Being a huge fan of the original I was excited with glee when I saw this pop up in my news feed! It is one of my absolute favorite games from the 90s! I love that they've done this. I am enjoying playing through it again. I don't even remember the last time I played. Maybe the early 2000s.

You do need a powerful gpu to run it. I am on a GALAX GeForce® RTX 2080 OC and it runs pretty well at 2560x1440 with 70% resolution scale. I see people giving the game negative reviews. If you don't know how to configure a game to run on your system. It is YOUR SYSTEM that is at fault not the game. I run Metro Exodus at max settings and it runs fine. That game doesn't render every part of a scene with RTX. This game does. That is the difference.

Lower the resolution scale a bit and it still looks decent. The textures have remained pretty much the same so you don't need to see them at 100% scale. The only thing this overhaul does is change the lighting.

I for one am loving this and thanks to nVidia for doing this for us. It brings back fond memories of playing this in the late 90s and it makes it even better.

edit: The v1.2 update adds a few more bells and whistles. Like footage from security cameras onto monitors. The reflections in glass are much better and over 400 textures that have been modified make the game much better. It runs much smoother and the frame rate is much higher for the same resolution without much of a hit to performance. If they can optimize the scaling more it would mean we can run it at full 100% scale instead of reducing it to playable levels.
