Raytracing is a mem-

e

-e

see

It's the reflection shader for Reshade which is ACTUAL raytracing, it's just limited to reflections that are on-screen but it's still raytracing.

every "city" is a shithole that quarantines the poor, doesn't matter the region

Yeah why the fuck is it GREY during rain lol totally unrealistic

So they're screen space reflections, but less optimized? Wow! Better go order myself an RTX card now!

no it's not.

>RTX for a reshade shader
based retard you can turn it on with amd too

Wow I can get unoptimzed screenspace reflections on an amd card too? This really is the future!

If those are reshade can you post some on/off comparison pics?

There is no performance hit if you use the reflection shader. It also reflects every object that's onscreen unlike the SSR that's implemented in-game. If you use the GI shader your framerate says bye bye though.

Nothing to do with the shader being WIP, it's an inherent limitation of being screenspace only and will not get better because reshade can not get access to anything more. No amount of shader development will fix that.

I wonder how will raytrracing contribute to gameplay

This shit is so dark I didn't even know there was a character on the screen until I maximized it.

The character being a nigger above a black background also didn't help.

it won't make your game any less shit. checkmate!

what ps2 game is that?

Watch Dogs 2 is also a fun video game, in addition to being pretty.

very cool 7fps

>reflection shader for Reshade
that's not raytracing

I played both Watchdogs games, and I gotta say, they make me appreciate good animations in other games. Don't matter how pretty your game looks, with shitty animations, it is unironically SOULESS.

Also, it is not just those things you mentioned, in both games the animations are fucking horrible. NPCs move like robots, you have the literal same animation when you fall off a bike everytime, and so on. Bethesda games have better NPC animations. In years of work Ubisoft didn't get better on the in-game animation department, they actually got worse. The only games I played from them were AssCreed 1 and Watchdogs 1 and 2, and I don't remember AssCreed having animations so shitty, a game from more than 10 years ago.

Christ that looks like the most generic shlock. No wonder the devs just pushed the diversity/antifa meme to make the game sell with the braindeads.

That's a HUGE downgrade. In the first you could shoot homos, transfaggots, atheists, furries, unfaithful whores, and all sort of degenerates. It was the only reason to why I bought it, the game was FUN because of it.

2 is just an abhorrent meme vomit on top of a souless attempt at GTA.

Sounds like you have issues

Hey, Yea Forums. Just wanted to stop by and say that if you are in favor of OMG SO REAL GRAFIX then you have no right to criticize the existence of the "cinematic experience" games. High-end graphics and cinematic games go hand in hand, one cannot be prevalent without the other.

So the high end graphics you praise are what makes dev times so long only to have a mediocre movie game. Because you want graphics. Have fun denying everything I say to protect yourself from the fact that you've always been part of the problem, though. Cheers.

X qz me sweetie, but we are in an anonymous forum. Talk about the topic, not about the person posting.

My point is that the first game was a diamond in the rough, it could be better in some departments **The only charismatic character was the chink, the story was stupid, and the MC motivation was so generic it barely explained his motivations. In matters of gameplay, no melee for non-agressive NPCs sucked, and the animations were terrible.** but at least it had a feature that made it worthwhile. The second takes away that feature, and double down in all the bad things about the first. They simply learned nothing.

FUN FACT: Watch dogs 2 already has Ray tracing for shadows

I was never in favor of "realistic graphics".

Animations > Graphics. DMC4 is a prettier game than all of this modern trash, and DMC5 will also be regarded beautiful for decades to come, just because they put effort where it is really worth it.

Rent. Free.

It is at that performance

fairly sure there were people saying the exact same shit about tessellation when it first became a thing
don't worry, once the 2nd and 3rd gen comes around, it'll perform just fine, and contrarians like you will be forced to eat your hat(s)

Doesn't it have an option that don't make the game so fucking dark?

BING BING WAHOOs need to stay off graphics threads

No, you're correct. Although while consoles have fucking horrible performance and it shows, a game can only look good to a certain point.
Some games will look better than others regardless of technical tools, but the greatest advantage is how well things run.

I know who made this mod and no you fucking retard it's not ray tracing.

You are not gonna see anything impressive because OP is a retard who thinks that you can add proper ray tracing to the game with a reshade.

apparently digital foundry are also retards

Nintendo was ahead of its time... whoa...

What does that matter if it still gets the desired effect? Piss off. Ray tracing is a meme.

Best game of the N64, and only good animal character game ever. Unironically.

Rare*. They honestly were the best at great looking n64 games.

Absolutely teething. I bet you buy shit like NuRainbow Six and Watchdogs instead of ZombiU.

>reflection shader
So what's it look like without? I'm pretty sure watch dogs 2 already has reflections.
And does reshade know if it's raining in the game or not?

They are, it's just a glorified ambient occlusion with some reflections.

>it's just limited to reflections that are on-screen
so it's not an actual ray tracing

>glorified ambient occlusion
that's what I was thinking, it just looks like shitty exaggerated AO, weird that digital foundry gave it this much importance

Their Minecraft video with actual ray tracing was very popular, that was probably the reason why they decided to review this mod that had "ray tracing" in the name.

Only bible verse I know is Streets 1:12

No talent is required to """design""" hyper realistic stuff, you are literally just copying reality. No true artists, with actual vision, were involved in the RDR2 texturing, just geeks and nerds obsessed with realism. If they weren't employed, they would be making youtube videos tittled "unreal engine mario", "cartoon sequence but in realistic CGI", or "remaking CG scene of old movie to look better".

Fuck off underage

rtx is a meme. the only things it can manage at a reasonable frame-rate look no better than previous lighting methods. a 2080ti can't run quake 2 fully raytraced ("fully" meaning one sample per pixel with a denoising algo, so just barely) 4k at 30 fps.

As opposed to the toddlers with crayons they hired for BoTW?

>but talent is required to design a shitty low quality version of nature with some ruins, a green filter and cartoony cel shaded characters
bing wahoos please go

the RT shader really helps Crysis's lighting look less flat though, which is it's biggest issue today

i have no idea why they turned on SSR though

sleeping dogs looks like shit

Yes, it is

if you think OP's dull, grey garbage looks better, you're blind.

So you're saying they should have made San Francisco look like Hong Kong?

No, I'm saying since the thread is about rtx, the lighting in OP's pic looks way shittier than a game released in 2012, which means rtx is a meme. Try to keep up.

>glorified AO
Dear lord, it's almost as if one effect of global illumination is that it makes spots that are supposed to be darker (but aren't due to bad lighting) darker.

The shader looks really good in games that fully support it.

They're saying RTX is a meme

every big upcoming AAA game uses it

I can find more soul and uniqueness in one fucking balcony of commieblock than in the whole american city, suburbs included.

Level design, cinematography, costume design, character design, color theory, architecture, product design, weapon design.

You do realize there's just as much design involved in realistic graphics as there is in slapping flat textures on shit and using cel shading?

You're basically saying all movies are made without talent and involve no artists. It's all realistic, right?, so everything in the frame just automatically looks good, right?

This looks fucking horrible. Why developers are still chasing realism as their preferred "style" is embarrassing.
