I guess it’s ‘near photoreal’ if you’re on acid? Which of course I have never done, I don’t condone drugs use but I heard from a friend that DMC5 is basically like a bad acid trip? A near-photorealistic acid trip.

No RT. The console isn't even out, yet there goes the "it's the same graphics but at 1440p or FHD" premise for the Series S.
Looks like CAPCOM didn't want the SeriesS to render at 900p or lower.
How does the SeriesS compare to the One X then?

Seems a bit weird. If games like Watchdogs Legion can have RT on XSS, then surely this can too? The RT+60hz would definitely be problematic. RT+30hz should be fine?
This all depends on what RT variations (e.g., lighting, shadowing, refractions, reflections, etc.), sample size, complexity and quality that's being used. Maybe Watch_Dogs Legion RT on Series S isn't as complex as the XBSX/PS5, and works well within a 1080p-1440p/30fps budget. While DMC 5 just ain't happening regardless of how much paring back is applied.
One thing is for sure, the amount of content from Digital Foundry and NX Gamer will definitely be more interesting than this generation of gaming.
I guess that's true if one takes acid on a Hot Topic store.
Or maybe the GDK is even further behind for the XSS including profiling tools.
Considering the lack of seeing games running on even the XSX, obviously seen a couple now, but still.
Even if had to forgo RT reflections on XSS, I'd be more interested to see just how much affect it has in real world visuals.
Seems like the right choice. I tried DXR on at 720p with a 1070. I would prefer much smoother frame rates with it off and 1080p.
Beware, this is Watchdogs we are talking about. The first game was supposed to be 1080p on PS4. Besides I don't think the footage they showed was running on a XSS. It was never confirmed by Ubisoft.
I'll be honest in saying it's pretty confusing for me too.
I respect that they gave Series S RT hardware for the rare cases that perhaps they wanted it to be the baseline feature and they were using it for some weird hybrid techniques. But I never expected it to be used... on Series S as more than an augmentation. It's rated at about Geforce 1660 level, not even 1660TI. And nvidia only provides RT features on 2060 and above. I am still shocked to see it on Watchdogs.

I think it requires effort and until MS sells a boatload of them most devs won't bother. Either the $299 price point will matter or it won't. Time will tell.

Apparently by disabling the one graphics feature that should define the next generation of consoles.
Well. Yes. This generation of consoles or even the current pc space is far from a true ray traced title.
This generation will be defined by its cpu and ssd more than it will by it’s ray tracing and 4K.
The benefit of having RT hardware is that it can be used for multiple tasks not just reflections.
Example being audio.
So even if RT reflections are out, it doesn't mean other RT effects are also, things like that will be fleshed out during the optimization stages
Like you, where the XSS is positioned I'm more interested in how it performs and looks in real world, to see if the value proposition adds up and where devs scales for each title.
I'm also not judging XSX based on the little that we've seen.

A refresher on how things stood before this became special: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/...l-may-cry-5-tech-analysis-all-consoles-tested
Poor performance. I ask myself why they did so much things using raytracing.
Why use it for illumination too, very strange choice.
EDIT: and why this shit
- If the game detects your display supports 120Hz, it will ONLY output in the resolutions that the 120Hz mode supports. For example, if you have a 4K TV that does 120Hz in 1080p, you'll never be able to run the game at 4K, only 1080p.
- If you have a 120Hz display, the game will run all modes uncapped up to 120Hz. There are no locked, stable frame rate options.
