Think about it. The game released in 2000. You could completely upgrade the graphics and feel of the game. Make it look at good as cyberpunk.
Keep a similar story but with certain changes to the futuristic tech and corpo stuff to match more with the current direction of the technological trends and global direction of world politics and new conspiracies.
Don't left wing or right wing it. Do the everyone is already wrong to too many degrees if they chose a side or something like that.
Have JC still have the snark dialogue options.
The first deus ex was set in 2052.
Have the remake set in 2075-2078.
Have subplots about an emergent AI with it's own country and independence gained in 2060 with a seat at the UN.
Have full biotech upgrades.
Have a UBI to keep everyone alive but it still left everyone at the bottom wanting more and feeling unfairly wronged meanwhile the gap between the bottom and top keeps growing to the point that both of them no longer consider each other truly human.
Have Africa filled with skylines like New York. Have notes about the millions dead famines of the 2030's.
Have drones fighting for rights in human cities.
Have a global conspiracy in the background.
Have links to aliens from Alpha Centauri trying to hack into humanity.
Have a disease that is making all those infected reject their augments and begin to corrode and die.
Have some political trans animal stuff mixed in on the news as new movements of weird shit are rising in the future. Have the conservative guy be like I draw the line at trans races.
Have a Q like conspiracy then have a second Q like group but these are the ones who actually got it right.
Have giant robots manning the streets to keep order.
Have terrorist cells with billions to trillion dollar empires spanning half a continent.
Have the Japanese cope with being a dying culture by doubling down on their special cultural status and isolating from the world.
Have South Korea be a collapsed nation.
Have every single grunt and soldier in the game appear OP by today's standards but still be weak compared to JC.
Everything changed but everything is still the same, but also there is a sci fi illuminati fighting with an emergent AI and possibly some hints of aliens scheming in the distance as flavor plot to determine the direction of humanity's future.
Have Iran as the strongest US ally in the middle east.
Go wild with the future tech and the future politics. The singularity came, and it changed nothing for the planet except a large no humans allowed bubble on one side of the planet.
We need a deus ex remake now more than ever. Let's get the ball rolling.
