I added a few more games to the collection that are compatible with RTX-Remix. I got Deus Ex (2000), Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, Max Payne 2, and Just Cause on the Steam summer sale. Getting them up and running currently. It'll be my first time playing all of them, and it looks like they're all playable all the way through with just the runtime installed. I'm about halfway through Star Wars Republic Commando with only the runtime installed and it's working perfectly. For me personally, seeing an old game being rendered with path tracing is the most incredible/graphically drastic thing I've ever experienced in video game graphics in a very long time. Even without any upscaled or added PBR to the game, the path tracing alone is enjoyable and makes the game feel fresh. Path tracing really has me by the throat, I've been wow'd by graphics in the past, but this is the most incredible thing I've ever seen. I remember the jump from PS2 to PS3 was INCREDIBLE to me, this stacks up to that feeling.
I'll be experimenting with these games in the coming months, I think I'll start off with Deus Ex, I'd like to complete the game soon. I think I'll start a rolling capture of my first playthrough, and make multiple saves so I can upscale and reload a section to get a feel for how these new games will look with added PBR, and to get a feel for what they'll be like to work with in the Toolkit. Most of my time with remix is spent in the toolkit, so it's nice to have time with the runtime, because what other modders have said it's true - we really don't play with our mods, we spend more time creating them and moving on to the next one, or spend time updating them. I really enjoy making mods/finding the next project to start working on.
Well, back to work I go! :)
