This kind of reminds me of the old 3Dfx era, where that generation of graphics card suddenly provided things like transparency and texture filtering which totally changed the feel that games had. When games started to support it, you for some time had two versions, the software one and the hardware accelerated one.

"It made the games look almost as modern as a remake, but without needing to go to the effort of a full remake" It literally used a HD texture pack and an updated version of the engine (Q2XP) to build from 😒 They did more after the initial release, but it's without question that other people set the ball rolling and handed them an easy win. Also Q2 3D geometry for the map, weapons and enemies is laughably low complexity compared to modern AAA game assets. The difference when using the same path tracing methods on modern higher complexity geometry is no small thing.

Everything just looks shiny now. The games were art directed to fit the tech at the time. For the most part they would need to be redone by hand to capture the original intention

A caveat about Remix working on any game: it only supports games running Fixed function pipelines like older DX9.0 games. Any DX9.0c+ game using shaders won't work without workarounds and modifying its rendering system. About pixelated older game (especially SOTN shown in the vid), post-processing shaders can be used to add CRT or scanline shaders. It already exists in PS1 emulators and in Reshade.

The tool ENB does something similar (but with a smaller scope) for games like Skyrim and Fallout 4. Some shaders are replaced or added (metal shader, rain wetness, parallax occlusion mapping), screen space global illumination is added, grass collision added. It's fine-tuned for individual games. Nvidia Remix takes a more general approach, but that's only compatible with very old games (pre 2010 at the very least). The Remix modding tools include AI tools to generate modern PBR texture sets out of the simple JPGs that these old games usually used. They're not created in real time while playing though, but during the modding process. All the new assets are then put in a folder, so that the Remix runtime can load them instead of the original ones.

Halo 3 honestly still stands on its art direction in my opinion. I'd love to see what magic RTX could bring to Halo 1/2 though.

I believe the same tech of RTX that works over rendered frames could be used to make the pixel art games be modied into a way that gives the effect of a CRT. Since at the end of the day, the info is the same. Its the display post render that changed. Thats what some tech artist have been doing to give the old CRT feel, a post process that trys to emulate the CRT.

Oh my god I need to use this on Deus Ex. JC Denton with RTX baby!

This highlights a very interesting set of problems old games will face in terms of ray/path tracing: 1) Some textures will have to be reworked to be totally diffuse instead of having baked effects. 2) Unmotivated light sources can look unnatural when rendered realistically. 3) Blob shadows and lightmaps would need to be removed, as well as "carved" lighting like we see on N64 games. 4) HD textures will need to maintain the game's original art direction. 5) Planar reflections like we see in say, Mario 64, would have to be completely nixxed so a ray-traced reflection can be used.

Max Payne looks insanely good with it. I'll definitely play through it again with this. Max Payne 2 as well.

A great example was Half-life 2 remix. It really is a powerful tool for modders notably, outcome product still needs some tweak and optimization for models and texture ofc.

Wow. Playing Max Payne with those kind of graphics would be a great experience. Imagine playing that with the FPS mod in VR. That'd be a trip.

What if developers, instead of making rereleases, would use RTX Remix to deliver free patches for their games. So touching up the lighting, materials and models to morernise them. Maybe work with the community too to alleviate workload.

personally I'm hoping for some 3D era JRPG's to get remix'd, not because they need them as they stand on their own without god tier graphics anyway, but because it could add so much to the atmosphere and storytelling of an already amazingly detailed world.

This is going to make Super Auto Pets look insane.

I think putting AI to work on these remixes is the way to go. AI to increase texture quality based on stable diffusion, AI to increase model level of detail and realism based on 3D data of real world objects, AI to figure out proper light placement reproducing or enhancing the artistic vision of the original game, etc. The modder would just tweak the AI's results, not do most of the grunt work.

Great video! Thanks for sharing. I would only say thought that “it require us to stretch our imagination” in a tone like it’s a bad thing feels weird to me. Maybe because I grew up with the originals super Mario, Sonic, etc as well as playing with Legos and whatnot I feel that pushing for one’s imagination is nothing bad at all. I love to see games with amazing graphic fidelity, but honestly most are actually quite boring after a bit. And sometimes that graphic fidelity even gets in the way. Watchdogs Legion is an example of this. Playing with Raytracing is beautiful. But given it’s London everything is wet and so there are reflections everywhere. It makes it so noisy visually sometimes that it gets a bit in the way. So I think graphical fidelity is incredible to see. But for games it is definitely not the end-all. I think it can actually make us lazy in the future regarding imagination.

I keep wondering if it'll be possible to use with emulators. DX8-DX10 I believe is what this works on, right? If that's the case, then some older versions of Dolphin (or Ishiiruka, maybe) have the potential of using this tech, if it actually works with them. It would be really neat to see old Gamecube and Wii games getting this treatment. Meanwhile, a madman by the name of Dario has been making a raytracing plugin for N64 that, once stable, should allow you to add dynamic lighting to any N64 game. Pretty cool stuff in our future.

There is nothing wrong with the graphics and the only reason we are so obsessed with graphics now is Digital Foundry. They made all of us graphics snobs. Until we play the game and we don't care about the graphics anymore.

This looks really cool but I imagine games are going to be overly dark or overly bright in comparison to the original, which is harder to justify because it means now half the level might be pitch black when if the original creators had access to this tech they might have wanted to keep it brighter.

RTX in Max Payne doesn’t hold up to the snappy and accurate Radiosity pass (phones run it). The “gloom” look is RTX’s limitations, the levels were designed bright by the designers for the old audience. Only thing Max Payne really needs are traced dynamic lights and reflections. The new textures would have to be PBR ones since originals were just photos with static everything. Lots of work actually and easy to change the feel of the whole thing. But really good to see people trying.

There are some games I used to play as a kid that I tried replaying and just couldn't bear how it looks, even knowing how good the game really is. Like the original Max Payner and The witcher.

I wish they would remake Syphon Filter. That game was SIIIICK! Plus it's so old now and they never made anything past PS2, I would love to see what they could do now.

wow i didnt think of how newer displays could show the flaws old game textures had that older displays couldn't. I wonder if there's a way to "filter" the display. where it mimics those older displays, giving the best version of those older 8bit style games
