NVIDIA creates a gaming studio to remaster classic PC games
Nvidia is assembling a game studio team to work on classic PC games by adding real-time ray tracing. It is not clear which games are involved, but previously Nvidia Quake II already gave a modern variant with raytracing.
According to a job listing, the green team has created a studio that will specialize on adding Ray Tracing effects to remasters of even more classic PC games.
NVIDIA is kicking off an exciting new game remastering program. We’re cherry-picking some of the greatest titles from the past decades and bringing them into the ray tracing age, giving them state-of-the-art visuals while keeping the gameplay that made them great. The NVIDIA Lightspeed Studios team is picking up the challenge starting with a title that you know and love but we can’t talk about here! We’re building a team of talented, dedicated game developers who are ready to get going quickly.We are looking for an experienced Producer to join the NVIDIA Studios team.
What you’ll be doing:
- Lead the production on an RTX remaster project, including scope, schedule, resourcing and risk management
- Work with partner teams to track status and optimize collaboration
- Maintain and disseminate project status information through multiple internal and external teams and departments
- Develop and maintain processes and tools needed to support partnership projects and technical collaboration
NVIDIA created this job listing 17 days ago. In other words, this is after the release of Quake 2 RTX.

Kinda hard to get excited about when you need a $1200 gpu to run run Quake II with acceptable performance.

There's a lot of games that would hold up today with modern textures and lighting. Even making their geometry significantly more detailed wouldn't take a ton of work for some.

Maybe for Quake 1 $600 will be enough to play.

When is next generation RTX due anyway? I’d say second generation will be the time to jump into this tech. Even for cheaper second hand 2080Tis from rich upgraders.

No matter how good these games can look, ancient gameplay mechanics will ultimately let them down. Guns with zero recoil, NPCs with dated animation, speech, AI, etc. Simplistic, predictable objectives that we're all familiar with. All these ancient games will suck ballz by todays standards. Nostalgia will be their only appeal.

If these are freebies, then great. If they're trying to make us re-purchase the same games again, fnck that.

This is the same argument I have for not going to the gym: why tamper with perfection?

Not free. Pretty sure future remastered games will not be free either. Quake II cost $5 on Steam unless you already have the game in your library.

Funny I still play some of those ancient games (e.g. ut2004) because the game play mechanics are better and not dumbed down to appease the masses. Not that I think they'll do ut2004, but there are some very popular old games with dedicated fan bases (e.g. various elder scrolls, various fallout, HL2, fear) that I can see loving an RT over-hall.

This is ABSOLUTELY not true, I hate this kind of bias, I can play Quake 2 RTX at 1080p locked 60fps with an 2060 non super with Everything cracked up except GI to low or at medium with 90% scale resolution.
If you have a 1080p 60hz why would you need more than that? Yes I can play with everything absolutely cranked up at 1440p over 60fps with a 2080ti, but that is the beauty of the PC SETTING to adapt any game to your need.
And in the 2060 it still looks amazing.
You can play ANY raytraced game at 1080p 60fps with a 2060 with everything ultra/high (no dlss), Metro, Control, quake, battlefield, shadow of the Tomb Raider.
