Demon's Souls won't support RayTracing

Well... It does not use Hardware ray tracing. It still traced sdfs andscreen space and for Light... And is also very expensive (as much as hwrt basically).
It can but it is not usually. Besides metro every game I played with RT was just reflections and imo it doesn't worth the hit on performance since on action you almost can't notice these reflections.
Sucks I want to see this tech keep moving forward. Every game helps the end result will be worth it.
I feel like the armor and swords in Souls games are usually so "worn" that you shouldn't really be seeing detailed reflections, or at least they wouldn't be so apparent to be worth implementing RT instead of using those resources elsewhere.
Also, it's not like it makes Metro the undisputable best looking open-world game thanks to RT. Pretty sure most people would agree that Red Dead's lighting looks more impressive most of the time.
Well if raytracing is gonna half the performance then for me it's not worth it, you might not agree with the word overrated but I don't think it gives you the right to say my comment is "stunningly silly"
TLOU II is the best looking game I've EVER seen and it has No RT, 30 FPS and , 1440p....
True but it's not a fair comparison because it's a linear game.
That would be possible without RT, right?
If you've seen any of the gameplay footage released so far, you'd know that this isn't a particularly big bummer. This is seriously one of the best looking games ever made and we haven't even seen it running our own systems or on our own displays yet.
This is what I really don't get about the people complaining about this. You could make an argument for the game being the best looking game of all time, but now that you learned it doesn't have raytracing it suddenly... doesn't look as good? What?
As a Canadian: I am sorry but...
Edit: Also my comment was directed at the sentiment that was expressed by the collection of comments the poster had quoted.

If anything, people should be pleasantly surprised that it isn't even using raytracing yet it looks much better than games using raytraching.
This game is by far the best looking game on next gen so far. Even more impressive is the fact all the footage we saw is running on 60 fps with this graphics. Like seriously, how is that not impressive?
I think Ray tracing probably has a way to go before it's efficient enough to be worth the pay off. I am confident though, that we'll see widespread implementation as the generation progresses. Easy prediction I know, but I'm not surprised that some developers aren't implementing it yet
The idea of a 30 FPS capped quality mode without advanced features like raytracing seems completely pointless. Game looks very good in the promotional material running in the 60 FPS mode to be sure, but I'm kind of surprised they felt the need to follow through with including another performance profile option beyond that.
I've always felt like this is the most next-gen looking game that has been shown so far, so I don't really see a big issue here. Sure RT would be nice, but it would probably make everything look a lot worse if they had to expend a lot of resources on that one feature.
Alexx, sometimes developers choose certain features on their games because they have a particular vision. To get that vision executed properly, they may take things in or out depending on their budget, man power and time. They dont make games and hit check boxes for enthusiasts to brag about in forums.
If you took a sec to read Gavin's response, when they began making the game, they did so without RT in mind because it was likely still not a feature to be finalized until later. So they opted for their own set of features while delivering a magnificent revisioning of the original classic.
In a sense we are getting a bit ahead of ourselves. The gameplay we have seen so far points to a promising and impressive remaster.
I dont think even 4K native / 60 will be standard this generation yet we have people thinking otherwise. RT is also something people should not expect on every AAA game. If you keep tabs of PC gaming, RT is still very taxing on the most expensive rigs. (Even if you can run it, it would cost you more than $500 to do so on a GPU alone) All i will say is that RT was not something 99% of gamers were even thinking about prior to leaks of the systems. For me personally it was a nice surprise that it's being supported on a $500 console(s). Realistic i do not expect RT on every game and neither should everyone. Its a cool feature but it does not define what next gen is about.
Gonna sharpie this on a hat and make you eat it when TLOU Part 2 Remastered drops with Ray Tracing.
Have you read through this thread?
I see conflicting reports.
Just from people going off the first time we ever heard about the game, in the PS Blog post that had a bunch of blurbs on all the different games shown in the June showcase. That's the only time they've ever officially mentioned ray-tracing, which already made it seem unlikely, since other games with ray-tracing make it VERY known.
I honestly don't think I've seen anything in this game that looks better than TLOU2 or MSFS2020.
If you want a thing pointed out, way more geometry, higher-res textures, and generous tessellation in a game that's higher resolution and twice the framerate.
RT is the future of lighting, look at games like Minecraft RTX with full path finding RT and it looks so incredible. The tech just isn't quite there yet
I was also going to play in the performance mode, which I didn't expect to have ray tracing enabled.
I just can't see that to be honest. I go by the eye tests. And my eyes tell me TLOU2 looks just as good.
That's fine. There are people that say Breath of the Wild is the best looking current gen game. Still, if we're talking tech, Demon's Souls is better than TLoU2.
The ue5 demo didn't have raytracing in the sense that is being accelerated by hardware in current gpus, yeah, but it a fairly similar approach, where the most difference is that the scene is approximate as cubes and then raytraced instead of the intersection trees that the RT cores produce.
Seems to be the opposite on PC, particularly max ray tracing.
Nobody would have noticed without this being stated and I think that says a lot about the importance of ray tracing is to begin with.
You guys have to be trolling.
