I don't think I'd go for it for ten dollars. I mean, getting the first game alongside it is a sweet deal, but I already have that on Steam.
I mean, from what I've seen the gameplay and story are fine. I don't think it's that long, but whatever.
I don't mind the graphics. I play the first game regularly enough, and I can't get Human Revolution to even work on my laptop.
Controls seem like they'll be fine though. Because, I mean, yay mouse and keyboard.
I don't have it yet, I'm out of cash in my wallet, but I do think it's something I'd be interested in.

It was a free high-quality fan remake of Chrono Trigger for the Nintendo 64. Squ En slapped a C&D on it a day before release.
That's not the only fan project they killed.
Square Enix doesn't seem to have any problems quashing fan projects left and right. They probably only allow a few lucky ones that are suitable to their current interests, and just sit on everything else.

Okay, I mean, he has some good points, but complaining about the graphics of a Deus Ex game is something that I don't quite get. Um. Yeah, what about the first game? It didn't exactly sparkle in 2000. It has not aged gracefully.
I mean, I can agree with and understand everything else there but that still bugs me.

I'm no graphics whore, but for 2014 it does look pretty poor, especially the character models, and even games from 2002 look a lot better. It's worse when you consider that it's a followup to Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which looked fine. They had plenty of time to update the textures as well. If something like Legend of Grimrock managed to look better, you'd expect more fro Eidos. People did criticize the original game's graphics back then as well, but that at least had the excuse of being a very large game. Plus, it's not like he was only criticizing the graphics. If he did, it would have bothered me as well. It's only fair to point out it doesn't look very good for a PC game released in 2014 by a major company who has done better.

For we shall slay evil with logic...I suspect Square-Enix' logic is that Chrono Resurrection, as a fan game, is actual *competition* for their own commercial releases. So, even though its not for purchase, it'd still be costing them money, because people would be playing it rather than playing games sold by Square-Enix.
Which. . . is a hell of a stretch, but if lots of their decisions are being motivated by weird internal politics anyway. . .
Home of CBR Rumbles-in-Exile: rumbles.fr.yuku.comBut the difference is the original Deus Ex had poor graphics as a trade off to allowing them to make the giant sprawling, complex levels the game is remembered for. Here the game looks like shit, and the levels are tiny.
Yeah, the stuff with the way "recoil" works, the tutorial, and map sizes were all really dumb. Surprised they weren't fixed. Wish they were.
...Still don't care much about the graphics though. I mean, I was kinda fine with the PS 2 and Gamecube and X Box era graphically. Kinda wish games had taken those graphics and made games and maps more like the original Deus Ex instead of whatever the fuck they're doing now.

Who said that Jensen never get to meet who invented augmentation? Hugh Darrow made his first CG appearance in Sarif's office floor, and next in Panchaea.
Same as usual.... Wing it.
