The highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto IV has set the gaming world abuzz with its recent trailer, providing a glimpse into the chaos of Vice City and introducing two protagonists, Jason and Lucia. While the excitement around GTA 6 launch is palpable, the narrative details of the game remain shrouded in mystery, giving rise to numerous theories that attempt to decipher the storyline.
Classics like Vice City and Tomb Raider are being given the RTX Remix treatment
16.01.2024 - 16:09 / destructoid.com
Nvidia’s RTX Remix is already proving popular with modders, as notable games are being given a new, shiny lease on life. As a result, we’re getting to see things like GTA, Max Payne, and early Tomb Raider games get something of a spit polish, re-entering our collective consciousness.
I have DSO Gaming to thank for this. A number of recent posts from them show that RTX Remix is able to put a bit of a modern spin on some older releases, such as the aforementioned ones.
In one article, we’re treated to screenshots from a remixed version of Vice City – complete with Path Tracing – from user PC_Focus. We also have the above footage from turnpike, whose take on the original Max Payne gives the antihero’s coat a nice sheen. Then there’s skurtyyskirts, with a remixed version of the first Tomb Raider installment, showing Lara in a new light (literally).
Given that Nvidia is due to release its RTX Remix toolkit into open beta on January 22, we can expect to see more of this sort of thing happening. The above examples were done in the current version of the modding software, which means they might be improved upon even more at some point.
We’ve also seen the effect of it working in games like Half-Life 2, so it’s not just suitable for ultra retro titles (although HL2 is turning 20 this year. Yikes, indeed).
Being able to inject modern techniques into classics, including ray tracing, image upscaling through the likes of DLSS, and more doesn’t change how these games look or play overall. It gives them a fresh coat of paint and updated visuals, but they aren’t remakes or even remasters. What they are, however, is a glance at just how far gaming technology has come over the years.

Grand Theft Auto Fans Think They've Spotted Tommy's Vice City Mansion In The GTA 6 Trailer
Some eagle-eyed fans think they saw Tommy Vercetti’s island mansion in the Grand Theft Auto 6 reveal trailer. Even before Rockstar officially gave players a look at Grand Theft Auto 6, there were many rumors that the next entry in the infamous open-world crime series would return to Vice City, which serves as the GTA universe’s version of Miami. Grand Theft Auto 6 will take players to Leonida, the Florida-inspired state that Vice City is located in, and sure enough, an alternate universe version of the troubled town could be seen in the game’s trailer.

The Pokemon Company is Working on Addressing Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Criticism with Future Releases – Rumour
The Pokemon franchise has never really been known for coming anywhere close to pushing the envelope with its technical accomplishments, but recent years in particular have seen a number of the series’ mainline instalments being let down by the poor technical state they have launched in, from Pokmon Sword and Shield to Pokemon Legends: Arceus to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The latter in particular launched in such poor condition that Nintendo was forced to issue a public apology.
