Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Most Impressive Ray Tracing game? Isn't that like coming 3rd in a two person race... Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,865 Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Honestly screen space reflections are more than fine, RT shiny shit is cool, but the performance cost is surreal. Who cares if RT can reflect things that AREN'T on screen while SSR can only reflect whats on screen. Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 8,347 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 it's cool, but it's not worth the performance cost. Link to post Share on other sites
102020393023445948594 2,223 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 watch this game be a banger after MS cut them. The Phil Spencer eye for quality Link to post Share on other sites

Again... once RT games become more common, the more you guys will see how wrong a lot of shit looks in comparison. I've said it before and I'll say it again... it'll all seem like "not much difference" "barely noticeable" "just a little darker"... and then one day it will be.. Jesus.. how the fuck did we ever think that looked good before? Guaranteed. Link to post Share on other sites

Jesus.. how the fuck did we ever think that looked good before? Guaranteed. well, that's the case with a lot of tech. soft shadows and tessellation didn't seem to add a lot, at first. now, there's no turning back. right now, we are conditioned for more primitive graphics techniques. however, that will change. plus, it won't be such a resource hog (remember how soft shadows dropped f.e.a.r's performance by half?) it's just too new to be widely appreciated right now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Jesus.. how the fuck did we ever think that looked good before? Guaranteed. It ain't that. You could be running this game at like 144hz instead and above 1080p. The tech is great. The issue is performance. Edited June 21, 2019 by Team 2019 Link to post Share on other sites
DynamiteCop 2,161 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Ray Tracing is the new bump mapping, and it's being exaggerated to the same degree it was when it was new. Link to post Share on other sites

LMAO What fucking difference does that make? If a game has it, fine.. if it doesn't... fine. ROFL. And I'd take proper RT global illumination, shadows, reflections and AO every day before I'd take HDR support. The irony being that your dumb ass doesn't even realize that half the HDR enabled games out there are completely faking it and aren't even really that dynamic in range. "Look!! Nier Automata looks so incredible on X!! Best on X! HDR makes it look so much better!! YAY!" Game is tested and it's basically SDR The clownery around here never ceases to amaze me.
