Ray tracing is a money grab.

I'm sure that enough people are mad about this that we could all chip in and have concrete road barriers dropped off in front of the entrance of every one of Ford's private and business properties...
I mean devices with non-replacable batteries, once the battery fails the entire device must be replaced. Single used then trash.
Fuck the flavours, ban single use batteries in every application.
Was there an accident or were you born with your colon terminating inside your skull?
Titanfall 2 is 9 years old and looks pretty damned good compared to recent releases. The biggest jump I have seen in graphics was HL:Alyx and a lot of that was VR letting you press your eyeballs up against the windows to see the sweaty hand prints.
There is plenty of room for publishers improve without leaning on new hardware features.
Game development is about maximizing revenue while minimizing development costs. There won't be many more Mysts, Dooms, Quakes or Half Life 2s in the gaming future. Get ready for "Generative AI" stories/levels and ever increasing hardware feature set requirements.
Game engines don't have to simulate sound pressure waves bouncing off surfaces to get good audio. They don't have to simulate all the atoms in objects to get good physics. There's no reason to have to simulate photons to get good lighting. This is a way to lower dev costs and increase spending on the consumer side, I would not be surprised if Nvidia was incentivizing publishers to use ray tracing.
The Canadian government is in favor of anti-union behaviour. See the last year of strikes and government intervention.
I bought a ThinkPad in 2022 and I think it will be my last. All the things I loved them for are now an optional extra or just gone altogether :/
I think he only got to the planning stage.
Game engines don’t have to simulate sound pressure bouncing off surfaces to get good audio. They don’t have to simulate all the atoms in objects to get good physics. There’s no reason to have to simulate photons to get good lighting. This is a way to lower engine dev costs and push that cost onto the consumer.
