https://www.shacknews.com/article/114430/nvidias-new-lightspeed-studios-to-remaster-classic-games-for-raytracing NVIDIA is currently seeking employees to fill its new Lightspeed Studios endeavor in a bid to start remastering classic games to offer raytracing features. The news comes by way of "dev tech engineer" Alex Dunn, an NVIDIA employee who reached out on Twitter to potentially interested parties with a tweet. "NVIDIA is building out a studio to remaster classic games for raytracing! Anyone fancy joining the fun? (search "Lightspeed")," he wrote. Heading over to the page Alex linked (and searching for "Lightspeed," as he mentioned) does indeed bring up a whole list of positions waiting to be filled, as you can see below, but no indication of which games may be remastered in the future or how the selection process could potentially work. Hopefully more info will be coming soon about this.

If NVIDIA releases Ray Traced remasters, I wonder whether or not NVIDIA will pursue a way to make the games supported only on certain hardware. Like, lock the games behind a GeForce Experience access wall. I wouldn't doubt it.

It will be interesting to see what games NVIDIA decides are classics.

Well, unless they're DXR ports, I'll take a pass on it. Anything locked behind Nvidia proprietary runtimes I'll take a hard pass on.

Even if it's not a DXR port it still might be interesting depending on how much is redone and if the game will run at all on other hardware. If I heard they re-did Half Life 2 in 4K textures they have me interested regardless of Ray Traced lighting as long as it runs.

Hmm... Skyrim? messing with Skyrim never gets old, regardless of Bethesda re-releasing it for Alexa or modding it for the millionth time, so might as well toss it on there.
Or... Half life 2? add ray tracing and call it half life 3.
