Aspyr have indefinitely delayed Deus Ex Remastered
15 Dec 2025 at 12:53 pm UTC

Quoting: 14Do any of the complainers explain what they want it to look like? Or is that a guessing game? I can't tell if people want it to look retro with higher resolution, or if they want it to look like Space Marine 2 fidelity.
Sure, here's a low effort example:

Speaking of Oblivion, here's another fun fact that I'm sure consoomers here will find to be 'fine' aswell. This Deus Ex 'remaster' has the same GPU recommended system requirements as Oblivion remake.

Quoting: PyrateStatements like these are one of the reasons why we'll never get game as good as Deus Ex again.
Ehh... come on now; you know that's a wild exaggeration.
I said one of, not the only reason out there.

Quoting: LinasThe style was fine. Also, you can just play the original, if you prefer that. Some people just need to complain about everything.
Consumerism. The 'remaster' looks genuinely worse than the original game from the year 2000. Also it costs (more) money, of course people will be critical.

Statements like these are one of the reasons why we'll never get game as good as Deus Ex again.

This is positive news, you'll now get a better product due to the feedback.

Quoting: mylkahow much is VALVE contributing?
since the steam deck and soon steam machine,
The Frame uses Plasma too !

Quoting: GerarderloperTechnically Valve don't use Plasma, its just a fallback DE which they could use GNOME or anything else.
SteamOS is built with Plasma, it's not a fallback, its their desktop DE of choice.

The Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless mouse is a great reasonably priced pick

What I can't figure out is how stagnant the budget wireless headset market is. It has been the case for like 3 years now that the Logitech G435 is the best (also the only) option at the given price range. It's as if the other brands don't even intend to compete in this sector, leading to the G435 occasionally having erratic price hikes; I got the better one G535 off Currys for 55 quid, no sale, just the regular price at the time. Then a couple years later I found the worse one G435 for 60 quid in the same retailer. Strange.

They're two steps ahead.

Half-Life Legacy arrives December 12 but you'll need Proton on Linux due to Native Linux issues

Thanks for clearing that up! ;)

No, seriously: Thanks both for your opinions!
It honestly comes down to how you view these things, if you consider them as a work of art or as mass produced fastfood-tier entertainment.

Quoting: EikeLet me take this opportunity...
What would be the best way to get into HL nowadays?
First, you need to possess the ability to count.
Afterwards, you play Half-Life, then Half-Life 2.

Quoting: EikeWould that be Black Mesa then?
Absolutely not. Black Mesa is a terrible choice for a first time player. Playing Black Mesa ruins at least half of the experience of Half-Life 2 when you get to it, since it uses the same engine to remake the first game. It breaks the fundamental ways Half-Life and Half-Life 2 were meant to be played.

Black Mesa is for fans who have already experienced the games for what they are.

Valve's version of Android on Linux (based on Waydroid) is now called Lepton

Is there any indication of this working differently than Waydroid when it comes to ARM-only APKs ? Currently on Waydroid, only x64 APKs work, ARM ones work only after installing an inadequate emulator.
