Ray-tracing support

If you have the supported hardware, Until Dawn has been built with a curated set of ray-tracing features, such as shadows, reflections and Ambient Occlusion.

UE5 though so who even knows what they mean by that at this point.

We may finally get the Ray Tracing effects (shadows and reflections) that Rockstar added to the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions.

Rockstar may finally bring Ray Tracing to Grand Theft Auto 5 PC

What this means is that we may finally get the Ray Tracing effects that Rockstar added to the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of GTA5.

it has been 84 years....

but seriously, I also will take that with a grain of salt like John says in the article. I would like it, but Rockstar is very slow to move on PC for anything... if ever!

Personal anecdote time: I have literally zero interest in sports games. Futbol (soccer), NBA, NFL, NHL, and whatever baseball is called at the national league level... Zero interest in them whatsoever. But man, if NBA2k25 is indicative of "good" animation for sports games, JFC I'm sorry for all of you who do enjoy those games

This is as good as it gets in sports games unfortunately.

Darksiders 2 Definitive Edition is launching Oct 15th with ray traced lighting and shadows.

Darksiders 2 will get a free Ray Tracing Update on PC

THQ Nordic has announced a free update for Darksiders 2 Deathinitive Edition which will add Ray Tracing to the game.

It's an update, "Deathfinitive" Edition launched some years ago.

That’s pretty random. It may be a test bed for their exploration of RT. Hopefully they update the more recent games too.

 

[DegustatoR]

Doubt that it's a test bed of anything. They seem to be using UE for their newer games so this update won't transfer anywhere.

Some bored engineer’s side project then.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is launching with ray traced shadows (and possibly reflections).

Now we just need to know if they'll finally show crashes with properly self shadowing smoke when you try to fly Bojoing (finnish term for crashing Boeings, meaning more or less the sound of "bouncing")

GOW Ragnarok may be getting some RT support in the future:

Matt DeWald: For the cube map reflection stuff, we tried to get DXR working properly with that, but we just weren't able to do it, so that's falling back to just basic cube maps in that area. What we realised is that due to the number of reflective surfaces and overall environment, ray tracing is most noticeable in the one scene that Stephen McAuley called out in his GDC talk [around 23:00 in the Realm Between Realms. Given the time of the project, we've pushed that to the side for now. We're hoping to get to that post-launch if we can get DXR working the want we want it to.

How God of War Ragnarök was ported to PC

God of War Ragnarök is now out on PC, so we spoke to the team responsible to porting the game from PS5. We cover shader compilation, DX12 challenges and more.

www.eurogamer.net

From the phrasing it sounds like they weren't able to transfer the way PS5 does reflections to PC and tried to do them with DXR RT instead but that didn't work either for some reason (time/budget probably).

I'm going to presume the RT shadows don't have the billinear-filtered-huge-pixel-edges of the current shadow technology, which would be a welcome thing.

The performance of ray tracing is inherently scene-dependent, isn't it? Some scenes will have less ray coherency or more bounces, others will have more geometry to test against. If developers wanted to ensure consistent performance across a game, how would they do so? Find every scene with frame rate drops and ask artists to change it? Scale the number of samples per pixel? Just implement dynamic resolution scaling?
