In the last few weeks I have read the phrase "forced Ray Tracing" more times I would like. As if a secret cabal of CTOs is conspiring for world ray tracing dominance.
Something broke people brains at some point and it makes me sad. Imagine If people cried "forced normal mapping!" in 2005.

Looks like DS2's OST might have been finished. Gotta say I love these little daily peeks into game dev that Kojima gives, something I wish more AAA devs did.

Also, I can't wait to play DS2...(pls be soon 😭)

Just read a silly take on ray tracing not being noticeable.

Nah

Piss on something other than lighting if you want to talk about marginally meaningful art/tech improvements in games.

Lighting is one of the most powerful levers around to make something feel quality regardless of level of detail.
