Hey all
The largest Deus Ex FM to be done for Deus Ex 1 so far, Red Sun 2020 was released today after several years in development.

I`m downloading it myself at the time of my creating this thread but it appears to be the equivalent of an expansion pack. And should keep any Deus Ex fan busy for quite some time.

Wow.
I never thought this mod would see the light of day.
I don't think the creators did, either. ;)
Many thanks for the head's up.
Downloading now.
Edit: i think it's pretty self explanatory, but make sure those of you who grab this bad boy also grab the TITAN texture patch (especially GOTY version players), and the 1.01 patch. Apparently, they had problems immediately after release. The patch came 24 hours later...not bad!

pls forgive my ignorance but which one do you download???
The Installer the manual installer or do you have to download them all separtely? I want to go to a Cyber cafe and would like to download it in one go so I can burn onto a disk and take it home
Thanks

Download the 116mb "Redsun Installer". You`ll also need to download the "Titan Texure Package" and "Patch v1.01".

Played it over the last couple of days (gaming time was apparently 8 hours to the minute), although technically I havent finished it, as one of the many bugs seems to stop me from finishing it.
[SPOILER]Unless I just cant find Redsun. I found his two agents, but they wont talk to me :([/SPOILER]
Of course, this problem could be linked to another - namely an accumulation of uncompleted objectives (about 5 I think), although I actually have done all of them, apart from [SPOILER]finding TGM building #1 in Otemachi[/SPOILER] I believe this is because it is possible to do some of the objectives around the warzone city (can't remember the name) in any order you want, apparently. For example, [SPOILER]I went to the bank first, before being told to... thus I had the conversation telling me to and the objective remained afterwards. I also met the woman in the Aqua Grill before being told to[/SPOILER] Elsewhere, there are a couple of Augmentations canisters that carry no augs.
However it's an excellent game visually; the atmosphere (helped no doubt by the excellent music), in my opinion, is easily equal to that of Deus Ex. The dialogue manages to be both informative and funny (unintentionally in the case of the typos in the Kabuki Cho). The only area that significally lacks behind Deus Ex is the narrative/characterisation, in that much of the story seems like irrelevant side-tracking and that there is virtually no characterisation.
I have to say I found the [SPOILER]Lost City[/SPOILER] and [SPOILER]General's house map[/SPOILER] deeply unsettling. I have no idea why :weird: .
Anyway, it's absolutely stunning in certain areas (especially Tokyo, the Kurosuma bases and Otemachi-Ku) and never dips below satisfying. If the obvious bugs in conversation, aug canisters and dialogue are sorted out in a patch, it will definetly take its deserved place at the top of the Deus Ex mods list.

[SPOILER]The objective is to meet Redsun in the 2 train stop area.[/SPOILER] I am not sure if I have done this right but I come accross [SPOILER]2 guys in the train station, one of which looks like Paul Denton (but is called Alan) and another guy with a mustache called Kaneko. Nothing happens when you try to talk to them so I tried to kill them and got an error msg "cannot find URL exro1.dx. What am I supposed to do here? Surely there is a last fight or something[/SPOILER]
[SPOILER]Also what is with JC Denton running around in certain cut scenes. Is this suppposed to happen or is this another bug. [/SPOILER] Is he part of the story :confused: :confused: :confused:
Some help would be appreciated.

Is the site down now? Every time I try to go there I get some messed-up stuff.

Anyone have the webspace to host it and/or mirrors? The site is indeed down.
