NVIDIA’s “Jacob Freeman” has shared some comparison screenshots between the vanilla version and an upcoming RTX Remix Mod for FlatOut 2. These screenshots will give you a glimpse at what Path Tracing can achieve in old titles.
As we can see, RTX Remix adds proper shadows, global illumination and ambient occlusion. Basically, this WIP Mod only alters the game’s lighting system. All of its assets remain the same. At least for now.
Like most RTX Remix Mods we’ve shared, this is still in a very early development stage. So, while it greatly enhances the game’s graphics, it does not represent the quality of the final version. This mod could look even better with PBR materials, better textures and higher polygon count vehicles/objects.
Now what’s cool here is that you can already download this early version of this mod. All you have to do is head over to the game’s ModDB page and get it. Again, this is an RTX Remix config file. So, think of it as an RTX Remix Runtime Mod. This mod does not represent what modders can achieve with the more advanced RTX Remix tools that NVIDIA released last month.
In January, we shared several RTX Remix Mods that are in the works. As such, you can take a look at screenshots and videos for Tomb Raider 2, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Manhunt, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, and Garfield Kart RTX Remix. Last week, we also shared a video from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas RTX Remix. Oh, and last month, we shared videos for Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 and Midnight Club 2.
Speaking of Path Tracing Mods for older titles, you might also want to check out the following ones. Modders have released early demos for their Path Tracing Mods for Tomb Raider, Max Payne and Call of Duty 4. Do note that the COD4 Mod is a “proof of concept” demo, and it does not look that great. On the other hand, the RTX Remix Mod for Max Payne looks amazing (at least in my opinion). Let’s also not forget the RTX Remix for COD: WoW. And then there is this amazing RTX Remix Mod for Need for Speed: Underground 2. Oh, and don’t forget to give a go at this RTX Remix for Unreal Tournament 2004. Finally, you can download Path Tracing Mods for Doom 2, Quake, Half-Life and Serious Sam.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
