again videogames.de fails

for the deus ex screens you need more than texture mods, you also needs the upgraded directx10 renderer for deus ex to achieve those screens

links for deus ex graphics mods:

textures:

models:

directx10:

(with this renderer you can enable anti aliasing, anisitropic filtering, more vibrant lightning, alpha transparency)

but the screens on videogames.de are textures with Parallax mapping taken from a modders website, and he hasn't released that mod yet

The Alyx mod makes her look cheap.

tdrules5851d ago

on Cinematic Mod there's the option to use the default character models with upgraded textures.
It's what I use

STONEY45851d ago

"The Alyx mod makes her look like a cheap whore."

fixed.

fossilfern5851d ago

any have the link to that crysis texture mod ?

ultramoot5851d ago

How much more hardware power does the realism mod in Crysis need over the original? Is it something like twice as much??

wicko5851d ago

Nowhere near twice as much. In fact some mods exist to make the game look better than the vanilla version while improving performance.

Vip3r5851d ago

Some of them look like min graphics vs maz graphics.

dirthurts5851d ago

Is a huge improvement when you use it. There are also mods that change the dept that textures and foliage render too.

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

djl3485382d ago

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_92382d ago

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil382d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb382d ago (Edited 382d ago )

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

One of my biggest art heroes. His work and vision were truly one of a kind, and he’s been a huge inspiration to my own work. Such a heartbreaking loss.

Deeeeznuuuts464d ago

Remember seeing Dishonored for the first time when it released, fell in love with the art style straight away, so striking! And because of it, still holds up and will for years to come, RIP Viktor

JEECE464d ago

Yep I remember seeing some of the earliest concept art for Dishonored and hearing that the art director of Half-Life 2 was working on it and being excited.

And you are absolutely right, each of those games (HL2 and Dishonored) has a distinct art style that stands the test of time.

Relientk77464d ago

So sad to hear this. I absolutely love the Dishonored series and love the world and art style. It looks great and unique. I'm still hoping for a Dishonored 3

rokos464d ago

RIP Viktor love your work

Ethereal464d ago

Damn... Dishonored has such amazing art. RIP.

Playing it right now looks amazing! :D
so much fun, i hope they make a vr mod for crysis 2 / 3 too!

DivineHand125487d ago

This is amazing. This is the direction VR should go in to boost adoption. Since I have beaten every Crysis except 1, this is now a good excuse to correct that problem.
