    A multi-month delay for Deus Ex turned into a huge payoff for one of its best characters, says designer Harvey Smith

    Nobody likes game delays. Sure, a delay is temporary and suck is forever , as Gabe Newell once said, but it still chafes. But sometimes a little extra development time can go a very long way. In a new interview with the NoClip podcast , immersive sim maestro Harvey Smith shared o

    In 1997, Warren Spector told us the upcoming PC classic Deus Ex was inspired by Final Fantasy, Miyamoto, and 'the console guys'

    Last year for Christmas, a good friend got me the best gift of all: Love The Orange Box the 1997 PC Gamer US "Holiday Extravaganza" issue , 456 pages of news, reviews, interviews, and, crucially, retro full page ads from the late '90s golden age of PC gaming... Read more.

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution could've had a track from the original game's composer but it was rejected for not being the 'right fit,' and in hindsight he says they were right

    Deus Ex is just so damn great . I know we say that a lot around here, but you can never say it enough, so I'm saying it again: Deus Ex is great . One of the greatest ever. And one of the most distinctive elements of that greatness is its soundtrack, which like the game itself is

    It's brutal out there: Deus Ex and Unreal composer says he's submitted 50 resumes and gotten one interview in the last year

    If you don't pay close attention to game credits you may not know the name Alexander Brandon, but you've almost certainly heard his work. The composer of Deus Ex's soundtrack has some 30 years of games to his name as a musician (Unreal, Stormgate), audio director (Wasteland 3, Ne

    Deus Ex's art director says ugly new remaster "did not need to happen"

    Deus Ex is one of those series that would break the internet should a new entry ever get revealed. It sounds like we came close, but Embracer reportedly scrapped a new Deus Ex back in 2024 before it even entered full production. The original paved the way for so many of the brill

    Deus Ex's influence on Elon Musk 'may be its longest, worst legacy,' says its writer

    Elon Musk thinks Deus Ex is " one of the best games ever ". It's not exactly a hot take. But his taste in games also displays an impressive lack of self-awareness. Musk sees himself as an outsider and heroic figure taking on the status quo, despite being the world's richest man,

    You can thank John Romero's hard-partying ways for the suits giving Deus Ex the extra dev time it needed: 'These British guys would just get hammered with the Dallas team for three days straight'

    PC Gamer recently dispatched Robert Zak to chat with the senior developers behind Deus Ex, in order to mark the 25th anniversary of a true classic. Among the many nuggets are that the initial pitch for the game starred Jake Shooter , supercop, and that the team never really thoug

    Warren Spector was so desperate to make Deus Ex that it almost became a Command & Conquer RPG: 'I was going to find a way to make it one way or another, even if it meant making another damn sci-fi game!'

    Deus Ex recently celebrated its 25th birthday. But in a parallel universe, PC gamers with eight arms and two heads are commemorating the 25th anniversary of a first-person Command & Conquer game to blow C&C Renegade out of the water. That's because Warren Spector's platon

    Deus Ex devs say they weren't trying to make a statement when they made one of the most political games of all time: 'What I think is the right future for humanity is irrelevant. It's all about what each player thinks'

    Deus Ex marks one of the first times I realised videogames could be about things, man . That conversation between the two NSF troopers on Liberty Island—where they discuss the reduction of people to version numbers and functionality—was a real eye-opener for a young Josh who had

    The game that would become Deus Ex originally starred Jake Shooter, supercop

    Deux Ex is the PC classic we all love to bang on about: the FPS that arguably created the immersive sim, releasing players from the shackles of linear corridors and mindless baddies into a world where freedom of approach was the secret sauce. Its plot and stylings were also sophi

    Deus Ex was a hard sell because, among other things, the Thief devs thought 'if you give players a gun, they won't sneak'

    Deux Ex, today, is synonymous with the immersive sim genre—paving the way for other games to let you approach a task from all possible angles. A new brand of videogame, unshackled from the straight lines of old school CRPGs, or the hallway trappings of the FPS... Read more.

    Deus Ex lead Warren Spector pops up to remind everyone he didn't make the game alone in a cave, wish you a happy 25th anniversary, and get me wondering if something Deus Ex-related is happening behind the scenes

    The man forever fated to be known as the creator of Deus Ex would like you to know that he did not, in fact, create Deus Ex. Not single-handedly, anyway. In a video marking the 25th (oh my god) anniversary of the first Deus Ex, Warren Spector emerged from his hermitage to wish ev

    Deus Ex just got a huge, unofficial remaster thanks to transformative new mod

    I love Deus Ex . I love the way it looks, how it plays, the music, the writing. Even its 'imperfections' make it better - JC Denton's stiff facial expressions, the bizarrely-behaving NPCs, and the reading-from-the-page voice acting are all part of the essential Deus Ex aesthetic.

    The secret stand-out of Sony's State of Play was the bizarre resurrection of Deus Ex's PS2 version

    lright, alright. I know this website is called PC Gamer. I am aware, dimly, that the PlayStation 5 is not a PC. A thing that is even less a PC? The PS2. And yet here I am, writing about a PS2 game arriving on PS5... Read more.

    Deus Ex may be the greatest PC game of all time, and now you can own it for free

    If I had to pick the five greatest and most PC influential games, at least during that transformative decade between 1990 and the end of 2000, then I think Fallout would make the list, probably Civilization, and maybe Doom. There are a lot of contenders for the fourth spot. Comma

    Deus Ex writer reveals canceled sequel that linked Mankind Divided to DX1

    There are lots of contenders - Command and Conquer, Fallout, Doom - but on balance, I'm certain that the original Deus Ex is the greatest PC game of all time. Sadly, however, the Deus Ex prequels, Human Revolution and Mankind Divided, never caught up to the plot of DX1 - as of 20

    Deus Ex director Warren Spector thinks that 'if someone made Deus Ex today it might be perceived as a documentary,' so if he made a new one it would be pretty different

    You can't have a chat with Warren Spector and not ask him about Deus Ex. Sure, it's almost a quarter of a century old, but it feels pretty relevant today. And, crucially, it's still an impressive game—albeit a bit long in the tooth. So of course our itinerant interviewer Jeremy P

    Grab every Deus Ex game for less than $10 with this massive Steam collection

    Some games are essential parts of the PC gaming canon. Doom, Half-Life, Baldur's Gate, World of Warcraft, Disco Elysium, and many others all form a web of PC gaming that inform the direction the medium has taken over the decades. The Deus Ex series stands tall among that number,

    Thanks to its all-encompassing Randomizer mod, Deus Ex has gotten a festive Halloween update with game modes and modifiers to turn it into a survival horror game

    The Deus Ex Randomizer , an extensive mod for customizing playthroughs of the classic immersive sim, has just delivered something I'd never thought I'd see: A seasonal update for Ion Storm's twisty cyberpunk noir, complete with Halloween-appropriate level decorations and new, sur

    24 years later, you can finally pet the dog in Deus Ex thanks to its all-encompassing Randomizer mod

    Deus Ex's Randomizer Mod has always been more than just a randomizer: its QoL features, mod compatibility, and customization options make it a one-stop shop for keeping Ion Storm's classic fresh. The Randomizer's 3.0 update , released just ahead of Deus Ex's 24th birthday, has ev
