50 Minutes of Path-Traced Glory
NVIDIA recently showcased a new Half-Life 2 RTX demo at Gamescom 2024, featuring 50 minutes of gameplay footage.
So I first thought ‘oh I thought Ray Tracing was already sup- ooooooh, path tracing’. So basically path tracing is ray tracing cranked to 11, essentially improving the scenes by bouncing the light even more realistic.
This does sounds great in theory, but I have to see it when it launch. Until then, the gameplay video will do for now.
Developed by Orbifold Studios, the HL2 remaster includes new assets, textures but I do have to say, it didn’t depart from the original look and feel.
Unfortunately, there’s no release date yet, but a 2025 launch seems probabilistic.
