Unreal (1998) Just Got an RTX Remix Path Tracing Mod Demo

25 Comments

Unreal fans, here is something for you. Modder’mstewart401′ has released a demo of the RTX Remix Path Tracing Mod for Unreal 1998. This demo is almost 10GB in size and covers the first 14 levels. As such, it’s a must for pretty much all those who want to replay this classic FPS.

This mod will make the classic FPS look way better. It adds full ray-traced lighting, realistic shadows, cool glowing light effects, and fog-like lighting. It also uses special materials that make surfaces react to light more realistically – like shiny metal, rough stone, or soft skin. Some parts of the game world have been upgraded too, so everything looks more detailed and modern.

In the mod, most of the new textures were made using RTX Remix’s AI tools. The modder also used NVIDIA’s assets to replace trees and plants and to add grass in outdoor areas. To do this, mstewart248 used a tool called UnrealED to place fake objects that they later turned into grass. They also used UnrealED to add new lights in places where the original game had glowing things like blue crystals or torches without real light sources.

Now, since this is a demo, it does not reflect the quality of the final version. Still, this looks better than the previous RTX Remix Mod we shared back in February 2024.

You can download the demo for this new Unreal RTX Remix Mod from this link. At the end of the article, you can also find a video for it. This will give you a glimpse of what you can expect from it. So, be sure to watch it.

These past couple of weeks, we’ve shared a lot of RTX Remix Mods. So, you can find mods for Black Mesa, Star Wars Republic Commando, NFS: Underground, and Manhunt. You can also find some for BioShock, Morrowind, NFS: Underground 2, Star Wars Jedi Outcast, Max Payne, and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines.

In January 2024, we shared several RTX Remix Mods that are in the works. As such, you can take a look at screenshots and videos for Tomb Raider 2,  Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Manhunt, and Garfield Kart RTX Remix. Then, in February 2024, we shared videos for Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4, and Midnight Club 2. Be sure to also check out some early RTX Remix videos and screenshots for Fallout: New Vegas, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, COD 2, and Half-Life.

Speaking of Path Tracing Mods for older titles, you might also want to check out the following ones. Modders released demos for their Path Tracing Mods for Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, and Call of Duty 4. Do note that the COD4 Mod is a “proof of concept” demo, and it does not look that great. Let’s also not forget the RTX Remix for COD: WoW. And then we have the RTX Remix Mods for Painkiller and Left 4 Dead 2. Oh, and don’t forget to try this RTX Remix for Unreal Tournament 2004. Lastly, you can download these amazing Path Tracing Mods for Doom, Doom 2, Quake, and Serious Sam.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
