It's so easy to modify Half-Life 2 (https://www.destructoid.com/slenderman-meets-scp-in-this-half-life-2-horror-mod/) that it's no wonder Valve's 2004 magnum opus is still part of the gaming scene. However, if you just want the game to look prettier, you can soon run it through Nvidia's RTX Remix tech.
Over on the Nvidia GeForce YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@NVIDIAGeForce) channel, you can see a teaser for a revamped version of the iconic Half-Life 2. Side-by-side comparisons show what the OG release looks like when compared to the upcoming remastered version.

The Half-Life 2 RTX Remix project actually comes to us via the modding community itself. The description under the trailer says it's being helmed by "four of Half-Life 2?s top mod teams, now known as Orbifold Studios (https://www.hl2rtx.com/)." Currently, there doesn't appear to be a release date for it.
Ooh, it's so shiny!The original Half-Life 2 (now fast approaching its 19th birthday) still holds up today. However, a "remixed" version of the classic FPS could bring a visual boost that could breathe new life into it.
The fan-made project will boast full ray tracing for that added dose of lighting goodness, DLSS 3 for graphical upscaling, and a bunch of other tech things that sound fancy.
Nvidia released its RTX Remix (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/rtx-remix-announcement/) as a way for modders to give that certain je ne sais quoi to games that support such modern visual technologies. However, we've also seen it been used to pretty up even older games, like the original Tomb Raider (https://www.destructoid.com/heres-the-original-tomb-raider-running-with-nvidias-rtx-remix/).
You can check out more details on the upcoming Half-Life 2 RTX Remix project by going to Nvidia's website (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/half-life-2-rtx-remix-in-development/).
