A debug mode! How’d you guess?
A mod has been released for the game that gives the PC gamer access to all kinds of tweaks for the title, from the important (like skipping those unskippable intro splash screens) to the enjoyable (cheats like infinite energy) to the cosmetic (turning off the HUD).
You can even pick a level to skip straight to from the main menu of the game. All of which is perfect for my impending second playthrough, where I’m going to use double takedowns on every single character in the game until I’m Adam Jensen, the last half-man-half-elbow-knives on Earth.

Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 5:35 PMExactly. I’m sure the assets already exist in hires form, it’d be nice for them to offer them as an optional download.
Then again, given the state of the industry and DLC, they’d probably charge for it…

Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 4:52 PMNice to see, really enjoyed the game though I think the original was a little better in some way. Certainly it is head and shoulders above any FPS from the last generation. I would love to be able to play through it with some cheats/mods to have some fun with though.

Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 5:02 PMAm I the only one who wasn’t bothered by the fuzzy cut scenes?

Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 5:04 PMI’m not bothered, but could be because I’m running in 1366×768 on a 11″ screen.

Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 12:11 AMthis is the first ive heard of people being disappointed. im still finishing it, just got to lower asiatown, im very impressed with the graphics, and the cutscenes do the job fine. then again my computer didnt cost 1200 bucks, if it did, i’d probably want more as well

Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 5:22 PM^ All version of the game use steam. and yes, the cut scenes looked horrible, like last gen splinter cell stuff or something. Totally not acceptable, especially after the amazing CG trailer, that was just a tease.

Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 9:07 PMWhat about a patch to make the game actually work properly? I’m on a 3.6ghz E8200 OC and an HD5770 and I get a grand total of about 20FPS with every effect turned off (except Vsync, otherwise every frame is torn) at 1680×1050.

Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 9:23 PMOK, that was my fault. Verifying Steam’s cache fixed this perfectly. :)

Provided I was also on Nvidia, nope sorry Deus Ex on PC was pretty decent.

Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 10:51 PMYeah it was decent save for all those graphical glitches that came with the game being a poorly done console port with DX11 features tacked on as an afterthought.

Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 12:08 AMOther than the visual glitches, performance wise it wasn’t too bad, which is really what matters in the end.
