NVIDIA has just announced the next game that will take advantage of RTX Remix with full path tracing, and that game is no other than Half Life 2. Yeap, Half-Life 2 with full path tracing will be actually a thing, and below you can find its first trailer.
As NVIDIA ntoed, Half-Life 2 RTX is an RTX Remix Project that is being developed by four of Half-Life 2’s top mod teams, now known as Orbifold Studios.
Going into more details, Orbifold Studios will rebuild materials with Physically Based Rendering (PBR) properties, and add extra geometric detail via Valve’s Hammer editor. In Half-Life 2 RTX, average world textures have 8X the pixels, and assets like the suit feature 20X the geometric detail of the original game.
Half-Life 2 RTX Remix will support DLSS 3, Reflex and RTX IO. NVIDIA has not clarified whether this project will support the latest version of DLSS 3, DLSS 3.5.
Do note, however, that Half Life 2 RTX is still in an early development phase. As such, you should not be expecting to be playing it anytime soon.
In a way, we are not really shocked by this RTX Remix Project. After all, this is coming right after the releases of Portal RTX and Portal Prelude RTX.
Speaking of RTX Remix Mods, I’d personally really love to see Doom 3 RTX or Unreal RTX. These two games should greatly benefit from a fully path-traced renderer.
But anyway, enjoy the following video and stay tuned for more!

nvidia dropping megatons. Seriously though: I wonder how this will work, RTX remix looks brilliant indoors but can’t seem to work with outdoor lights.
NGL … best news today … need to see more though
Ah, Half-Life 2, the very first game I bought with my own money. Brings back memories of back when gaming was at its peak. I remember the game being very scalable too as it ran pretty well on my aging directx 7 GPU back then. The RTX version on the other hand will likely be very performance heavy given how Portal RTX was. Regardless, I look forward to trying it out on an RTX 6090 at some point.
Ran so well that it even worked on the Novell systems back when I was in college in 2004. Sadly now an era of lost programmers.
Gaming peaked between 2007 and 2012 imo.
And in 2013 everything started going downhill when you started getting gaymes like Gone H*mo and all the soy grifters like Kotaku and their ilk began their colonization of the gaming industry in earnest.
I’ll have to respectfully disagree. While there were a lot of good games during the PS3 generation, it still doesn’t compare to the previous generations. It was the start of the decline as that’s when we started getting b.s. like microtransactions and the beginnings of the progressive mind-virus. Last generation was even worse and now the current gen has all of the negative aspects of gaming cranked up to 11.

The thing is half life 2 would more benefited from new improved baked in light maps like source 2 could offer since most of it’s lighting is totally static. It’s going to so much less performant doing it this way with no real benefit.
where is the ol half life 2 remastered? been years.
Holy heavens! That looks Amazing.
Can’t wait to priate this game guys.
I love stealing stuff, it’s a shame we can’t pirate graphic cards. I’d love to steal from Nvidia like black people.
Dagoat is Jewish btw, just like “Frank Collin” of the Skokie Affair or Lauren Southern (Simonsen) or Leo Frank a child predator who tried to frame a black man for his crime and whose guilt led to the creation of the ADL. His name is Adam. Crazy how “white supremacists” wear the same masks as ISIS. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/eaef8d58889b17e40c27244dc216cb9f1bf26a8b176d856952571c86f539451a.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c30ebd4ba813926b117ddd7305e44a8d713c830ac2d242d1ee1d9dbf17954175.jpg
A sand n*gger sees everyone through the lens of sand n*gger and Jew. Go kill each other and make me smile.
(I’d rather see them wipe you out first)
Cool story. This is you.

No, this is your neighbors and you’re genetically and culturally the same.
Bald and bankrupt went to Palestine and asked some dirty sand n*gger his name, and he was like “I’m Bruce”, then he said I’m sure you are.
I laughed my a*s off, it reminded me of you “Bruce”.
It’s a brown culture to fake your name, just like Indian scammers.
Stfu you white n*gg*r, whites are the top of scamming list ever since your existence.
Yi-Fen Chou (Michael Derrick Hudson; white poet pretended to be Taiwanese because he couldn’t get his poem published)
Lao Xie Xie (unknown but is actually an Italian photographer working under a fake Chinese persona)
Tao Hong Jing (Alexandre Ouiary; french contemporary artist fabricated Chinese persona to increase value of his work)
MA’TE (Matthiaus Austel; 40 yr old German photographer pretending to be a 22 yr old chinese girl to sell art and claimed her life was constantly in danger from the CCP because of her art & entered “Chinese-only photography competitions; he was exposed as a white dude because he was accused of sexual assault by his underage/young Chinese models)
Akira Yoshida (CB Celbuski; white dude pretended to be Japanese to write Japanese themed comics, he has apologised though)
Araki Yasusada (Kent Johnson; white literature prof. pretended to be Japanese; however this is unconfirmed)
Keiko Yamada (Larry Clark; white composer pretended to be Japanese female composer to profit from diversity & stealing opportunities from actual Asian musicians)
The Science Femme (Craig Chapman, white University of New Hampshire professor pretended to be a WOC on twitter to be racist & sexist?)
Dianne Jolley (white Australian University professor pretended to be Chinese & sent herself threatening messages to manufacture outrage against Chinese international students)
fucking white ni**er thinking he is the shit, barbarian savages stole Hindu Culture including all its science, destroyed it but it survived.
shoo smelly rat
The game looks so much better with RTX off. Until they can do RTX at native resolution with reasonable FPS, it’s going to be nothing more than a curiosity and a corporate pushed fad.
FriKKing awesome. Bring it 👊
Doom 3 and the first Unreal game, oh man that would be insane. And also Undying – frikking DO IT, and gamer heaven next. And one more Oh – dare I think of Silent Hill – games!
A man can dream right…!
How many years does it take to flog an old horse to death 19 years so far.
Doom 3 rtx would be awesome for sure. I hope it supports all mods that already exist. They should do Skyrim RTX with the thousands of mods existing would be neat. Or maybe Morrowind RTX…
Wasn’t it Morrowind that was used to showcase RTX remix when they first revealed it? Hopefully it means that a Morrowind remaster is indeed in the works.
I’m excited! This is going to be dope imo.
That being said, we need Unreal RTX!
Is this just a short tech demo or full RTX game?
Well, lucky me I don’t have a meal in my hands right now, or it could be infested with the flies eating this pile of shït.
Geh tracing is trending amongst the stüpidest of humans, so they “create” such cräps to please the said humans.
But I didn’t know the geh tracing changes the format of objects, like the video shows.
The only way to properly remaster a game is with mods so you have full control of the modifications being made and can keep all the gay out. Sh*t like this is for stupid ni**ers who need their quick gratification dopamine hit and wouldn’t even know how to turn their PC on if the button to do so wasn’t labelled.
