Nvidia’s RTX-ing retro games… the people have spoken and they want Half-Life

Last month Nvidia set out to find a producer for its Lightspeed Studios, a game dev operation set on taking classic games and dipping them by the ankle into the river ray tracing. But just what videogame “that you know and love” is the RTX studio working on? We took to Twitter to poll the people with some of our own suggestions (unchecked by any formalities prerequisite to remastering someone else’s game), and the results were clear. We the people decree that the next title out of Lightspeed Studios should be Half-Life RTX. Yes, who saw that one coming. The renowned 10/10 FPS spearheaded by Gabe, the Valve team, and published by the now defunct Sierra Studios topped our four-game poll by quite some margin, with 36% of the 525 total votes in its favour. Honorary mentions go to World of Warcraft winning 24% of the vote, The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind with 21%, and, trailing behind, Max Payne with 19%. But what classic the studio is actually working right now remains a mystery, but we know there’s something in the works thanks to a job posting spotted by DSOGaming. And we can expect a similar level of RTX integration in whatever the green team settles on next to its most recent project: Quake II RTX.
