    1. They want to appeal to a bigger mass of people which sadly downgrades the whole experience for us unless it has an option to disable it.

    2. It’s an optional feature. Human Revolution had it as well. Don’t like it, then turn it off, simple.

        1. Absolutely agree mate, lets hope it is. For some reason with recent games, developers seem to think everyone has just recently made a huge jump with their PC specs and the requirements are ridiculously high.

          Basically, just a year ago, to get the game running with minimum amount of settings, the requirements were very medium-end cards. Right now, the minimum requirement is usually never below a GTX card. Quite sad really as tons of people don’t have even that kind of power.

  1. Downgrade confirmed and now dev’s make a big deal about
    New Game+ … When I was a kid nes, sega master systems had New Game+ with their games…. WTF lol….

      1. Did you watch the 20+ minute gameplay demo? It looked identical to the press photos were leaked/released. Really, it looked amazing.

        1. It’s close in some aspects.. I blame consoles. The only game on PC that is not showing any signs of downgrade and more like a upgrade over consoles is Metal Gear Phantom Pain. Dealing with textures, lighting, shadows, AA, ect ect.

          1. I don’t think we watched the same thing… because there was no hint of a downgrade in the gameplay demo.

          2. Do you work for EIDOS Montreal? They themselves even said it will be similar but not fully like what was shown at E3. But at least they are saying it now and not after release…

            This own website has the article about it. “Deus Ex: Mankind Divided – Final Build Will Look Similar To The E3 2015 Demo” hit home and go to page 4.

  2. I like how developers now think that giving us “new game plus” is like giving us a massive feature.
    That should be standard in every game nowadays.

    1. Well at least Eidos Montreal aren’t making that big of a deal with it, like giving it away as free dlc or something like that.

  3. Is it me or the hype around this game is almost zero? 🙂 Nobody is talking about it and this is gonna be one of the biggest games of whenever its commin out. In general too. People liked the first one from a few years ago.. this is supposed to be bigger and better. Where is the hype.

    1. Better not hype it and hope for it to be a nice game than be super hyped and get crashed by getting less than u expected

  4. They said there might be compromises, but they’ll try to keep it as close to the E3 reveal as possible. That’s entirely understandable, and making a blanket statement like “downgrade confirmed” is very misleading. Changes do happen in software development; that’s the way it works based on the nature of hardware.

    1. Not really. I mean the game is going to look and play good but it will be no E3 presentation that’s for sure.

        1. I used to say the same thing about games I get hyped about… And it always turns too BS! Only game that will not be a downgrade this year is Metal Gear Phantom Pain on PC. The only freaking game by a nobody dev team in the eyes of PC users yet will show Dev’s around the world WTF they need to do. But guess what.. They won’t. Crytek sold out to consoles, PCDR sold out to consoles, Bioware sold out to consoles, I mean WTF it’s always like they want people to just buy consoles.

          I been gaming on “PC” since 1986 man. And the last 15 years have been BS! The last 3 years have been nothing but downgrades and F’K PC users let’s downgrade and give them poor optimization. Or when you think it’s good optimization it’s because the visuals are not that great and they are straight up console ports 90% of the freaking time.

          1. I don’t think companies “sell out” when they decide to go multiplatform, rather I think that’s a disadvantage of multiplatform development itself… that is it always caters to the lowest common denominator, in this case the weakest console the game is running on. It’s a fair cost-cutting business decision I suppose, but what needs to be done is to at least make sure things work properly on PC, just to avoid another Arkham Knight fiasco. I have faith in Nixxes though; they are generally good with their PC ports as shown in DXHR and Hitman Absolution. For me, the game being a mere port isn’t an issue as much as it being a “bad” one. I can do without any fancy PC-exclusive visual features and all that, but the game should work as intended out of the box,
