Painkiller RTX is a path-traced upgrade to a classic but almost forgotten shooter
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Nvidia’s RTX Remix is a remarkable tool that allows game modders to bring state-of-the-art path traced visuals to classic PC games. We’ve seen Portal RTX from Nvidia already, along with the development of a full-on remaster of Half-Life 2 – but I was excited to see a community of modders take on 2004’s Painkiller, enhanced now to become Painkiller RTX. It’s still a work-in-progress project as of version 0.1.6, but what I’ve seen so far is still highly impressive – and if you have the means, I recommend checking it out.
