Will remastered collection be announced soon?

[Smart Fella]

Remastered collection has supposedly been in the works for a while now, and it would be real nice if Filip Victor could at least acknowledge it. HL2 with CSM shadows is something that needs to happen.

I have not seen a set date yet either. Neither the NVidia nor the developer websites provide any mention. I have it on my wish list in hopes of getting any news. The only thing I have seen is the Youtube features vid.

NVIDIA has nothing to do with Half-Life 2: Update.

If you don't wait for it, you won't be disappointed.

I'm referring to the RTX remix Nvidia is working on.

OP's post is about project "Half-Life 2: Remastered Collection" by Filip Victor https://steamdb.info/app/600680
While you're talking about Half-Life 2 RTX

The Half Life 2 Update By Filip Victor has been out since 2015. The OP was speaking as if what he is talking about has not come out yet. I assumed he meant the RTX remix. Sorry for any confusion on my part.

It depends on factors like...

Is it worked on continually ? Filip mentioned other projects.
Are there things to add which isn't that "simple" ?
Are they adding new textures, effects and perhaps more geometry to everything ?

Simply play the official version until this is updated again, I guess.

I really hope it's alive, rtx remaster is obviously not for everyone if you look at the system requirements, on my 4060ti dlss and fg are required to get 60 fps in 1280x768 rendering, this is a joke

[GamerXT]

So why's the HL2 RTX requirements higher than modern games with RT ?

HL2 RTX is first and foremost not a game but a benchmark from Nvidia, ad to make people buy RTX 5000

Most modern games don't use RT as heavily. They compute lighting using traditional methods and add some RT effects like reflections.
RTX Remix games(Portal RTX, HL2 RTX) are closer to Cyberpunk 2077's RT overdrive mode: https://www.pcworld.com/article/1782490/cyberpunk-2077-overdrive-mode-benchmarks-nvidia-rtx-path-tracing.html

Thanks for the info then.
