NVIDIA’s Jacob Freeman has shared some screenshots from a WIP RTX Remix Mod for SiN Episodes: Emergence. This mod will add Full Ray Tracing/Path Tracing effects to this 2006 FPS title. So, let’s take a look at it.

SiN Episodes: Emergence was developed by Ritual Entertainment and came out in 2006. It was an attempt to revive the classic SiN game, which came out in 1998. The devs were planning to release nine episodes but abandoned those plans as the first episode flopped.

SiN Episodes: Emergence is powered by the Source Engine, so an RTX Remix Mod should be an easy task. At least in theory.

Created by modder MattTheZombie, this mod is still in an early dev stage. Moreover, there is no ETA on when it will come out.

These screenshots should give us an idea of what we can expect from it. As we can see, the game’s lighting has been completely overhauled. Lights now cast shadows, and there is a “natural” AO effect in shadowy places thanks to Path Tracing.

Jacob has also shared a comparison shot between the RTX Remix Mod and the original version. This image highlights perfectly all the visual improvements of this mod.

Now I don’t know how many of you have this game in their catalogue. And, honestly, I’d love to see some other classic PC games with RTX Remix. Still, this is a free mod. So, at the very least, it deserves the spotlight.

In these past few months we’ve shared a lot of RTX Remix Mods for various games. In January 2023, 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, and Garfield Kart RTX Remix. Then, in February 2024, we shared videos for Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Unreal, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 and Midnight Club 2. In March 2024, we also shared the first screenshots from the RTX Remix Mod for Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines. Finally, you can check out some early RTX Remix videos and screenshots for Fallout: New Vegas, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, COD 2, and Half-Life.

Speaking of Path Tracing Mods for older titles, you might also want to check out the following ones. Modders released demos for their Path Tracing Mods for Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, and Call of Duty 4. Do note that the COD4 Mod is a “proof of concept” demo, and it does not look that great. Let’s also not forget the RTX Remix for COD: WoW. And then we have the RTX Remix Mods for NFS: Underground and Underground 2. Oh, and don’t forget to give a go at this RTX Remix for Unreal Tournament 2004. In September 2024, we also shared a new version of the RTX Remix Mod for Max Payne. Finally, you can download Path Tracing Mods for Doom, Doom 2, Quake, and Serious Sam.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
