The version of Resident Evil 2 Remake on PC made players feel terrified and not precisely because of its zombies. Last June, Capcom released an update to improve the game’s environment with ray tracing or ray tracing, making the game no longer support DirectX 11 versions.
The update forced users to upgrade to DirectX 12 and upgrade their PC specs in order to play Resident Evil 2 Remake with ray tracing. Capcom was quick to roll back this update and restore the original versions of the game, which meant that ray tracing was gone.
However, all is not lost. The modder community has worked its magic once again and has fulfilled the mission Capcom couldn’t: a mod that promises to bring back ray tracing without taking thousands of players away.
the modder AD Massicuro has created a mod that uses a technique called dynamic diffuse global illumination (dynamic diffuse global illumination, literal translation) to treat all sources of light, shadow, and reflection realistically, from the largest to the smallest. As we know that a video is worth more than images and a thousand technical words, you can see his work below.
The video indicates that a RTX 3090 TI graphics and that the gameplay has the Ultra graphics settings. From minute 3:34 you can see gameplay. The final look looks great, although it may not be to everyone’s liking.
AD Massicuro highlights that this mod is a project that is under development, but that I wanted to share to demonstrate its progress. In his Patreon you can be aware of the progress of this mod and all his work. The original version of Resident Evil 2 Remake it looks amazing, but you have to admit that the mod does an outstanding job.
