    Would be cool to see it in a new game. One I haven’t played already.

      Why when you can capitalize on something that was already successful 20 years ago and exploit people’s nostalgia.

        The problem with ray tracing is that the most effective way to make it shine is on something hasn’t shown potential with extra textures (like normal map) and PBR.

    Hey Nvidia, how about you spend some time releasing some open source drivers instead of re-working some one else’s already excellent software?

    It looks better, sure, but marginally better, which is to say something as HL2 was released in 2004. I replayed it last year (the “update”) and it still holds up so well: models and textures are old, sure, but animations, face animations in particular, barely show their age.

    Anyway, this remake is apparently made by the same team that created the Portal: Prelude RTX mod, which (according to the Steam reviews) runs terribly. I wish I was more excited, but I can’t say I am.
