I thought I would call attention to "Deus Ex: Revision"; a well-tailored, free mod suite available on Steam.

I used it about a year ago and it was a great way to re-experience the classic first game on modern PC hardware with tons of optional tweaks and graphics upgrades to take advantage of.

New PB for Ultimate Run Single Segment. It technically isn't submissible for WR since the game minimized to desktop mid-run, knocking out the game capture, which led to me having to close the game and reopen it. I still had my quicksave and was able to continue the run with the timer intact. Also, the Helios infolink that gives the icarus/panopticon login at the end of Area51 glitched out and didn't play, so I technically never got those credentials. Either way, I now have new and better splits that were made on an otherwise pretty clean (and very fun) run that I can now run against. Next goal is sub 2:15:00.

Well, it's WR in my heart. For the record, here's the official WR (2:24:04, also by PancakeTaicho): https://www.twitch.tv/videos/202350259?t=0h0m1s

Anyways, amazing run and commentary while doing this incredibly tightly choreographed run. If you're a fan of GDQ-style commentary then you'll love this.

Here are the insane rules for the Ultimate Run:

• Realistic Difficulty
• Glitchless / Exploitless
• No augmentations / weapons / inventory / consumable items.
• No use of skill points, money, or bio-electrical energy.
• Doors and security terminals can be used freely, although all used door codes and logins have to be acquired legitimately in-game.
• Ultimate Run The Second adds one more rule: No use of medbots.
• Any saves loaded during the run must have been made during the run.
• A run has to be done in one recording continuous - loading save files is allowed, but the timer can no be reset to a previous state.

The Swedish gaming company Embracer Group AB is canceling a video game in the beloved Deus Ex series after two years of development and will lay off a number of employees as part of an ongoing initiative to cut costs, according to people familiar with the moves.

Eidos, the Montreal, Canada-based studio behind the game, will instead focus on an original franchise. The canceled Deus Ex project, which had not yet been announced, was slated to enter production later this year, said the people, speaking anonymously because they are not authorized to talk to the press.

The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Following a period of massive expansion during the pandemic, Embracer Group has lately been making widespread layoffs, game cancellations and studio closures.

The sci-fi Deus Ex series has been critically acclaimed and sold more than 14 million units worldwide. It was acquired by Embracer in 2022.
