This week on DF Retro, John takes a look back one of the greatest PC games of all time – Deus Ex. Then we jump over and examine its port on PlayStation 2 – a …
I remember having to edit the Unreal.ini file to force this game into 320×200 resolution so my 2mb video card could run the game (at maybe 15fps?).
Growing up with consoles i actualy played on the PS2 for a long time before i saw the PC version XD
Maybe I am missing something but how can a game like gta san andreas have these huge open world areas with a lot of stuff going on but this game has to break the areas into separate chunks in order to run on the system? The graphics of this game arent that good either compared to san andreas or some other open world games on the ps2…
I had no idea there was a good version of Deus Ex on PS2
Apparently Deus Ex and I share our birthdays
Brilliant video! Deus Ex has been my favourite all time game since its release in 2000. I picked it up day of release for PC and have completed it SO many times I know the game inside out, it's like an old friend. I never had a PS2 so never played that version so this was really interesting to see. It looks like the Ps2 version also had alternate animations for enemy deaths; I saw one NSF agent in the video fall to his knees and crumple when dying rather than just go still and fall like on PC. I'm gonna have to hunt down that PS2 intro though, it looks really cool.
I replayed the game earlier this year actually with the Revisited mod and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Having gone through the game so many times I found the new additions to the game maps really fun and I really enjoyed the graphical improvements too.
17 years later and still most games dont use detail textures

Deus Ex is the best game of all time. Thief the Dark Project is second. Fight me.
where the fuck is malkavian mod?
This is crazy to me. I played and love all those games, didn't know I was following one designer.

I'll take a crisp high resolution image over a slightly more detailed environment running at 20fps any day.
That fucking music 🎶 how memorable is that.
F… sake… Every time I see some info about this game, I need to re-install it and play again… thanks mate
Damn, this makes me wish i had picked it up when i had a ps2
DF retro is absolutaly brilliant. Loved every single episode to date!
ah yes, the times where you had actual pc titles that did things a console couldn't. now we only get stuff that you can also have on a console, which is way less and way shittier. thanks for that console!
I played through and loved Mankind Divided and Human Revolution. Just bought this one for my ps2. Really pumped to play it.
The PlayStation 2 version plays like ass I first played on PC then got it later on PS2 and felt like I was ripped off, also the PS2 has a horrid digital to analog converter for the display out so everything has a stupid haze over it making any games look like ass when played on a NON CRT
prod with the prod
You forgot to mention taht you can use a USB keyboard and mouse with the PS2 Deus Ex Port, there are just weird controls and no key rebinding. Also, would it have killed you to maybe just do a few more takes instead of just trying to read it verbatim in one shot?
Give Me Deus Ex has now released version 9.0 and it's a huge improvement over 8.0 🙂
One thing I didn't like about the PS2 port, was the slight change in dialogue in the intro. He says "let the bodies pile up in the streets" instead of "Schools and churches" which kind of makes the intro characters sound less evil.
It's $1.39 during this summer sale. Get it while it lasts, even if you're jaded for graphics at that price there's literally nothing to lose.
My favorite game of all time 🙂
PLEASE PLEASE do a retro episode on the Wing Commander series! One of the greatest PC games from the 90's and a huge groundbreaker in 3d graphics.
