Either way all I know is that it makes games look even better (or should I say, more realistic), and it\u2019s now wonder why everyone is coining it as the next big step in graphical fidelity. Sure, it still has some kinks to work out, but hey it\u2019s still in its infancy days right?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, some lucky fellow has been running ray tracing technology on the recently released Half-Life 1 remake, Black Mesa, and it truly makes the game shine\u2026 quite literally to be honest. Either way you should definitely give it a look as it really shows off what ray tracing is capable of, even if it\u2019s not quite in the general consumer price range it is interesting to see the capabilities of such technology.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p>Wow, Black Mesa sure has some fancy cleaning products. Okay, so I\u2019ll admit that sometimes it can look a little <em>too<\/em> glossy, but other times it can really make the game pop. Sometimes brick walls, the very definition of an <em>un<\/em>-shiny surface, can reflect a little bit too much as if it\u2019s been coated in liquid metal. But when those certain lighting features like the vending machines or green pits of acid give that gorgeous looking glow, it\u2019s hard not to just weep a little bit (don\u2019t lie to me, I know there were tears in your eyes).<\/p>\n<p><ins class=\"adsbygoogle scrolling-ad-item\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0052787453283862\" data-ad-slot=\"2741061911\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I find it\u2019s really fun to see old games updated to modern graphics like Black Mesa or the Resident Evil 2 Remake, but what games would you like to see with modern-day graphics?
