This video does not cover ALL changes made over the last few months, simply the ones that I remembered to shoot footage for, do voice over for and edit into the video. There are plenty other minor changes as well.

DXU24 is an on-going project with a lot of things to do. The eventual goal is to have a user moddable, first-class VR experience for Deus Ex, first and foremost.

DXU24 is not a remake or a remaster, it does not recreate any copyrighted assets contained in target games. It instead interprets target games while they are running on your PC and adapts them to run in Unreal Engine 5 in real-time. A legal copy of any target game is required to run DXU24. 

Side-by-side comparisons shown in the video are recorded concurrently, showing both Unreal Engine 1 and Unreal Engine 5 running at the same time, no video editing was done to composite them side-by-side, it is a single screen capture of two separate applications.

Thanks Couchpotato!
