at this point you have to assume that trans/gay/bi/black/hispanic are a part of all large and small developers...they may not always make videos or go on Twitter talking about it but they are there...all of your past, present and future games will be made by a diverse group of people...the world is already this way...if you don't like it you can always move to Uruguay

are you referring to software ray tracing or hardware RT?

Hardware. They can make it trace full polys, but performance is bad that way, so they usually have much lower poly geometry they use for ray tracing. You can often see toggling views of it in technical showcase type videos. This isn't just a ue5 lumen thing, pretty much all engines with ray tracing do that for performance reasons.

Software lumen uses an even lower approximation that's not even polygons.

what about path traced games?...still using low polygon?

Yeah, typically lower polygons for path tracing too. It isn't just all lower poly meshes though, they do differeing LOD based on distance and all of the same tricks they use for the polygons you actually see, just with even lower polygon stuff.

Another game that requires hardware ray tracing GPUs, also a UE5 game. Along with Ace Combat 8, looks like a new trend of ray tracing hardware GPU requirements for upcoming games is becoming a thing. At this point just about everyone who wants to play modern games should have some type of GPU that supports hardware ray tracing, but if you're on older 4-5 year old mid range GPUs things aren't going to look or run very good for you going forward I would think.
 
I'll just dust off the Xbox for it. Proabaly will have to take it outside and blow it out at this point.

I'm glad to see more games support HW RT instead of software RT

Consumer video cards supporting hardware ray tracing have been around for 8 years. id Tech 8 also requires hardware ray tracing. And people still bitch about the SSD requirement when those have been around for much longer.

Yes but some of those are barely usable for ray tracing. RTX 2060, etc.

Problem is ray tracing often requires frame generation to get decent frame rates and that uses a lot of VRAM. I found 12GB to be insufficient for a number of games if using frame generation with ray tracing. Even with Death Stranding 2 I found frame generation resulted in stuttering and VRAM usage was too much for my 5070ti with 16GB, and that is only at 2560x1440. I can see people using something like a 3060 really struggling with this. This was always true for raster games as well but ray tracing does require a good bit more relatively.

Trying to run a game on an >8 year old video card now would be like trying to run Doom 2016 on a 9800GTX.
 
Looking forward to more Gears, just because it's mindless fun. That said, prequels are tough to nail. If you throw too many new/zany things at Marcus and Dom now, it's tough to explain their reactions in future games. Either that or they just DGAF and they throw the kitchen sink at him in this game and explain it away by saying "it's Gears, the plot isn't why you're here."
 
Dang, I wasn't paying much attention to this and was excited for it until I saw one of your squad mates is an androgonous black lesbian and your Captain is another girl boss that looks the same as that ODST girl boss in the new Halo CE remake, and she gets to stand up to the evil white male Colonel for ordering them to do something she doesn't like. I may pirate it at some point or pick it up for $5/free if it's ever available for that. Sad that identity politics has claimed another one of my favorite series. 😞

Is Microsoft just going to use the same female character model in all their UE5 games going forward?

oh my God...you again and your crazy rants...hopefully all games moving forward are like this that way you never have to play another game in your entire life

Well most western game studios (and media in general) have been idealogically captured by this leftist propoganda so I'll likely not play any more from them at least. But I'm confident that since most of the Asian/eastern studios (noteably Capcom who has been dominating western studios for year now) have resisted it at this point, I'll be able to enjoy their games for the forseeable future. But there are also more indy studios now more than ever that are encroching on western studio's market share since they're not building games within their HR's DEI constraints and by committees who think we're all idiots that need arrows, lines, and paint to show us where to go in an already on-rails linear game.

I have to wonder for those like you that remain completely ignorant to the propoganda though; where's the line for you to not play a game as long as the "game play is good and that's all that matters"?

What if these bloated western games studios were constantly making games with Christian white-male protagonsists that only fought against blacks and minorities while preaching about how great God is all the time? Would you still play that as long as the graphics were good and the game play was adequate? Every time I see a minority woman in a role only a male could do or an LGBT insert that would have definitely killed themselves or died in any apocolype situation, that's them saying "God is good, go with God!" to me. That's how I see this garbage. It's a religion to them because they otherwise have no religion and I don't want to be preached to in games where I just want to shoot things and see numbers go up to have a good time.
