry whoever was involved in this. Oh man, yeah, no." So not exactly a thumbs-up, there. Still, O'Flaherty does—sort of—get a bit more positive. "If you’re gonna do it, yeah, alright, why not? Why am I judging?" Which is less approval so much as it is resignation to the whims of fate.
