Watching someone have to manually manipulate the lightning to a single room makes me realize how much work really goes in to a game. Imagine you clock in at 8am and all day you're just tuning and retuning lighting variables for each and every location in the game for a setting not everyone will be able to experience. Then imagine this person being told there will be an enhanced edition but everything can be done by toggling a single setting. Crazy how far we've come in two years.

Actually it's the thing you described - 9.00 you load a single project ( like this room) tweaking it to 21.00 with a constant doubt if its a right setting. The next day is the same, sometimes its a whole stress week on a single stupid scene with tests like in the video. 3D game development is the same as building a Skyscraper on Government money - a very stressful job.

I can imagine. I'm a modeler and texture artist and occasionally do lighting. Digital artists spend hours upon hours tweaking and perfecting our work. Metro was made by a team who clearly loved their work and had great passion for the project. In my personal work, I'm used to using ray tracing and GI in VRay renders which take a very long time to calculate (two hours for my last project) and that was just for a still image. I never thought we'd get real-time light bounce like this. The quality is going to rival pre-rendered cinematics very soon.

Ray Kurzweil calls that an s-curve of progress, if his predictions are accurate (supposedly 86% accurate thus far) these will happen more and more where you will have lulls and then larger and larger leaps in progress each time. Politics and other factors can inhibit or accelerate progress, but his arguement is that it happens regardless as this is an exponential effect. He wrote a book called "The singularity is near" in 2005 ish, and has another book end of this year called "the singularity is nearer". So if you continue on for many years, that "2000's" feeling will probably return. Again, if his ideas are accurate, looking forward to see his thoughts in his next book. Which he says has been difficult to write because of the speed of progress.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how they handled the PS5/Series X versions. They promised a lot in their spec sheet, almost to the point it sounds too good to be true. I believe they stated native 4k 60fps with all RT on aside from reflections. I played some of the game on the PS4 Pro and I just couldn't get used to the weird input delay. It's the only AAA FPS game I've played that had such a bad input delay, hopefully that won't be a problem with the next gen ports. Fine aiming was impossible on consoles, no idea if they ever fixed it because I ended up playing on PC instead.

I think it is really lame that you have to use DLSS if you want to play with Ray Tracing. A desktop 3090 is still not strong enough for Ray Tracing natively at 4K resolution. Nvidia released this technology way too early. Maybe the 4000 series cards might just be able to game at 4K RTX without a performance hit and without DLSS crap.

@@cemsengul16 this has to be one of the dumbest comments I've read in a while. This is how technology works. You put out something new, this gives devs the opportunity to work with it and build better software for it. And it slowly gets better over time, both the hardware and the software improve. Getting raytracing to run in a performant way does not only depend on the hardware but also more efficient software. Also, native 4k rendering is obsolete, there is no reason not to use DLSS at least in quality mode as its actually looks better than native rendering in many instances.

@@cemsengul16 This game proves beyond a doubt that Nvidia DIDN'T release this tech too early. The visual upgrade provided by RT in this game is so huge, there's really no argument here. DLSS is an amazing tech that is helping to move us to a "post resolution" era, as the DF guys would say. The image quality in DLSS quality mode is great, better than native for a lot of fine details. If you don't like it, you can play at 4K native with no RT features, so what's the problem?

We've all been trained to see very two-dimensional shadows as "correct" in games.

Artists have gotten quite good at faking local lights in a scene, so our eyes tell us that it's all prerendered and drawn by an asset artist. But once you realize that it's all being calculated in real time, it changes everything. It looks so good, that our eyes tell us that it looks weird. How strange is that?

Not to mention, do you know how much time devs actually spend on optimizing games to look nice and run well on your PC? This type of RT makes most of that effort moot, because it takes a huge amount of ressources for little gain. For now, real time raytracing is a gimmick.

There is pretty much no way around it other than a mod called enblightpatcher which allows you to manually add all light source in your game as enb-lights(which arent affected by the limitation), but it takes absolutely forever and is so complicated.

Instead they went ahead with 2.0 & 2.1 and decoupled it from system load to be used wherever the user wants (even low/very low settings). It's also definitely not magic, there's a lot of work from Nvidia in AI & every single thing is actually mindblowingly impressive.

I think this game really shows what is possible when the whole art direction is re-thought with raytracing in mind. A really great showcase of the future. Some other comment mentioned how RTGI that sophisticated looks rather off, because we're used to what baked lighting looks like from all those years and I think they're right. In any case, I'm playing this game on a 10600K with an RTX 3070 OC-ed with the following settings at a locked 4K60fps, with dips down to 40 in lush vegetation: Ultra Preset/Normal RT/Raytraced Reflections/Tesselation, PhysX & HDR on/VRS Off/DLSS Balanced. I think Alex's settings will never dip below 60, but I have yet to encounter dips like I've seen them in the benchmark (maybe when I actually visit the Taiga region I will rethink these settings) and I made the tradeoff to see all the next-gen features for the price of some frames in certain situations, which is still considered a technically playable experience by most people .

I wonder if a film grain effect could mask that well enough, even if I know it's not everyone cup of tea, it would at least make the whole image more consistent.

"Can you see this noise on KZfaq?" Yes. Glad you explained it, cause I wasn't sure what was going on earlier in the video. Thought it might be light reflecting through water at first.

If you are watching it quit it because it is harmful and can cause problems to you psychologically, I think some people suicided because of how depressed they were watching it

@@marlbartony1621 no. Of course anything can be abused, I mean you can die from drinking too much water even, and for some particular people who are already in a bad state things that otherwise wouldn't be harmful for others suddenly actually can be. But beyond those edge case scenarios which exists for everything, porn isn't mf heroin or something. It's just porn, at worst it's shallow and empty.
