Portal 2 With *TRUE* RTX - Showcase

[@xoxor4d]

🤘

[@Rip-Rip-Rip]

hii! thanks for making this mod!

[@supersans3249]

Funny seeing you here (it's 8)

[@Gab157_Italy]

The fact that even with RTX it still shows how Portal 2 vanilla graphics were ahead of it's time

[@noblebuild2550]

The level editor used to create these levels was originally called something like "Hammer", it lets you bake the lighting. Baking usually involves raycasting, making the graphics simple but effectively realistic.

[@DrPeeper]

Because it is raytracing, although it's simpler and pre-baked

[@DrPeeper]

@@noblebuild2550 hammer doesn't bake lighting, it invokes several programs to compile a map, one of which is vrad. It is the one that actually bakes the lighting Edit: you make it sound like hammer is no longer it's name, when it is still it's name

[@AlsoTecoManIsCool]

when I was playing portal 2 for the first time on my switch i was like wait the switch has RTX????

[@DrPeeper]

@AlsoTecoManIsCool well it is rtx, it's just pre-baked

[@AmberDoesOtherStuffs]

This is basically how I remember Portal 2 from when I played it as a kid.

[@lenship2]

this will be portal in 2014

[@Giofm]

valve actually bakes the lighting with rtx so the graphics looked stellar for the time

[@Jase00]

I am incredibly grateful that this is a github download and not hidden behind patreon

[@Rip-Rip-Rip]

hii i’m so glad it’s free aswell! (also just a note, i didn’t make this mod haha, im just showcasing it in this video)

[@Srubymkv]

Portal 2 now truely lives 2024... And has its standards!

[@t3murmat]

p2ce will change everything

[@plant_king_eli]

ITS YOU

[@VivekYadav-ds8oz]

This game looks too good to have come out in 2011 even without RTX. Not glazing, but really Valve as always did a great job.

[@rodomify7681]

Weird how the water blobs aren’t transparent. There also plenty of scenes that would need to be made brighter, like when Wheatley betrays you.

[@SD-R_IC-0nSimp]

The rtx lighting and reflections look amazing

[@djcaptainplus]

I hope Portal 2 can get the RTX remaster treatment like Half-Life 2 is getting.

[@vinhdev6803]

That's just beautiful. Even though the lighting is off in some places and definitely needs some tweaking to actually make it looks like an actual big and total improvement to the old Source Engine baked lighting (E.g. Wheatley's monitor, dark test chambers, etc...), but it feels surreal and just increased the immersion of the game itself. Great RTX demonstration! I would love to play this on my device if it wasn't for my potato PC.

[@Temac000]

To be fair, my 4070ti still can't run RTX remix in stable 60 fps at 1080p. And I usually play on 3440x1440 display nowadays so there's like 20-30 fps at most

[@HavingFunTimes]

this with an OLED screen and RTX HDR is amazing! even without remastering the models/textures it still looks really good at points. definitely not fully playable but it was very fun to try out. turning off volumetric lights helped some areas from looking washed out

[@Blue007prime]

finally, Portal 2: The Movie FR tho this looks AMAZING!!!! this is how I thought Portal 2 looked before playing it again 10 years later lol

[@TheRecentBlessyOne]

It looks amazing. Absolute masterpiece.

[@Pp_727]

I didn't look closely, but if it's a mod, it really looks amazing and beautiful, I fell in love with it.

[@blabolik]

I installed this like 2 days ago and also mounted stanley parable demo to it which works in rtx STANLEY PARABLE DEMO RTX LETS DICK IN What the fuck did i just say? Anyway it ran silent with dlls balanced mode ran stable 60 fp on a 4070 ti 16 gig vram version and with a lil tweakin im sure it will look great

[@smuggoz]

i was looking for portal 2 rtx mod just yesterday and the best i could find is reshade, now i stumble upon this masterpiece. thanks!

[@thecoolgamer1482]

This is really cool and is what portal 2 needs but i think it just needs some polishing and tweaking in some parts but still very cool

[@coolgameriguess]

DUDE I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR AGES FOR THIS!!

[@Jam_ESPOIR]

The reason why I still live

[@blabolik]

Still alive

[@MickoyIisakki]

This is a triumph i'm making a note here huge success

[@ayvx]

THIS IS REALLY COOL DUDE

[@kiddu_simple]

that look coool, I WANT SEE WITH VR now !

[@FluffyPuppyKasey]

I mean you'd need a 4090 to even run that

[@pheto81]

very nice. few scenes i would have liked to see but oh well. also i noticed the core eyes and panel lights etc were not working. would like to see that in the future

[@Droplets21]

WE BLOWING UP OUR PC’S WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bboyramen]

Beautiful

[@andresbravo2003]

This is so definitive.

[@nsassofficial]

HOLY SHIT! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!

[@TheSlippser]

I did everything right according to the github but its the base game with rtx remix installed, portals are not see through anymore either, no idea what's going on and there is little to no raytracing

[@xoxor4d]

You either forgot to install the `_remix_mod.zip` or did it incorrectly

[@alexgravitos]

Beautiful.

[@brodyman7169]

The end boss fight looks a little strange but the rest is beautiful ❤️

[@NuiiCashy]

This is AMAZING!

[@VimerQM]

Вау... Это выглядит поразительно хуже оригинала. Вездесущая тьма, нет ни нормальей ни карт шероховатости, 8:21 - чисто фоточки по стенам разлепили, вода ставшая м̶a̶л̶а̶ф̶ь̶ молоком, 17:01 при уитли в лабе видимо электричество на столько подорожала что он сам его себе позволить не может, 20:29 модули которые при виде челл вырубают свои фары, артефакты в качестве вишенки

[@blabolik]

It is a compatibility layer not like an actual mod you are supposed to play through if it got more editing to make it look better it would be better

[@VimerQM]

@@blabolik oh okay then

[@ALEX2014_]

Челы запилили свет, тот факт, что игра 13-летней давности не имеет большинства современных фич это совсем другой вопрос.

[@VimerQM]

@@ALEX2014_ Что?

[@buster5661]

It's not worth turning my computer into a heater

[@Rip-Rip-Rip]

[@buster5661]

@@blabolik congrats

[@Kingfatbear]

WOAH this is AWESOME

[@meotisr]

Too good to be true. But this is actually true

[@hydrosmusic]

looks kinda like Source 2 lighting ngl

[@SageGilbert191]

A bit dark, glossy, and glowy, but still looks better than Portal RTX

[@Tacocat-l2h]

I always wanted this..

[@rocco7378]

FINALLY

[@thomashill1340]

For some reason the portals are not see through? They are only blue or orange with a white square around them. Anyone got a fix? Edit: Oh wait I found out. Youre supposed to place the rtx remix download in the main portal 2 location as well.

[@linenine]

no idea why but the game stops taking any and all inputs after about 10 seconds with this mod. help?

[@plant_king_eli]

The test chambers feel smaller with rtx... Hmm

[@B114__]

for some reason I dont get any sound in it, anyone knows how to fix?

[@Minefnafer22]

I'ma eat the Gel

[@Droplets21]

Portal 2 but the RTX is on the same level as real life instead of better than real life… somehow?

[@Tyrim]

can this mod support gsync and HDR? is it possible?

[@Rip-Rip-Rip]

hii! yep, as far as i’m aware both of those technologies are fully supported :) (as long as they are supported inside rtx remix/portal rtx, they should be supported in this)

[@Dev_N]

nice

[@YaSheNePrydumav]

Hi, will you add this to the steam workshop if possible?

[@Rip-Rip-Rip]

hii couple things: first thing i didn’t make this mod haha, i’m just showcasing it in this video. and second thing, the way this works isn’t functional through the workshop, it’s a compatibility layer which needs to be added on top of the game, and the workshop only allows you to upload maps :)

[@enmityVR]

Can this work on amd? Or does this need an nvidia card?

[@Rip-Rip-Rip]

hii! if the original portal rtx is functional with AMD gpus, then this should also be functional. keep in mind tho that this mod is MUCH more intensive than the original portal rtx :)

[@Cosmic_ROBLOOX]

make a tutorial on how to add the mod into portal 2

[@Cyrus5077]

Does this mod work with AMD Radeon GPUs?

[@Rip-Rip-Rip]

hii! if the original portal rtx is functional with AMD gpus, then this should also be functional. keep in mind tho that this mod is MUCH more intensive than the original portal rtx :)

[@Cyrus5077]

I do know that Portal 1 with RTX does not work on AMD GPUs

[@Cyrus5077]

But if this is a community made mod. This should work on AMDs right?

[@frog.7519]

Do you think i can run this on a 3050 ti or am i dreaming ?

[@Rip-Rip-Rip]

hii! yep you should be able to, do keep in mind tho that this mod is MUCH more intensive than normal portal rtx is, so you may have to decrease the resolution and dlss quality settings in order to get decent performance

[@MikooOnYoutube]

Honestly? It doesn't look that much better. If anything, a lot of the original artistic intent is lost in scenes, often appearing darker and brighter than they're supposed to. Strange to say it, but I think I prefer the less technically impressive baked lighting, for a game like this.

[@adz951]

Fair enough! Personally I think it looks fantastic, and I love the dynamism of the lighting and the way the lasers and portals emit light. Obviously some of the areas are a little darker without the faked lighting, but otherwise I love it.

[@xoxor4d]

Please keep in mind that this "mod" is not a remaster. It just makes the game work with rtx-remix in the first place. It is up to the people to do a proper remaster. I only ship a base-line remix mod which adds a few lights here and there .. just so it's somewhat playable.

[@adz951]

@@xoxor4d Great work dude, I think it looks excellent.

[@murdock7380]

@ I definitely think you should keep working on it, though! Fixing bugs and crashes and stuff if possible. You may not be remaking the assets but providing the best possible base for people to work off of is awesome. Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@xoxor4d]

@ I’ll do that 👍

[@bloodstrikeowo2647]

Oooooh

[@boxheadgaming3744]

Why no PBR textures

[@kiddu_simple]

because it's base portal 2

[@mjcox242]

Its not a full rtx remix mod, its just base portal 2 with a couple of basic lights

[@blabolik]

It's just a compatibility mod that's all

[@Joehoe77]

what GPU was this recorded on??

[@Rip-Rip-Rip]

hii! this was recorded on an RTX 4080 :)

[@Joehoe77]

@ makes sense

[@ahslanabanana]

Portal 2 has a slightly stylised style in line with other Valve games at the time, RTX just ruins everything here and makes it look ugly imo

[@sylphianna]

it is because of the stylization and good placement of lighting that rtx looks good here, although it is definitely a bit exaggerated

[@adz951]

I love how it looks. Imagine if they'd designed it with path traced lighting in mind.

[@kaitek666]

I actually think RTX is more suited for portal 2 than 1. in most places it looks great. only in few (like the wheatley takeover cutscene), the reflections make it hard to see whats going on. a few tweaks there and there and I would totally play it

[@blabolik]

I think if it the mod was tweaked it would look better

[@ahslanabanana]

@@adz951 well it would look entirely different, like HL:Alyx with realtime GI, not this

[@Sot_Alto]

Do you think you might be able to show when Wheatley crashes the resting area at the start? I really wanted to see that 🥲

[@Rip-Rip-Rip]

hii! the bit i included in this video was pretty much the best part, the rest is practically pitch black inside the room
