Forgot about this; it would appear there is only going to be one console version of this title: RT on.Just a refresher...

Just a refresher...
Yes, I'm totally on board with ditching the RT reflections in order to unify the lighting system around RT. Outside of a few games (like Control), I'm kind of tired of seeing reflections forced into games (like omnipresent water puddles, wet surfaces, pristine just off the sales lot cars everywhere, etc.) just for a game to shout out, "Look at me, I have RT!"
Now that Metro: Exodus has gotten rid of their sub-par minimal effort non-RT lighting, hopefully, the lighting will look good. I'm mostly interested to see if they've gotten rid of ambient occlusion hacks and if the RT has enough bounces to allow for natural light propagation to more naturally recreate those real life effects. If not then RT still isn't quite there. But I have high hopes.

Considering the number of ray bounces are spread across several frames (as with UE5), then I wonder if the console version simply spreads those bounces across more frames. Will be interesting to see.
if it holds 60 and looks fairly close to this, I'm sold. Buying a copy on release. I tried this title on gamepass, but I couldn't get into it at the time. Granted, good graphics don't make a game better, but I'm willing to make an exception to try a little harder this time around.

I really liked the first two games and am yet to play the third, but I never thought of Metro as a AAA game, to be honest.
Double-A (more than $10M, less $60M budget) would have been my guess.
I haven't played it for a while so maybe some patch improved it somehow, but Watchdogs Legion on the PS5 makes it look like 90% of near-future-London is made out of mirrors.

This.

This is extremly impressive. Just wow.
I am guessing those RTX 2060 benchmarks were without DLSS at native 1080p to make a fair native vs native comparison between 2019 and 2021? If so, then that's even more impressive that is runs that good on a 2060 even before DLSS comes into play.

buy better now cause update is free and now is cheap
it's everything I've ever wanted from RT. I wasn't sure how painful it would be on the hardware and historical tracking made it seem like something like this wouldn't be possible (especially on the low end of things). But to think we are going to be moving into this and leaving behind older lighting models in this current generation is extremely exciting for everyone really. We're seeing some good innovation here in the RT space within year; maybe 5-6 years down the road we're going to see even further innovation as we leave behind the older lighting model.

I just love one thing, the RT GI from flash lights, it looks awesome.
That looks ridiculously good. My GTX1070 is crying right now.
I’m not sure if he was referring to the difference in working between baked and unbaked. Or if he was referring to altering texture values for PBR to support an all RTGI type lighting system.
me 2. Lol. Gonna rely on the consoles for heavy lifting. Not sure if I can afford a new GPU right now
This video is actually making me excited about graphics. Maybe I'll actually play a game just to see the graphics again.
