Half-Life 2 is set to receive an RTX mod by utilizing NVIDIA's RTX Remix. The mod is currently under development.
At Gamescom 2023, NVIDIA announced it has approached a group of modding teams to create Half-Life 2 RTX, a ray traced/DLSS 3 powered remaster.
Have to say it does look quite nice. Not a fan of frame generation though but can easily be turned off.
That suit looks amazing. We really do need a proper new valve game. They were front runners on creative innovative technology. That actually made a difference.
Playing HL2 for the first time and witnessing the animation and physics was literally stunning.
The sad thing is the physics and world interaction are still pretty good today, because hardly any other game bothers in those areas.
The Half-Life 2: Remastered Collection, a Valve-sanctioned fan project, has been spotted to be in testing through SteamDB activity logs.
I don't really see much point in this, isn't the current version already updated in some ways vs the original 2004 release? It will look better, but a Source 2 touch up would be much better, maybe it would take too long for a small team. Plus I heard from the S&box devs that they were lucky to get the build of Source 2 that they're now working with.
Maybe Valve isn't so forthcoming when it comes to sharing their engine. Shame because they're taking ages to do much with it themselves. Hopefully Source 2 has room for upgrades in terms of visuals at least, not that it looks bad in the least. It's just a bit disappointing considering they used to be on top when it came to interactivity and graphics.
I believe you are right about the Source 2 engine. Black Mesa remake powered by Source engine, even though third party, was fantastic but it did seem very dated at times.
GF365: "These are our picks for the most iconic armored suits in games. This article only includes suits from games set in modern times or the future."
Samus is on the list. Personally I'd swap the Space Marines with either Grey Fox from MGS or the COG armor from Gears of War.
I’d take the Space Marine power armour off the list due to it not originating in a video game.
We want a new bloody game.
