Remembering the Geforce Leak

gamesreviews.com:

There’s an interesting thread over at Resetera where a poster has dug out the remaining games not yet officially announced from the infamous Geforce Now leak.

Nearly three years of confirmations have proven what a treasure trove this leak turned out to be, and that makes the titles still remaining conspicuous in their absence. And even more so for the potential some of them have.

The post, which has been put together by Mocha Joe, hints at cancelled or yet-to-be released PC ports, unannounced sequels and even some remasters.

And I’m going to start there, because when I see the probably cancelled remasters that were on this list, I always get a little sad. For anybody who has played Portal RTX, you know what an incredible difference it can make. Carefully chosen, some titles from that era could literally lead the charge when it comes to the potential for raytracing. And two carefully chosen games on that list include Batman: Arkham Asylum and Bioshock. Two absolute no-brainers.

On the one hand you have the play between shadow and light of Arkham Asylum. Light is so important in that game, and a RTX remaster would feel closer to a remake for the difference it makes. And Bioshock, if pulled off correctly, would prove the impact on vibe. Between reflections on glass tubing and light shining through water, it would be incredible to see.

As it happens, I looked this up a few months ago and it looks like it was cancelled. Huge disappointment.

The rest of the list is mostly still up for grabs. Appearing on the list is by no means a confirmation of a release. Still, as a snapshot of what was coming, it remains extremely postiive.

Still potentially to come are ports such as Ratchet and Clank, Crash Team Racing Nitro Refuelled, Halo 5, Demons Souls and Gran Turismo 7. Given Sony’s current efforts to port their games over to PC, some of these aren’t so much surprising as they are comforting to see. Demons Souls is a top quality effort that deserves a wider audience. We can
