Check my later updates, they have been talking to me, and I’ve let them know all the people I know who worked on things. I’ve got a 2080ti coming my way

It makes the game look worse than the original game.
Now, I think I should be more specific. The original game doesn't look bad at all. It's artstyle and graphics fit it's purpose.
Adding the new rtx lighting makes everything look too realistic and adds unneccessary bright and potentially blinding light sources to the game, that clashes with it's "simple" artstyle.
As a tech it's interesting, but using it for old games doesn't add anything, it rather interferes with what made the original games so visually appealing IMHO.
Also, has anyone thought about the visual concept of "suspension of disbelief"? What I always liked about old videogame graphics is that they don't look like reality; sometimes they do like to display walls, characters, textures and stuff, based on real life counterparts, but you're brain always knows its not real, therefore it's easier to accept it and immerse yourself into the game.
I find it relaxing to look at non realistic looking graphics. Same goes for sprite or pixel based graphics or low poly, dirty looking textures like PS1 graphics. To me they don't look worse than todays graphics. They still look great, albeit different.

Well the update runs much better on my 1060, finally a realistic taste of raytracing.
It looks good

I still feel that path tracing mod made year ago by that single guy was more impressive.
It did not made any changes to models or game. It just added ray tracing instead of normal rendered.
It showed a great difference between the same assets but with different rendering methods.
This is a proper remaster though. new materials, textures and particles
