While watching this there were a few times where I thought "Hey, this actually looks really good", then I realised that was the RTX off shot. The RTX on shots just didn't do it for me as much as they did for games like Quake 2.
I think that HL2 just already had great baked lighting that adding ray tracing doesn't make it feel much different.
Absolutely how I felt. The RTX off shots have a more consistent style. Even textures on the RTX off shots are more interesting. https://youtu.be/aM_gzfAMdNs?t=50 they just scramble half the tv's instead of at least putting an interesting texture up.
The only really interesting thing in the whole video is the new HEV suit model, because it's a new model not because it's RTX'ed.
Yeah most of the improvements looked to be from fresh textures, not tracing. They clearly didn't want to do the tv footage though.
