We initially heard about a team modding an RTX remaster of last August.Today, NVIDIA released a trailer giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at Orbifold Studios' efforts to apply more modern graphics tools to the iconic title.The video highlights the RTX Remix engine and how the team is using it to make visual upgrades to a game with an engine two decades old.
They have examples of how they're creating more dynamic light sources, volumetric fog in moody areas, and full 3D detail on the objects in the environment.The crew at Orbifold still doesn't have a release date for their work, but as the 20th anniversary for approaches on November 16, it's possible that there may be something official in the works from Valve.No, not .But YouTuber and veteran Valve reporter Tyler McVicker noticed that there is a new, password-protected branch of the game in Steam.
Just based on the number of new test builds that have been pushed out on that branch, the new update seems more involved than the one the company released to mark the 25th anniversary of last year.So if you're itching to pick up the gravity gun again, this weekend might be the time to do it.
