Seems to be just Ravenholm and Nova Prospekt for now

Half-Life 2 is $1.99 right now if you don't have a license.

Oh boy! Can't wait to see a 20 year old game run at 720p to get playable fps on a $1600+ GPU!

Don't worry, by running it at 480p with upscaling and stuffing it full of weird AI-generated fake frames, you'll barely notice the difference!

Some people do act this way sadly

eh, tech demos can run like shit, i wouldn't play it until a few gpu generations have passed

edit: I caved, gonna try it today

edit2: oh yeah, 15 fps at 1080p native on my 6900XT, disabling secondary bounces helps but not by much (worth noting im on default settings, apparently there are presets too)
