During the State of Play, Deus Ex Remastered was announced, exciting some players, while others continue to wait for a rework rather than an upgraded version. Along with price discussions, specifications for PC also came into focus. The adventure that began on PC in 2000 later appeared on Mac OS and PlayStation 2. In the first game, where we played as a secret agent named JC Denton, we were exploring a world shaped by cybernetic advancements while uncovering a conspiracy involving a pandemic and corporate interests.
This structure, reprised with echoes of the past today, offers nostalgia to those who remember, while also raising questions about how a new version is received. Even if we assume it is an upgraded version, the high system requirements for PC continue to be a topic of debate.
The PC system requirements for Deus Ex Remastered go beyond expectations. The original game could run with an Intel Pentium II 300 MHz processor, 64 MB of RAM, and a 16 MB graphics card. However, the recommended configurations for the remastered version are striking: a Ryzen 7 or i7 level processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a Radeon RX 6750 or RTX 2080 class graphics card. This difference offers a power that can compete with modern games and causes confusion.
The recommended PC requirements for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided include an Intel Core i7-3770K or AMD FX 8350 processor, 16 GB RAM, and a Radeon RX 480 or GTX 970 graphics card. Such a comparison increases curiosity about which technologies are used in the remastered version compared to this. Currently, there is no official statement from Aspyr on this matter; however, it is expected that more detailed information will be provided with the PC trailer to be released close to the game’s launch.
