Modder 'Safemilk' has just released an alpha version of his RTX Remix Mod for Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines.

Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines fans, here is something for you today. Modder ‘Safemilk’ has just released an alpha version of his RTX Remix Mod for this classic RPG.

As with all the RTX Remix Mods, this one will add Full Ray Tracing/Path Tracing to Bloodlines. However, since this is an alpha release, it may have numerous visual glitches. Also, it’s not representative of what RTX Remix can achieve. At least in its current state. I mean, even the modder calls it a “rough” release.

For instance, VTM:B uses the alpha channel as an emissive mask for many textures in the game. So, the modder did a rough pass of converting these to emissive maps and applying them to their corresponding textures. So now the things that should light up, should light up.

In short, you should temper your expectations. This mod is still in a very early dev stage. So, don’t expect it to look as polished as some of the other Path Tracing Mods we’ve shared. Still, this is a start.

RTX Remix, the gift that keeps on giving!

 

[amigastar]

Is it compatible with the unofficial community patch?

 

[Gonzito]

It looks quite good actually

 

[Toots]

Was waiting for an excuse to boot that masterpiece up again.

... I think some of guys havent seen the video to the end

While it can look good sometimes, most of the time its baked in shadows and you cant see shit

"Remastering" old games with RTX, specially those from an era with no SSAO that had shadows baked in textures require adding many new light sources. The modder havent done this here.

Still, appreciate the effort.

They also changed the assets, rtx alone is not gonna make look stuff more rounded

 

[poodaddy]

So how long till this is finished, does anyone have a guess? Seems like a pretty involved RTX Remix project, are we thinking at least another year?

Cuz me wants it bad.....

 

[Kiya's Guard]

Amazing shots, so there's progress being made?

If you look at the second thumbnail that certainly seems to be the case.

I assume these are from a heavily moded game, how does it look on the vanilla version? Or the remix needs mods to be fully effective?

saw the boobies in the video preview before any of the text.

all I will say is I ain't reading any of that stupid bullshit - I am playing it

That is the vanilla version. RTX Remix helps you update assets

Anyone else played this game and was scared shitless in that abandoned hotel?

 

[rofif]

Looks good and all but whole idea of rtx remake still feels and looks like putting a lipstick on a pig for me.
I like how these games looked originally.

well. Let's wait for final release. Half life 2 will be the real test

 

[Puscifer]

Anyone else played this game and was scared shitless in that abandoned hotel?

YES was a total 180

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Did the community fix most of the bugs and crashes in this game? I'll consider playing it again if they did

One of my favorite levels in videogames. I had literally goosebumps.

 

[Diogodx]

Most of us did. For me that quest is better than a lot of horror games. The tension is great.

Yep, it’s pretty solid. Been years since I replayed the game last time.

If there was one game that needed a proper remaster or remake….

 

[Braag]

Paradox not remaking this before developing a new one was such a huge mistake. It would have sold really well cause it has a sizeable cult following and the game itself is great, the gameplay is just super dated.

It would have been good training for whatever studio made it to then start working on a sequel.
Instead they have been handing the sequel to different teams, not knowing what they're even doing, restarting development constantly, it's just been a mess.

 

[SpokkX]

does this game work with a controller?

 

[existensmaximum]

does this game work with a controller?

Nope, not natively. I have played through the whole game using a key binder which worked surprisingly well actually. I remember having some kind of issue somewhere but overall, it's very playable and extremely enjoyable with a gamepad using that method.

 

[nikos]

Been wanting to play this for a while. Maybe it's time.

I don't usually force people to try out a game but this one is worth it, trust me.

 

[Danknugz]

is there a list somewhere of all the rtx remix projects?

 

[Flabagast]

Incredible stuff
