I honestly don’t see the appeal for paying $800 for marginally faster ray tracing because it simply makes puddles more shiny
I suppose it depends on the angle from which you view it.
Same. And I’m sick of all these stupid puddles everywhere. It’s like how everything two generations ago looked wrapped in plastic because card makers were shovelling specular lightmaps or whatever.
It’s just the vapid faces of fashion. A bullet point for the investors that’ll impress for a moment, then be forgotten.
Control was the first game that made me “get” raytracing because everything else felt like a gimmick
Yeah I was specifically thinking of Remedy with Control as a shop that makes good use of the tech to put forward an aesthetic that isn’t just flash and chrome.
But I believe they could make a beautiful game with a Voodoo 2 lol, they’re that good.
It’s a photography/film technique
Games do it to “cheat” realism
