Modder ‘gabdeg’ has released an RTX Remix Path Tracing mod for Grand Theft Auto 2. This mod will allow you to play this classic GTA game with real-time path tracing. This is a really cool way to re-experience this classic game. So, don’t sleep on it.
Thanks to Path Tracing, GTA 2 now has better lighting, including lights from fires, explosions, and gunfire. We also get a dynamic time of day for Remix Plus. For those who did not know, Remix Plus stands for custom community runtime forks or atmospheric add-on packs.
Furthermore, the RTX Remix mod adds emissive maps to some textures and fixes the 16:9 view. This stops cars and people from popping in at the sides of the screen. It can also reach 60 FPS with Frame Generation. Also, players can press F4 to open a settings panel and adjust the lighting and time of day.
What’s also cool here is that you can download GTA 2 for free. Rockstar Games made the game available as a free download in December 2004 as part of their “Rockstar Classics” series.
You can go ahead and download the RTX Remix Mod from here. You can also download GTA 2 from here.
If you want to play some other older games with Path Tracing, you can try the following mods. For instance, you can find Path Tracing mods for Black Mesa, Star Wars Republic Commando, Need for Speed Carbon, NFS: Underground, and Manhunt. You can also find more for BioShock, NFS: Underground 2, Star Wars Jedi Outcast, and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines.
And that’s not all. Modders have released demos for their Path Tracing Mods for Deus Ex, Mirror’s Edge, and Tomb Raider. And then we have the RTX Remix Mods for Painkiller and Left 4 Dead 2. Unreal Tournament 2004 and Unreal Gold have also gotten the path-traced treatment. Half-Life fans can also play the game with Full Ray Tracing/Path Tracing. A demo has also come out for a Path Tracing Mod for Duke Nukem 3D. Then we have the beta release of the Dark Souls 2 Path Tracing Mod. Lastly, you can download these amazing Path Tracing Mods for Doom, Doom 2, Quake, GTA 4, and Serious Sam. These last ones are among the best Path Tracing Mods you can find. So, don’t skip them.
Stay tuned for more!
