which has been a pain point for several Gamers considering how much money some of them have spent on ra tracing cards with uh very little to show for it on two now oh my God David is that halflife 2 RTX it's here yeah what's the big deal I don't get it Elijah it's only one the best games ever made and now it looks incredible so sit down and get educated about our sponsor Forum check out their Rings watches and necklaces made from unique materials like gibian meteorite and ethically sourced antlers click our Link in the video description and use code LT to get 20% off when halflife 2 came out it did a few things to stand out as one of the best games of all time it continued the immersive storytelling of halflife 1 no scene transition loading screens and no cut scenes the AI was super impressive and when coupled with the voice lines from the combine as they do actions like throw frags or try to flank you it felt like they were really hunting you down and last but not least it had a ton of physics based combat and puzzles I get how it was revolutionary for the games industry as a whole but why would I go back and play this old game when I could play something new like halflife Alex that's where remix comes in we'll dive in a bit deeper later but Invidia created tools that let modders take an old game and breathe new life into it Ray tracing upscale textur remastered 3D assets all the tools you need to make it look modern try for yourself okay I mean immediately yes it does look better right it it looks pretty great I was going to say something very inappropriate the white stains on the like graffiti graffiti I couldn't tell it's graffiti that doesn't look like anything what it looks like graffiti oh look at that detail okay that is actually quite a big difference I'm kind of Blown Away it's almost like there's like 23 years of difference there's a modding team that actually has been working on this and that's why it's taken so long is because they're fully overhauling essentially the entire game I don't know if it's because we're in pre-release there is a bit of stuttering and frame tearing I've noticed we've also got frame gen turned on right now to hit the like 250 plus FPS that we're getting got it okay and within remix itself you can change a ton of settings like I don't know if you played portal RTX but you can turn on like full path tracing uh you can turn on just base RTX maybe turn frame gen off and just keep normal dlss yeah let's start with that yeah we could start with dlss off and just go full native 4K I don't know about that my 1% lows hit six there for a second um I wonder if it like was just a maybe it was just loading yeah cuz now it's back down to my 1% lows are like my average of 86 87 look at the texture on this freaking wall man that's wild okay this is pretty cool that's all I that's all I got to say oh my game's better no they've updated the story this guy Almost Got Away Almost got away and then he got burnt alive grass is like Sprites mine's M mine's definitely a model of something some sort let's go into light and dark because you can kind of see there's like a stark transition where the game knows I'm going into darkness and it just immediately adjusts it yeah and slowly yeah look at that the original did have baked in Shadows and there have also been some lighting updates over the years like that's why the lighting already looks pretty solid for such an old game and to be clear we're playing on a 5090 right now um at 4K so your mileage may vary we'll talk a bit more about minimum specs and stuff never played this game I didn't yeah let's both look at our oh yeah look at the models way better oh look at that swinging into the light oh it's so good and then back out wait even look at the glow wild that's so good and even just the uh the effect on the gravity gun itself the orange laser or whatever Las looks way better oo that okay yeah okay oh my God it's not even that's so much better I actually did notice there's a hard I have a hard line here with my lighting uh stay there turn off dlss cuz I don't even know if the regular oh my goodness 33 FPS 7 6% 6 and 1% lows still a ton of R tracing noise though even it might even be worse yeah yeah it's actually wow it's a Transformer it is set to Transformer okay yeah it does support the new Transformer model which is great uh typically better than CNN and some was the middle left yeah it's got none applied right now so let's try like 8X oh wow that's way worse oh yeah around the Windows there let's return it to default settings then change it back turn dlss back on according to NVIDIA they published some numbers recently that said 90% of Gamers use dlss so maybe this is a game that's just like everyone's going to turn it on so we might as well make it better with it I I don't know I feel like those numbers are probably a little misleading I don't imagine that it's Gamers 90% of the time are using dlss it's 90% of Gamers have used dlss maybe yeah since our frame rate is so high with dlss turning on frame gen probably doesn't feel that awful actually oh yeah the next the best part that's when you really get to try with the gravity gun and you start murdering things with the saw blades how do I get oh you figure it puzzles halflife was the best game when it comes to like giving you a mechanic and then teaching you how to use it so you'd get a gravity gun and it was like oh I can't go through here what do I do oh you move it with the physics based gravity gun it's a good game you can just end it at a good game I get it it's okay the best game I'm learning now how much better your scene looks than right click right click the canister I get it right click the canister right click it no speak nicely to me please right click the canister okay all right now throw the canister at wall wait wait don't do it yet I want to take like a look at this room and enjoy the lighting of this room first get get into the same position as him with the canister look at how much it's glowing W off of the canister with the soft shadow on the wall too even like the blood splatter looks so much better it really does actually I wonder yeah it looks like it's like look at this go go up to the wall and just right click it I wouldn't be surprised if it does emit some light in the old one nope it doesn't wow this is a RTX on baby only possible the gun itself has glow like there is a bit of glow around the gun but it doesn't look like it's on the wall look at those saws like your saws look more dangerous than my saws they look like saws they do these still look like saws they just don't look as sharp where's the microtransactions there aren't any where's the where's the uhoh uhoh uhoh uh-oh yeah yours just like catch fire that does that's not emitting any light oh no no my God what you're doing it wrong you've got a gravity gun you've got free ammunition oh oh boom that's pretty cool oh dude it's like right there can hear him so uh you can pick up those blades yeah you can pick up the saw yeah you can rip the saw blades out of the wall and then Chuck them at people let fortnite has this mechanics like wow fortnite they finally caught up to halflife 2 yeah let's uh press F oh [ __ ] just like that's just like Source engine flashlight yeah but like yours looks so much better than does mine have like a fade on does your it looks like your is actually properly disperses the Shadow and the lighting whereas David is just kind of a solid Circle Chuck the barrels out Chuck the barrel the barrel I have my n mil oh my god dude I'm going to crank 90s oh my God you're wasting your ammo this is how you oh what was that what was that oh my God this is showing a lot of the limitations of the modern extra framess like the way that the oh yeah the Shadow from Shadow is looking really bad and if you look up you can see all the tearing in the blade we lock at 60 FPS for capture so that might be exacerbating the issue but it certainly does not look good and look at the Shadows on those cobblestones this was actually shown off in 2021 but it's the first neural Shader to come out I don't know a ton about it or how it works exactly but it looks like it adds some more detail and contrast when lighting is involved with supposedly better performance ah that looks so sick it looks so much better it did look really good I can't wait to play through half 2 for like the 10th time don't do that oh that worked don't okay don't tell me how to game the point of gaming is to the gunfire cast light too it does why are you so close when you explode things we can go we can go to the next spot do you need me to play it for you Elijah no I can do this man is this what's going to get me to buy a 90 yeah you cancelled your order right I didn't cancel it lonus gets to buy it when it gets here Fri lius I'm keeping it as much as I like this I feel like it's a little overdone and I actually kind of prefer the orangey flames on that one I was going to say it's the hot spots on this are so hot I like the way it casts the light but I don't like the fire itself especially cuz it's still like that half frame rate uh animation oh you're right yeah it is a weird especially in the top corner here you can see it the character does not look good and the ghosting around him looks really bad that is horrible oh Jesus God damn they heard you talking yeah as much as we were enjoying the visuals and everything in this game we are on a maxed out computer this is a 5090 what's the recommended for this the minimum spec is all that's up on the steam page so far and it's an i58600 for the CPU which is pretty old and an RTX 3060 TI that's probably targeting you know like 1080p 30 maybe 60 I don't know frame gen whatever but let's try it let's see just how well a 3060 I can actually run this game turns out not good just the menu default settings looks horrible yeah there's some weirdness like this the stuff in front actually looks okay but as soon as you start looking at this shimmery with the trees and everything it looks like old dlss over here it's the low preset so zero minimum light bounces and two maximum light bounces uh I'm ultra with one and four yeah of course it's going to look better I don't have any post effects on oh yeah I have all of them I don't want to turn them on but I must do it 1% low of zero yo I've never seen that before in my life time I've ever seen that 11 FPS look at your blur I wonder if there's motion blur on remember kids if you have a 3060 TI you too can enjoy zero FPS just don't try to play it at 4K I'm sure if we were let's let's try changing resolution down to like 1080P and just see how it performs oh and it's on auto for dlss mode Let's try Ultra performance first before maybe that's enough that's upscaling from 1286 by 736 it's like a PS3 game hell yeah oh that does not look good at least our frame rate's a lot better 1% lows are like 19 to 20 it's still in the unplayable Zone like 22 frames for a first person shooter is not a good time I will say though looks better than the original and so it's like a debatable which one is better than the other like there's obviously things about this that are better but and I think if you're at like a static image just looking still yes it looks a lot better right in motion the moment you move it is immediately like I would just play the original I'm going to go back to the default settings okay it's so interesting that they're willing to call this the minimum I this is unplayable in my just opinion just seeing it right like try native 1080p on like low I want to see what what it's like without dlss I actually don't know if I have that option window we might have to do it in Windows and then change the ual resolution of the Monitor and then launch it w w I'm just having fun shooting these pants that's why the original game was so good you just find random physics stuff to interact with like it's actually a huge part of modern gaming that I really don't like is the lack of like physics interactions it's a big part of why morrowwind Oblivion and Skyrim are actually so fun is because they have real interactable stuff with physics it's said vsync as well okay um let's do c so we can oh CNN Transformer yo Transformer let's do quality which will give us the what we were at before is like just gone yeah every time I up even with the birds like the trails behind the birds there look at that it's trying real hard would you rather play at 4K with high frame rates in the original visuals or these frame rates in R traced if it was these frame rate like 1080p this frame rate but like quality settings turned up a little bit I would choose that I think that's not your option you're getting this performance 36 frames with drops to like 10 or just playing I could know I'd rather play the original as much as it's beautiful like it's definitely a big big bummer I love the RTX remix stuff but the fact that it has such big performance overhead makes it so inaccessible to so many people I know such a bummer well the 4060 right just became the most common GPU I think on Steam Hardware surveys oh it just crashed it just crashed okay again we're actually pre-release so yeah any bugs we encounter could whatever they gave us access like a whole weekend early mhm but if we're looking at like kind of near the bottom end of the RTX capable cards as the recommended or minimum specs it is minimum it is minimum like the most common card being that 4060 I don't know like it's going to be inaccessible to a lot of people this is definitely something that if you want to make your old games look way better you're going to have to pay for better Hardware to run it and uh that's just kind of the UN forunate reality of it well hopefully as more and more generations of this technology comes out we we start to see it work on mid-tier Hardware 100% but as it is now it's definitely uh an elite thing which is a huge bummer it looks sick but how does any of this work according to NVIDIA remix is a modding platform for remastering a catalog of fixed function directex 8 and n games it works by analyzing everything in real time with the bridge the bridge sends this info to the EnV remix Bridge which converts 32-bit to 64-bit giving them access to more memory the bridge then sends info and instructions to the remix renderer which is what's really driving all of what you're seeing right now path tracing and asset swapping NVIDIA's got a thorough explainer and a guide to diying this stuff if you want to try it out for yourself and we'll have it linked below but what I want to point out is that as super cool as this is it's not a simple one button solution to magically make your older games look awesome to get something to this level it's still takes a bunch of work to capture the original game and then add remastered or upscaled assets Riley and Luke tried out a few remix titles on an episode of gamelink a while back and the results are impressive but not as mind-blowing as what orbifold Studios has managed to do here thanks to dedication and hard work all right Elijah what do you think this has been the most I've been compelled to go back and play halflife ah cuz everyone's told me you should go back and play it it's revolutionary it is and I've always looked at it like nah this looks incredible I don't have a 590 but I would be compelled to go back and playing it if it looked like this if all this does is allow you know a few thousand younger Gamers to go back and enjoy halflife 2 as much as we did back in the day maybe it was all worth it shout out to the community for making all of this happen yeah NVIDIA has created a super cool tool but if it wasn't for the modding teams actually using it we wouldn't get cool experiences like we're playing today I can't wait to see what the future has in store for older games and I can't wait to tell you about our sponsor thorum whether you need to pick up a gift for someone special or just want to treat yourself to
