Here's a fresh look at the Half-Life 2 RTX remaster
NVIDIA unveils a trailer for Half-Life 2 RTX remaster by Orbifold Studios.
NVIDIA has unveiled a new trailer that provides a behind-the-scenes look into Orbifold Studios' endeavor to create an RTX remaster of the classic game Half-Life 2. The trailer emphasizes the use of the RTX Remix engine that brings modern graphical enhancements to the game, which was initially created with an engine two decades old.
The Orbifold Studios team showcases visual upgrades such as dynamic lighting, the introduction of volumetric fog in atmospheric areas, and intricate 3D details in game objects. Although the team has not announced a release date, the upcoming 20th anniversary on November 16 might see new developments either from Orbifold or possibly from Valve itself.
Amidst the excitement of an RTX makeover, there's speculation from Tyler McVicker about Valve's fresh interest in the title. A newly password-protected branch on Steam suggests a more elaborate update is underway, likely far more comprehensive than previous anniversaries. This renewed interest could mean significant changes for fans eager to engage with the game's iconic tools like the gravity gun.
