Ray traced lighting, man. I typically really feel like I can do with out its beastly hits to efficiency in my video games, however then I am going to see a transformative use of it that makes me wish to slam that “RTX on” button. Modder Slasks Psybunker’s demo for ray tracing within the authentic Max Payne (first noticed by DSOGaming) is one such dinger.
Slasks Psybunker appears to have used the RTX Remix runtime to make use of this, an earlier model of the RTX remastering toolkit Nvidia plans to launch on the finish of the month. As a refresher to those that aren’t totally tuned in with bleeding edge Nvidia graphics stuff, RTX Remix is the tech large’s software for shortly creating ray tracing-enabled “remasters” of older PC video games. The corporate first confirmed it off with a ray tracing-enabled model of Portal.

The outcomes are fairly gorgeous with the RTX Remixed model of Max Payne as effectively. The sport’s first stage, Roscoe Road Station, will get this actually grungy, oppressively darkish makeover. Some a part of me will at all times prize the flip of the millennium allure of the unique, however Slasks Psybunker’s remaster is certainly a cool alternate take.
I am hopeful that the modder continues this work for the remainder of the sport. Roscoe Road is an iconic stage, however type of in the identical method Oblivion’s Imperial Metropolis sewer is—I am unable to fairly put my finger on why I really like these dank tunnels a lot, they’re type of dumpy, however they do set the stage for wonderful videogames. I would be excited to see Max Payne’s extra scenic areas just like the Aesir headquarters or the mansion stage get this similar remedy.
This mod additionally is perhaps a small style of what Treatment would possibly pull in its upcoming Max Payne 1+2 remaster. You already know that dangerous boy’s going to have probably the most taxing, uber-fancy subsequent gen lighting conceivable, however bouncing mild rays are hopefully just the start. Alan Wake 2 confirmed us a studio on the top of its artwork route powers, whereas the destructible environments of Management could be proper at residence in Max Payne’s extremely violent world.
Within the meantime, you possibly can try the Max Payne RTX Remix demo your self on ModDB, or watch YouTube consumer turnpike’s playthrough of the demo.
