The man behind the GMDX mod for Deus Ex has revealed a new version that will be released this December. GMDX is a mod for Deus Ex that enhances the gaming experience, from gameplay to audio design to graphics, while maintaining strict respect for the original game’s identity and essential design principles.
The previous version of GMDX overhauled the game’s Artificial Intelligence, Audio Design, Graphics, User Interface and other crucial gameplay elements. This upcoming version, will focus on the enhancing the game’s artistic direction.
Furthermore, GMDX version 9.0 will feature additional graphical improvements such as new high resolution textures, a bunch of new 3D models,updated augmentation graphics effects, toned down and further polished gore effects and a new optional realistic headbobbing effect.
And if that wasn’t enough, GMDX will further improve Artificial Intelligence, mantling, physics, and it will feature an updated User Interface.
We strongly suggest visiting the official website of this mod in order to read more about the changes that will be coming with this upcoming release.

Awesome news! GMDX is great! 😀
To all who haven’t played Deus Ex in a while, or think Revision is the best mod for it, I urge you to try GMDX.
Revision is garbage changes a few levels but thats about it, he never finished it and the gameplay is awful.
Does this mean i need to restart my playthrough?
No you finish your current playthrough and then start another one when GMDX v9.0 is released! 🙂
By far. The biggest thing about GMDX is that levels have none of those vast empty spaces that made DX feel rushed back then (which it was) with more reasons to use underused skills. Revision felt to be little more than texture pack compared
Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed with this mod. It is extremely faithful to the design philosophy of the original DX, just updates it to bring it up to the highest standards. Everything that made DX brilliant is intact — choice-driven RPG elements, exceptional level design, and the neo-noir cyberpunk slum atmosphere is all intact and only tweaked to make it perfect (e.g. balancing augs/skills, fixing pathing for various builds etc). The things that were broken or unfinished in DX that everyone likes to forget about, like the atrocious AI, clunky gunplay, drab environments, and bugs? All fixed, and increasingly better in each edition.
Revision failed because the developers didn’t take the core experience into account. They tried to update the levels with new looks and geometry, but it was inconsistently applied, and frequently went against what Deus Ex was supposed to be. GMDX is so reverent to the original game that I honestly can recommend it over every version, including vanilla to new players and veterans alike.
Great to hear – I was leaning towards GMDX, but I was still wondering about Revision. Now my choice is set in stone 🙂
This x1000
revision does not improve gameplay this does. it does alter some levels but very very slightly.
This is amazing news. This is the best mod out there for DX already.
A thousand times better. Trust us, take it for a spin. You’ll be amazed.
I own this game but have yet to play it, I will wait for this to release. Then play it. It gets rave reviews so I hope I am in for a treat!
On a current play through with GMDX alongside Mankind Divided, it’s f*cking great.
