Gamescom, one of the world's largest gaming events, served as the backdrop for NVIDIA's latest announcements. During the event, NVIDIA introduced several major innovations that are shaping the future of gaming.
20 BIG NEW Announcements from Gamescom 2024
A highlight was the introduction of NVIDIA ACE, a generative AI technology that enhances character interactions in games. Demonstrated in Mecha BREAK, ACE allows for more natural and responsive dialogue, thanks to NVIDIA’s Nemotron-4 4B Instruct, the company’s first small-scale language model designed for use on the device. This AI technology aims to make in-game characters more lifelike, and respond to players with more nuance and realism.
NVIDIA also announced 20 new RTX-compatible games as part of their celebration of over 600 RTX-enhanced titles to date. Games like Dune: Awakening and Dragon Age: The Veilguard were among the games showcased, each of which utilize advanced features like ray tracing and DLSS to deliver improved graphics and performance.
A notable release is Half-Life 2 RTX: An RTX Remix Project, a community-led remaster of the classic Half-Life 2. This update brings the iconic Nova Prospekt level to life with modern enhancements including full ray tracing, DLSS 3.5, and detailed asset upgrades, all designed to take advantage of the latest PC capabilities.
