A new category of mods has just been born...

[@thatjamguyog]

I'm really excited to see how the HL2 RTX Project continues.

[@CplShephard1]

Now combine - pun tntened, this with Cinematic Mod and you can have your very own Resonance Cascade on your PC!

[@patrlim]

Shiiiit, that's a good idea, add mmod too. Fuck it, throw in reshade too.

[@Ay-xq7mj]

Could use being edited however I overall like cinematic mod. Like remove explicit graffiti, dildos etc. Idk much about source modding but back porting selectively would likely be best.

[@Codex_Gaming336]

​@@patrlimalso add overcharged.

[@patrlim]

@@Codex_Gaming336 No

[@Skyrionn]

This is so exciting. It'll be interesting to see if this huge upgrade works for the VR mods

[@thatwardrobeguy]

youd finally be able to relive the hl2 ending in real life!!

[@mjcox242]

I have my doubts that it will function, vr needs DX11, DX12 or Volcan so most source vr mods are allready running off dxvk

[@Sharkwedge]

@@mjcox242 Not to mention the 2-3 thousand buck rig you need and the like 1500 bucks Vr setup for full immersion lol

[@HUNK_TZ]

Imagine how Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim would look with this

[@Z0MBUSTER]

No need to imagine it, they already showcased it for Morrowind

[@CaptPatrick01]

I wonder what effect ray tracing will have on the memory usage, since these are DX8-9 games, that means a hard 3.7GB RAM limit. (I am assuming it might be lower, since different light levels and shadows are now being handled live instead of needing to be baked into the existing textures, or having to render the same environment multiple times for non-cubemapped reflections to work.)

[@Deliveredmean42]

If tried portal rtx, you might have an idea on how much it uses. IE it can a lot.

[@grindhousefan80]

I want to see Skyrim with this technology

[@LambdaGeneration]

Technically Skyrim with Remix RTX is bootable at the moment! But it has a ton of issues.

[@MaximG.]

>it has a ton of issues But that's just Skyrim

[@wooferuwu166]

Brother in christ. That just your usual Bethesda experience​@@LambdaGeneration

[@Ay-xq7mj]

Not good idea 3070ti and 2700x barely handle vanilla in some areas of SE. Then oldeim has unfixable stutters.

[@tunderwood89]

Seems pretty cool! I don't know why people find this controversial.

[@VrejGaming]

The textures look beautiful, and I love the fact that they aren't straying away from the HL2's original textures 🙏

[@MrCurlz]

Can't wait to see what it will do with Doom 1, Wolfenstein and Arcade Volleyball

[@soldeera]

for me the most exciting part about rtx remix is using dlss in old games, it will be such an improvement specially for heavy modded games where you need something to get that extra fps

[@MrGermandeutsch]

Absolutely wonderful!

[@jingusjongus9377]

I really cannot wait for someone to do portal 2 rtx now that portal already got that treatment

[@Ferdam]

Most likely not gonna happen because Portal 2's lowest DX level is DX9.0c. Plus it requires shader model 2+, so not a fixed function game :( Best bet would be someone to port the maps to GMod and reimplement the features/guns/props, not sure if people are willing to go that far lol

[@Deliveredmean42]

I wonder how folks manage to run skyrim legendary edition then. Unless of course that game also have a dx9 mode since it has been a while since I played that version.​@Ferdam

[@Ferdam]

@@Deliveredmean42 what I recall is that they are using the very first original release of skyrim, which used few shaders But I'm honestly not too informed about the projects of remix with skyrim

[@Helix142]

I Really hope theres a feature to use the games default graphics or something and just beable to use RTX remixs other features like RTX remix right now from what ive seen would only be for a select amount of people who have the hardware to even run the stuff.

[@iamvulgar8188]

No one is talking about the sheer amount of dedication it takes to do this. In order to use RTX REMIX you have to capture every single rendered scene in the game, which means YOU HAVE TO PLAY THROUGH THE WHOLE GAME just to get captures of each scene... then the actual work can begin.

[@Z0MBUSTER]

Not really, you can use console commands to accelerate the process like clipping throught the air, and soon maybe it could be automated with AI

[@mattc7420]

I was following from the announcement. Last time I checked, this is being spearheaded by some experts in Half Life modding.

[@nathane5287]

So, have you tried something like HL2 with the RTX remix? Could make for an interesting video if you've toyed around with the tools yourself. I'm kind of interested in seeing it on a smaller scale than the more official one in the works, it looks cool, but I'd be interested in seeing basically vanilla textures/models with slightly boosted materials mainly to work with lighting & reflections in a cool way without remaking everything almost from scratch.

[@LambdaGeneration]

I’m planning a video where I take a bit of a closer look at the tools myself!

[@HL1Scientist232]

I might try to RTX Remix for black mesa since own that game.

[@mattc7420]

I'm interested to see what character models will look like.

[@sbplankton_1999]

7:11 Freedom Force got there too.

[@Lucios1995]

6:37 The Incredibles RTX? Wha? The Gamecube/PS2 game?

[@3ofSpades]

Someone should do this for the original Battlefront games and the original Modern Warfare games. This would also look good in Black Ops 3 and Spec Ops the Line.

[@naidr0x]

man, I wish we had this for DirectX 11, for the ultimate skyrim experience

[@Sonicfans1]

I would love to see Rtx on Sonic adventure 2

[@b.8127]

i wonder if this thing is possible with gtx 1070, not interested in ray tracing but it would be cool to use it for modding purposes. i'd accept 5 frames per second

[@unclexbox85]

Nope, rtx remix makes calls to RT cores, so gpus without nvidia RT cores can't work, which also sadly means Intel arc and AMD RDNA2 and 3 won't work with rtx remix

[@meotisr]

I had to enable VPN, download Omniverse, register account, log in, download Remix... Just to find out that it's 6 Gb and it's DON'T work without VPN. Great job Nvidia

[@WackoMcGoose]

I actually kinda want to see someone try this with INFRA, assuming it's even possible in the first place (it's the same engine branch as Portal 2, which is tagged as _Remix Incompatibility_ on the game list, so if Portal 2 With RTX _becomes_ possible, INFRA With RTX _should_ just be a matter of tweaking the config file a bit and making the game-specific assets)...

[@kermitai]

I wonder how they will remake corpse1.mdl and charple models, they can be counted as one of the oldest models in half-life 2

[@awanderingdogeonyoutube]

YEAHHH

[@roachdoggjr1]

Will the pbr work aithout actual pc frying raytracing

[@matijajovic8125]

Exciting!

[@frown]

I'm confused, do we need to redownload these games from their mod developers? Orrrr....is it an update to the legacy games?? Are the modifications applied thru steam workshop? Orrr... are they not actually out yet?????

[@dad1774]

45 seconds ago??? LOOOOOOOOL love your videos

[@MiningJack777]

I'd love to see a postal 2 rtx mod

[@WhehW3056]

Super Mario 64 PC Port in RTX Remix? Is it possible?

[@giedmich]

Deus Ex RTX

[@drewpatterson8009]

The "dirt" you refer to is shiny because it isn't dirt. It's blood.

[@minerkey682]

the assets are really impressive for HL2 RTX but something about the post-processing or colouring just feels... off. I don't know how to put it, but it feels washed-out or overly gray. And theres areas where it looks like theres shading issues or weird black parts on models that shouldn't be so dark

[@G7ue]

RTX Remix is going to be the new Reshade, where you see dozens of shitty presets all over the mod pages. I am excited to see what games get full overhauls soon though. I hope those AI textures for Half-Life get updated. I already dislike the use of AI for art in general, but the ones shown just look awful. It turned the ceramic tiles into rocks. Its good tech for small teams working on full remaster projects, but there is going to be a lot of "Eh, good enough" people filling games with incoherent messes of textures. Its going to be like seeing a 4K PBR texturepack in Minecraft. It looks crisp, but it doesn't fit the game at all.

[@PyriteFog]

that's not dirt that's blood lol

[@HL1Scientist232]

but not doing that until i get word from the team

[@ultgamercw6759]

I think that it's cool we are getting a remaster of sort for Half Life 2 but I can't help but feel that the models and textures look a bit too clean. For some things it's fine like the PC's and equipment in the labs but other stuff like the wooden floors in Ravenholm looks too shiny. They aren't meant to be polished or smooth surfaces, it's a run down zombie infested town that's meant to be dirty and grimy,

[@leon-ks9yn]

you guys, have no idea what just started... with the gmod modding community now having this on their tool set

[@GoldSrcAesthetic]

It definitely looks good but the textures of the hexagonal tiles disappointed me greatly

[@wrenne_claude]

wow

[@MrEdioss]

I don't care aside from a new game to be added to the interloper arg.

[@tombrgfux]

THIS WILL BE GRAFICS IN 2025

[@jojoto147]

YES stinky Half-life : Source with all this glorious glitch now in RTX 😳

[@acewmd.]

Honestly its not great, it just makes everything look like its made of a soft reflective rubber, like a kids playset. It's an improvement sure but not really all that much better when looking at it, its the choice between the original textures or everything being covered in shiny rubber.

[@Reaps]

Nitpicking i know, but that half torso hanging from the tree at the start of Ravenholm really annoys me, why not have it hanging from the ankle with a lovely pile of guts on the ground below it. This must have been one of Father Grigori's early less complicated traps that snared a zombie. the way it is in game makes no sense. Also hope the Devs over at Black Mesa jump on this tech.. not that i can run it mind!

[@Ferdam]

Current black mesa is too recent, they dropped fixed function support (because it makes no sense anymore, last GPU to only support it was GeForce 2) in favor of new rendering tech, shaders etc, so no luck But I've seen people have some success with the free mod from 2012

[@hermenthicclol1848]

Tf2 with actual RTX?!?!?!??!!?!??!!??!?!!?!?!??!?!

[@Povilaz]

This is the kind of stuff that makes me want to buy an RTX card.

[@ErdrickHero]

Sims 2 RTX pls

[@Ferdam]

I've read discussions months ago about Sims 2, and it looks like Maxis did far too many woopsies with the game code, making it, so far, incompatible with RTX Remix

[@OrangeBall_HL]

If Half-life 2 have Remaster for Playstation 5 😃

[@ThatNormalBunny]

Nope Half-Life 2 RTX is only gonna be available for PC

[@CYBERPSYCHOPATH]

This stuff is cool to see from a showcase perspective IMO, while I wouldn't be against trying them out just for spectacle, there have been other similar releases for other games which generally I've tried for 30mins then set aside and never touched again - preferring the originals.

[@Jackikins]

As someone with an AMD GPU, I will have to resort to watching people play it

[@tommythicc2719]

dang unfortunately i have amd

[@TheRealClaylex]

Too bad I can't really play these since I'm using a AMD GPU

[@jojoto147]

Portal rtx kinda work on my 6600xt

[@TheRealClaylex]

@@jojoto147 Oh whats your usual framerate dude? I got a 7900 XTX myself

[@mil260zs]

im not sure if nvidia further optimized portal rtx, but if not, from benchmarks that i could find it seems like you will hit about 40fps on 1440p ultra settings BUT with TAA-U upscaling set to performanc, tho these benchmarks were made 1 year ago at least@@TheRealClaylex

[@kingx1180]

bruh you can have a really good experience with that gpu it works with any gpu that supports ray tracing try portal prelude RTX because it has fixes for RDNA 3 GPUs and better performence@@TheRealClaylex

[@impointr]

Having tried both Portal RTX and Prelude RTX: they run. And that's about it. Almost getting into negative framerates. It's not even AMD's fault, or Intel's if you use an Intel GPU. It's Nvidia being... Nvidia. For this reason alone I see RTX Remix as a marketing tool, not a modding suite.

[@Mr.Sexy-Flexy]

i have sent you an email sir

[@SoySauce128]

12th

[@impointr]

So many of those RTX Remix mods look so damn bad unfortunately. Even if you put effort into making one of those, a lot of the game and its new lighting look uncanny as hell. It's so strange. Plus this still runs like crap on Intel and AMD GPUs so eh...

[@unclexbox85]

It sadly will run badly on intel and amd RT capable gpus since it's an overlay that makes calls to nvidia only RT cores

[@Ramdileo_sys]

This RTX thing.. I don't know man.. I know that it's realistic and blah blah...... But... is like the HD models of BlueShift... is something about them that just feels wrong and weird.......... This lights looks to much stroboscopic.. too much like the ultra bright shitty LED lights of the "modern" world........ incandescent light were more natural.. warm.. more even... sunlight like... witch is what this game should have .... Remember this is frozen in time.. in late 90's.. like monitors.. PC's and other technology.... is fluorescent tubes and incandescent lights and maybe mercury and sodium lights outside.. you know............... the Portal chambers looks terrible... I know that much.. is like the interior of a tuna fish can..... supposedly (again).. is 25+ years "abandoned metal"..... it should not looks so.. so.. oily.... you know....

[@dominikcygan2664]

you keep on repeating your self so much in this video. like a true article that says the same thing 3 times before the article even starts

[@ViewpointProd]

Throwing around the word “remaster “without even knowing what it even means, God, I hate modern online culture. Also, piss off with the AI garbage, that immediately destroys any credibility this project once had, so goddamn lazy, to not get people to just recreate or source, higher quality material, instead, get the algorithm to do it, which does not even do anything with the image except further degraded, and add detail that was never present

[@Ferdam]
