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.

The funny thing about unreal engine is that it alows huge nice sharp textrues and crapy models whit max 256x256 res. but half life engine alows nice models some even look like half life 2 these super definition models. but the textrues on world is crap.
is this true? lol
Not exactly. The maximum size of textures in Unreal Engine 1 is 256, without using an updated renderer. There was basic support for high resolution and S3TC compression (i.e. up to 4096X4096) but it was never possible for anyone except gamers using S3 Metal graphics cards.
The models suck because Unreal Engine 1 does not have smoothing groups - if it did, Deus Ex would look way better than it does. By not supporting this the models look like ass, simply. But, with the new renderer the resolution supported by models is increased also, so you can actually use higher resolution textures on Deus Ex models than Half Life, which is capped at 512X512 (or 768X300 something).
so how big will this beta be? im just wondering becuse it will be released in some days i gues.
Will it work with The Nameless mod?
Yes, it is fully compatible with any Deus Ex mod.
are you guys still working on this mod ?
Yes, and we are releasing a beta soon.
Several GB, and probably .EXE to install the OpenGL driver and alter INI settings (avoids users doing it manually).
HO-LY CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!! I'm gonna need to buy a new USB! Damn... Maybe I could get home internet...
Woah! How big will the file be? (Want to know for downloading.) And what format? (.zip, .rar, .exe?)
