What's the next old game to get the full Ray Tracing treatment?

[SuperHans]

Quake II looks amazing with it's full RT version as does Minecraft. I'd love to see more games updated with full RT. My first thought was that games made on the Quake II engine would be the easiest to update. Heretic II, Sin, Soilder of Fortune, King Pin. Of course ownership of some of these IP might be disputed and they are hardly high profile titles.

What games would you like to see get the same treatment?

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Star Fox NES

 

[Polk]

Blade of Darkness was made for RT

 

[Kopite]

Half Life, Serious Sam...

 

[Perzeval]

Riddick

 

[Dictator]

Doom 3!

 

[ILikeFeet]

Unreal

 

[Condwiramurs]

F.E.A.R <3

 

[CognitiveAtrophy]

Deus Ex.

Light and shadow actually have a mechanical purpose in that game.

 

[miju]

The Darkness, what a shame, there is no pc version.

 

[plagiarize]

Doom 3!

It has to be this. It has to be. I can't think of another game that would benefit as much. Plus Lightspeed have plenty of experience working with the game.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Fortnite and Among Us

 

[Jamrock User]

It aged horribly but fear would be dope.

Max Payne too.

Feartx
Martx Payne.

 

[Tycho Kepler]

Would love it in Mass Effect

I can't imagine anything much more complex than Quake 2/3 would perform well if they were fully ray traced and not just doing effects. It's worth nothing that ray traced Quake 2 has been around for much longer than RTX itself. I'd say any old 3D game that's been open sourced would be a pretty good candidate, like Descent.

This is a great shout given the flashlight usage and all the metallic surfaces in the game. Pity I hate the game play of Doom 3.

 

[darthbob]

Would love for Halo to get this. I wanna see those real time reflections in the Master Chief's visor finally.

 

[Meta]

No One Lives Forever!

 

[SuperHans]

Deus Ex.

This and the first two Thief games would be great examples. Don't think Square Enix would ever green light such a project though.

This. It would be great to add RT to the MCC.

 

[Mass Effect]

Doom 3!

Now that's an interesting one.

I guess it would make sense over the other Dooms since 3 was all about its lighting/shadows and how it affects encounter design (enemies jumping out of the shadows and such). It would be really cool to see it fully path-traced.

 

[Sarcastico]

Thief series?

 

[MP!]

Mario 1

 

[nemorrhoids]

Doom 3!

Click to shrink...

This was my first thought as well.

 

[CHC]

Thief, Deus Ex or System Shock 2 would be so great

 

[KillLaCam]

Deus Ex 1

 

[Euler007]

Knack Remastered.

 

[ZeronosVega]

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is what comes to mind. Really, any game where light and shadow are a focus.

 

[Nobody_joe]

Mirror's Edge

 

[Urishizu]

Doom 3!

Click to shrink...

This x10000.

 

[Serif]

Mario 64

 

[KrillinLikeAVillan]

Oregon trail so i can die from ray traced dysentery.

 

[YourFriendLevi]

Dead Space or Mirror's Edge with RTX would be incredible

 

[TΛPIVVΛ]

No One Lives Forever!

Click to shrink...

This! Both games + project jack etc

 

[RCSI]

Doom 3!

This seems the most logical step from Quake II.

 

[Disorientator]

Any (or all) of the Metroid Primes.

I feel that the environment architecture combined with the varied light sources (sky, point lights, etc) and interesting materials would benefit massively from ray tracing.

Not that it will ever happen, but yeah...my vote goes to the Primes.

 

[Cream Stout]

gimme shenmue, waverace, gran turismo/2, black

 

[Castor Archer]

Original Halo CE and original Halo 2 would benefit a lot, especially Halo 2 since the original lighting system got gutted iirc

 

[CatAssTrophy]

Half-Life 1 and it's expansions.
Dead Space as others have said.

 

[Zomba13]

I'm really disappointed we've not had more "RTX remasters". Quake 2 was so cool with raytracing and it's free (I mean, if you can find your disc) and I was expecting to see more old games with RTX by now, or at least announced. It makes such a huge difference, like in Minecraft (not an old game, but a very simple looking game) where it looks so damn good.

I was always hoping for Half-Life RTX, more complex than Quake 2 but still something I could see being reasonable.

My out there, "never going to happen ever but I'd fucking die for it" wish would be Dark Forces 2 (and Mysteries of the Sith). Gimmie that Lightsaber ray tracing.

 

[McNum]

I would be surprised if we don't see a Doom sourceport that does it at some point. Original Doom, of course.

It could happen in the PC version! Now that I think about it, I wouldn't be surprised if Mario 64 ends up being next too.

 

[KAMI-SAMA]

Metal Gear Solid 1 or Metal Gear Solid 4.

 

[medyej]

F.E.A.R!

 

[TaySan]

Unreal
Fear :)

 

[Soundchaser]

Heretic II, Sin, Soilder of Fortune, King Pin.

Click to shrink...

SiN sounds very feasible, as the remaster is coming next year.

 

[copelandmaster]

Old but not too old game? KOTOR/KOTOR 2.

 

[Chakoo]

+1 for Doom 3. Specially since the source code is available.

 

[Atolm]

Doom 3 is the one that makes the most sense, also the src is public so someone capable/willing can do it without permission.

Doom 3 is already happening by the way :
