-diocre marketing gimmick
one looks like a game and the other looks like some shitty unity project. putting new lighting and rendering techniques on old games doesnt work and makes them look even more dated.
It works fine on Doom.

i cant believe ray tracing invented shadows! im gonna buy a rtx 4080 right now!!
Some of the alpha versions of halflife had realtime shadows for characters IIRC.
I'm pretty sure those were leftover flickering shadows from the quake engine and they didn't look great
Nobody actually plays through the entire game with stuff like this enabled do they? I get that it's a cool tech demo, and it does look neat, but I imagine it fucks up the lighting all over the place. This reminds me of that voxel Doom shit. Cool to look at, but I would never play the entire game that way.
I did when it came out, because I replay Half-Life often anyway. It looks nice in a fair amount of places but essentially the modder just seemed to slap on a bunch of random light sources and materials without really considering how the environment would look overall. I'd like to see it redone with more care put into it. The ray tracing tech itself is pretty bad though and there's constant artifacting everywhere.

this.
devs are going to start using ray tracing in everything and forget how to meticulously hand-craft soulful lighting and it's all going to look bland.
That old jalopy IS more soulful though, look at the craftsmanship. Just like 50s cars are 1000x more soulful than some Toyota sharted out on a factory line
How do you think they made cars in the 50s?
My take on the garbage you're spewing.
good. Then all the crying poorfags will all fuck off and everyone will be happy again
You have no idea what you are talking about
but i DONT WANT games to look 100% realistic.
i also dont give a flying fuck about the 4K meme.
>AND JUST AT THE LOW COST OF, HMM - 300 FPS?
Impressive, very nice. RTX is useless on most games.
me mario!
wow its a little brighter
>still blocky stretched textures everywhere
>destroys your FPS
>b-b-but the shadows!
>it's so important that the shadows look like this in my games!
the original is unplayable now
lmfao
why is the toxic slime so fucking bright
Nobody tell OP.

rtx on old games like HL looks awful.
soulless reskin
holy fuck is that some shadows on low polygon characters? nvidia won, it's time to support their 1500 dollar gpu
>le act like super sarcastic to hide being coping poorfag
Bought a 3080 on the dip. What now, gay boy?
This looks like utter shit. You can’t just slap on a bunch of garish lighting effects and expect it to have the same atmosphere as the original
You only need to make one thread, OP. Just one.
Do people really pay 1700 dollars GPU + 70 dollar re-release + taxes + shipping + tip for a ENB?
If it's reverse shilling to make it look bad then anon already succeeded
What GPU do you have?
R9 280 why does it matter?
Old good
New bad
>using a post processing injector
enjoy your vac ban
Why is rt making poorfags seethe so much? Not even physx or tessellation have caused this much butthurt.
FOMO and that they've just bought 7900XTX and realised it's useless
>buy high-end GPU
>it's AMD
why would anyone do that lmao
>posts a 20 year old game
ok
It looks so bad with raytracing.
Way to ruin it with the lower poly models. Would like to see how this would look in HL Source with HD models.
HD models ruin the entire aesthetic
No the low og models do. They're garbage.

Come on now.

yes. that's the whole idea of it. well done.
