Deus Ex : New Vision is an attempt to remake the majority of the world (environment) textures in Deus Ex at higher resolutions, in order to make the game feel more modern and create a refreshing gameplay experience for old and new players alike.
The mod is still in progress, with a full release containing upwards of 80% of the original textures remade at high resolution by the end of the year (2009). Currently, a public beta is available for download which contains approximately 67% of the original textures remade.

Downloading via filefront is amazingly slow (~25 kbps = 4 hours). I found a mirror via Google (Fileshack), and it is about twice as fast.
How about a torrent mirror, or uploading the file to Rapidshare? It CAN be used for legal purposes, you know ;-//
Oh, i forgot to mention, i love the change to the OpenGL renderer. i noticed on this older game with the newer video cards/drivers that textures in the distance wouldn't show up at all and close-ups of textures looked weird, green and grainy on the default renderer. This mod is great for multiple reasons.
This might not be feasible, but another note on the topic of spelling, would it be possible to observe American spellings for things in NY, Area 51, etc. and British/International spellings in places like HK when there's a difference?
Didn't really take notice of that. I might fix it in the final release. I'd imagine I'd have to go with American spelling everywhere because of how Deus Ex shares assets (there's a lot of localised textures but most are shared out everywhere).
Right, i understand about the shared resources. Maybe that's a job for the Revision folks.
i've also noticed that Manderley's name is spelled wrong on the name placard outside his office, "integrated" is misspelled on the assault rifle schematics poster, and there's a lot of instances all over the place where "it's" and "its" are getting mixed up. The rule of thumb i give everyone is that "its" is the possessive and "it's" is a contraction for "it is," only.
By the way, on Hong Kong now. The new textures you have so far are dazzling, from the tapestries in Lucky Money and Maggie Chow's, to the frosted glass in Old China Hand, to the lighted signs all over the place. i continue to be dazzled by how these high resolution textures really make everything pop!
Have you tried the ModDB European server? If that doesn't work when I get the chance I'll split the file into RAR archives and upload to Rapishare/Megaupload. Will take a while for you to download though (if you aren't registered on those sites).
Could someone please please PLEASE help provide another source for us "developing countries" to download from? Filefront only allows us to download ONE segment at a time at an agonizing 10kbps WITHOUT the ability to resume the download and will lose the connection before it even completes 10MB of the file!!!
The textures so far look great. The only gripe i have is that there're a few glaring misspellings here and there that mar the experience of immersion. Just a couple examples: "island" has been spelled "iisland" on the UNATCO signs on Liberty Island, and on the war memorial in Battery Park, the word needs to be "remembrance," not "rememberance."
Thanks - will look at these for the next release.
The mod looks beautiful.
I've played it and the textures really looks good. Now I hope that HDTP comes soon, and we have really nice looking Deus Ex.
