The reception so far doesn't exactly seem too positive, the YouTube comments are filled with complaints about how it looks. Same with the Steam forum, although that's not surprising, the Steam forums are often a mess on a lot of games. You're probably going to be unimpressed with me at this point, but I actually haven't played the original. I know, I know - there's still so many classics I haven't found the time for. Big fan of the modern games though, shame we won't see a proper conclusion.
Worth noting that the original Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition is currently less than £1 on Steam until September 29th. And, if you pair it up with the Deus Ex: Revision mod, you're already getting a pretty good looking and much loved community remaster.

I haven't played Deus Ex either, and I was conflicted between choosing vanilla, Revision and GMDX. Now comes this.
Obviously vanilla for first time playthrough. You're out to start with the actual game, not someone else's version of it.

If they make the controls a little less floaty, and non-lethal gameplay a little less impossibly difficult (?!), that would be improvement enough, IMHO. Also eliminating the need for Kent's launcher, which has done great service over the years making the game playable on newer systems of course.
DX was an imbalanced game when it came out with branches in the skill tree that didn't make sense, very strange damage points for the weapons, and even stranger upgrade paths -- but IMHO, all of that contributed to it feeling less like a homogenized playground experience and a bit more like a sim. So I hope they don't go around over-correcting too much.
edit -- oh, and the ridiculously over the top accents for the locals in Hong Kong & Paris -- don't ever change them; I mean, they were so funny no one ever got offended by them, I don't think.
