“We’re cherry-picking some of the greatest titles from the past decades and bringing them into the ray tracing age. Thus, we’ll be giving them state-of-the-art visuals while keeping the gameplay that made them great. The NVIDIA Lightspeed Studios team is picking up the challenge starting with a title that you know and love but we can’t talk about here.”

 

Lightspeed Studios  

 

I wonder which game it will be  

[Playstation Tablet 1,725]

Quake 2 RT looks like shit.

Waste of time.

They're talking about Crysis.

I don't think so.  I think they can only do it with games that have been open sourced.  They don't have the right to release versions of games that aren't.

 

Edit... I guess it could mean unofficial mods as well.

I think Crytek might be making a Crysis remake anyway though... and I wouldn't be surprised if it makes use of their RT tech.

 

It could just be nothing... but the last thing they show looks pretty much like an updated Crysis.

Oh yeah, the location, the music, the suit power up sound. That's got to be some kind of indication.

Yep.  It would be so cool to see Crytek come back with Crysis.. and kind of rebuild their studio, engine and brand.

Super exciting

While we're on the topic, AMD is rumored to enable ray tracing on current Navi cards in December.

We can probably expect 10 series level of performance I'm sure.

Yea somewhere around there.

Ray tracing: 

[jehurey 3,227]

What if its Deus Ex?  You think the owner of that game would license it out for a re-release with raytracing added to it?

They are going to need something to give to RTX owners when the industry adopts AMD's ray tracing standard in the upcoming years.

AMD will not have a standard.  You simply refuse to... or don't understand how these things work.

 

Remember when PS4/XO had AMD gpus and GCN architectures... and how it meant that games were going to perform better on AMD PC hardware..... remember that?

 

Yea... we do too  

 

DXR and Vulkan are the standards... AMD and Nvidia have their solutions which work within that standard.  DXR and Vulkan are the APIs which developers use to create games....  Nvidia and AMD gpus will be DXR/Vulkan compliant...  

 

Standards come from the APIs.... not from the hardware you fucknut
