I'm torn about the tech, but I'm also disillusioned. Raytracing and pathtraced global illumination is the way forward, and games will look better for it. But I detest how this tech is being used to drive consumption of over-priced hardware, and the marketing has been effective enough that a majority of gamers believe they really need a 2/3/4-series Nvidia GPU to have the latest bragging rights take advantage of this tech which really makes rather little difference at the end of the day when compared side by side. I have a mere RTX2060, and it's been enough to get a taste of what is possible but still, the vast majority of the games I play offer no raytracing support, and for those that do, it tanks performance so badly that I generally keep the option turned off. In other titles like Quake (raytraced mod) and Quake 2 RTX, I think the original baked lighting actually looks better. Ditto the Doom raytraced mod. It all comes back to Nvidia being very pushy about why every gamer needs their rtx cores to stay competitive.

It's because this is closer to a path tracing solution, where every aspect of the lighting is ray traced. Most games use little ray tracing hacks like just for reflections, or just for global illumination. Yea clearly RT hardware isn't fast enough yet to do it all. That been said this actually runs pretty well on my 3070 on high with DLSS quality mode on.

I am concerned about this because they supposedly used a console version of the game. Someone had analyzed the footage released, and there were a lot of problems. For example, the red beams from lasters no longer show up on the walls/ceilings/floors meant as a guide; the portal textures are not the same as the ones on PC but the dumbed-down versions for weaker machines (ala console) and a few other oddities.
