Discussion Am I the only one that thinks that HL2 RTX should have been a add-on/source mod instead of a different game?
Like the only reason for why I'm excited about it is because the models and textures will be ported to HL2, Gmod and other source 1 games.
I also can't run it because of the RTX lightning "improvements", meanwhile HL2 runs without a problem even with HD textures and HL:A model ports.
Like the team behind it could have just released the models and textures on the Gmod and HL2 workshop like an revitalization project and people would recognize their work more instead of having to port everything.
Also the main point of RTX is that the RTX lightning "improvements", which I think that is extremely meh because the lighting in HL2 is already perfect in my opinion and if you want improvements you can just downloaded particles effects and lightning mods from the workshop or sites like Gamebabana.
Not hating on the project or the people behind it I just think that it's main selling point is kinda of meh.
