As a gamer who remembers the thrill of my first encounter with Gordon Freeman and the Combine, it’s hard to believe that Half-Life 2 turned two decades old this year! The nostalgia hit me like a crowbar to the face when I watched NVIDIA’s tribute video featuring the Half-Life 2 RTX mod.
Is it hard to believe that the first release of Half-Life 2 was a full twenty years back, on November 16th, 2024? Watching NVIDIA’s tribute video, which showcases the Half-Life 2 RTX mod by Orbifold Studios, has me feeling rather nostalgic and old.
The tribute video focuses on the development team at Orbifold Studios, who are dedicated to bringing full Ray Tracing, Ray Reconstruction, and DLSS 3.5 to the 20-year-old game, alongside remastered assets.
It’s incredible to see the change in graphics. Half-Life 2 RTX was first showcased at Gamescom 2023, and it looks like development is going well despite it being a “challenging journey” for the developers. Check out the video below.
