And if Alien Isolation is any indication, Doom 3 will most likely look incredible.īioshock Remastered also looks better with the newly introduced ray tracing/path tracing effects that this Reshade mod introduces. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again we really need to see Doom 3 with this Reshade. Alien Isolation is set in a claustrophobic environment and benefits greatly from this Reshade. With this out of the way, let’s start with the first game we’ve featured in this article, Alien Isolation. Still, this is a great way to overhaul the visuals of really old games. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again this ray tracing/path tracing solution is not as accurate as what can be achieved with DXR. YouTube’s ‘Zetman’ has shared some videos, showing Alien Isolation, Bioshock Remastered, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, Nier Automata and Dragon Age Origins with Pascal Gilcher’s Reshade that adds real-time ray tracing/path tracing effects via a post-processing solution to older games. Still, it’s a cool concept that may interest some of you.Īlien Isolation, Bioshock Remastered, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood & more with Reshade Ray Tracing This is mainly due to the lack of various light sources throughout the game’s level/levels. While the game does not look as flat as its vanilla version, it looks way more dark-ish than before. Last but not least, Manhunt is a mixed bag. Not only that, but thanks to the E3 mod Watch_Dogs can finally come really close to what Ubisoft showcased back in E3 2012 (though there is still not way to get those gorgeous explosions). However, the game uses a lot of light sources (that obviously do not bounce on different surfaces) and the visual improvement can be easily noticed at times. Watch_Dogs uses a lighting system that supports a real-time day/night cycle, so we weren’t expecting much. Surprisingly enough, Watch_Dogs also benefits from this Reshade Ray Tracing/Path Tracing mod.

The game still uses the old assets but we can safely say that it looks better than ever on the PC thanks to these Ray Tracing effects. Halo: Combat Evolved has new shiny surfaces and lighting bounce all over the place, something that greatly improves the game’s visuals. Still, the good news here is that this Reshade mod actually benefits these three games as they’ve been using a really old lighting system (well, with the exception of Watch_Dogs). This can result in graphical glitches or shadow pop-ins when the camera pans out that have not been fixed yet. Due to the way Reshade works, this mod only uses depth information available in screen space in order to provide these “path tracing” effects. Now as we’ve said and before, this Reshade ray tracing/path tracing is not as accurate or great as DXR or what most modern-day games will be using. These videos are using the alpha version of Pascal Gilcher’s Reshade mode a mod that adds cool ray tracing/path tracing effects to pretty much all DX9, DX10 and DX11 games. YouTube’s members ‘Digital Dreams’ and ‘EiermannTelevision’ has shared some videos, showing Halo: Combat Evolved, the first Watch Dogs game and Manhunt with Reshade Ray Tracing.
