It's not really magic. It is just, essentially replacing assets and parameters with higher quality versions. What is really good, seems to be at least, is the tooling to do it. Technically, what would be magic is if they created an AI that would upscale an entire game without having to do anything. E.g., a simple screen capture remapper where the original game was still intact. well, what would be magic is if you could take an old 1970's space invaders and turn it into a full 3D game by just running some AI on it.

Honestly, I think people have not realized the power of this tool. We can have a catalog of 10.000 to 100.000 games that can be remade in the graphics departament without too much effort. This is leagues ahead of ray tracing shaders in emulators. With this we not only get physically based materials on older games, we also get ray tracing, upscaled textures, global illumination, shadows, depth of field, the whole package. This will transform the gaming industry. And I'm more excited to when we'll have an open source version of this built by the community. Gaming looks promising in the years to come.

First off, this is incredible! Kudos to the people at Lightspeed Studios, and what a gift to the modding scene! However, I can't help myself from chuckling since AAA development is slow on adapting RT. And now Nvidia will fixes it by allowing modders (instead of game developers) xD to showcase their future vision with RT. :) And I honestly think this is great, because older games highlight much more what a great benefit RT is. Meanwhile modern games are either too demanding, or are slow at picking up RT. Also these days AAA game development has such have great fallback techniques that RT often feels like a performance hog to many people. SVOGI, Baked Lighting, perspective correct cubemaps, SSR etc. Rasterization has come far, meanwhile RT is still in its infancy. Remaking old games with RT on the other hand makes A LOT of sense!

[@TheXboxSux]

Funny, here I was reading sentiments from people in the gaming community that think RT is a giant waste of FPS and makes little to no impact on modern games. Maybe it'll find a use case on outdated games for the foreseeable future, but it aint doing much for modern gaming, which is why devs aint bothering with it.

It's really pretty basic. Just replacing textures with higher quality, replacing assets, etc. What's amazing is the work put into the tooling to make it easy to do. It ultimately is just giving a facelift to the graphics. It's not really changing any game logic. Imagine if AI somehow was developed which could extend a game. Essentially create variations, generate quests, story lines, etc. It's possible to do that. With LLM's one could already generate stories and NPC interaction and with TTS add voicing(in any language). Some people are already working on AI to generate games. In 20 years it likely will be a reality. Likely you could type in a prompt for the type of game you want to play and it will spit one out.

Maybe this will kill all these pointless remasters coming out. It will be great for old games.

[@theeloquenteccentric8321]

Thing is that if they were to make it for Morrowind it would require more work because of outside lightening and a lot more unique textures and rooms as well as having to make some arrangements with Bethesda.

[@grapepublic6420]

Does this optimize the textures?

[@SethizFTW]

Seems too good to be true or I am misunderstanding this. Does this engine work with pretty much any dx8 and dx9 title with little shader knowledge? Can the average Joe just boot this up and get it running for say like call of duty black ops or Skyrim?

[@ViciousTuna2012]

This is a tool that someone can use to "update" a game's textures and lighting, everything he mentions. Each environment would still need to be done, object by object. It's not like, something an end user would just run the game through then "bam", remastered in 4K. Think like, a modder or group of modders could do this for a game and release it as a mod. Your guess as to how it will be "released" is as good as mine. It's unclear to me whether the changes can be baked into the game or whether Remix would have to be run every time.

[@The-Oldest-Dream]

@@ViciousTuna2012 all you need to do is just upload the files into the game folder. Read wccftech

[@SethizFTW]

@@ViciousTuna2012 from what I am understanding is that you will have rtx remix open while the game is running. I think what it does is it creates a dll to hook on to the d3d9 and "overlays" the remix's separate program on the game. Think of it like the halo 1 and 2 remakes atleast from my information that I gathered and what I speculate it is like. I know you have to modify assets of the game but my question is will you need to modify code or will rtx remix handle it all without touching the executable?

[@Ozzianman]

Should work with DX8 and DX9 games that stick strictly to Forward or Deferred rendering. Games that mix those two rendering methods don't work afaik.

[@xcalium9346]

@@SethizFTW Should be like an ENB or Reshade then. I guess now the hierarchy of quality will be Reshade (basic filters, minimal investment) -> ENB (lighting engine hack, more investment) -> Remix (Total lighting and texture hack, a lot more investment)

[@xuimod]

Wonder if Dead Space Remaster used this. For studios with classic games this technology is a no brainer.

[@Regirs]

Well Morrowind yes, Oblivion hell yeah but seriously anybody thinking more about what a game changer it can do to already impressive Skyrim modding community?? From what I've heard Skyrim still has a hard limit on lighting sources (even Morrowind has it better now after modders fixed it short while ago!) and reflections etc etc. Seems like a revolution...just wondering what's the performance/ optimization cost with all that good stuff on top...

[@bubrub5564]

Neither Oblivion or Skyrim are compatible as no Bethesda game past Morrowind has a fixed function rendering pipeline.

[@WaffleCake]

This makes me so happy that Skyrim Legendary Edition was still using DirectX 9! \[T]/

[@Wilberbeest]

A lot of us have tons of DX8 and DX9 games in our steam libraries. Hoping this means most of those will end up with RTX mods. That could bring a lot of new life into those old games and make them worth a replay!

[@FAKEAXIS]

Any game that requires pixel shader 1.0 or higher is not going to work. HL2 supports dx9 Fixed function (runs without shaders). Basically kills most of the dx9 games out there for support. A game like Halo CE also supports fixed function at least.

[@Lolp821]

yeah you can replay your favourite games in a downgraded state. All RTX is used for in games, just like high definition rendering, is make the image look less immersive. 00:16 is not an improvement at all and takes away from the game.

[@vladimirpuschkov]

[@Semi-Cyclops]

this looks amazing i hopes it was not announced years before releasing

[@ferrynoc]

hope there are people out there that dedicate time to remixing old games, because this stuff looks complicated haha

games that would look sick with this : Fallout 3 Fallout New Vegas NFS Most Wanted 2005 NFS Underground 2 Morrowind Oblivion GTA San Andreas GTA Vice City GTA 3 Tempest Red Faction: Guerrilla Star Wars Battlefront 2 2005 Stalker series not sure if it will work with rts but cnc 3 tiberium wars and age of empires 2 maybe

[@creeeamy7133]

I'm glad that when I scroll down I immediately find people talking about new vegas. Finally, New Vegas can get the visual overhauls it deserves.

[@FatheredPuma81]

So what will this support exactly? DX8.1 is confirmed because of Morrowind, DX9 seems to be mostly confirmed because of Portal, but will it support DX11 or DX7? What about OpenGL? I personally would like to push this to the extremes on a 3D DX7 game with sprites. (Ragnarok Online)

[@RevelationOne]

This is beyond crazy! Can't wait to see this get pushed to its absolute limits.

[@shin_roku5696]

This will preserve classic games

[@hey_how_are_ya]

I noticed that npc's was not shown in the demo. Would they stay low resolution while everything else gets vamped up?

[@offlinegamer6756]

i think yeah ! like in the GTA remasters , they used a similar method of an AI revamping all the textures by adding polygones and meshes and adding some dynamic lights, but the AI completely failed with the NPC's as we all know , faces structures and faces animation done by a human are far better than the ones done by an AI because humans knows exactly what it is to be alive and what a living thing really look likes , an AI can't , it's simple as that !

[@scav3167]

[@Michas66]

Hey friends, you are doing a great job for the community! I compiled the DXVK and the Bridge Remix ( the rtx remix 0.2.0 ) and injected them into GTA San Andreas. I categorized some textures in the games setup. when I go to Enhancements to create the first capture, I get the message "no USD enhancements detected" Is this normal at the moment or am I missing a tool?

[@MechaG2]

My God, this is incredible. The potential here is astounding. This is going to be a game changer.

[@Lolp821]

All your favourite games will take a step back. RTX is like HDR, it's not beneficial visually.

[@kxmode]

It also means we can potentially get free remasters. :)

[@Nightmare10311]

imagine this with HALF LIFE 2!

[@nanomantube]

I'd love to see a full remix of Morrowind like this, I'd finally play it if it looked that good.
