There's a fear that bringing something new to gaming is filled with much risk as gamers are quite the fickle bunch. But as with the recent Dead Island and now RAGE it seems new IPs are making waves amongst gaming communities.

Rage from id Software and Bethesda Softworks was largely overlooked, yet its handcrafted FPS open world and memorable characters transcend genre convention.
YouTube’s members ‘Digital Dreams’ and ‘Jose cangrejo’ have shared some videos, showcasing Pascal Gilcher’s Reshade mod – which adds Ray Tracing/Path Tracing effects – in some really old games such as Star Wars The Force Unleashed, Crysis 2, RAGE and Resident Evil 6.
I'm still learning how to look for the differences. At first I was focusing on shadows for some reason but I don't think that changes much, is it reflections that change?
It supposed to add more realistic light Not actually more light effects and explosions
I hate to say it but I’m fine with fake lights, shadows, reflections. I just kind of like the effect, it’s also great it saves resources for other things.
I’ve been checking out some original Xbox games on x360/x1x and the engine has fake light streaming in through a stained glass window, and I love it even though I know it’s not real time lighting. Heck it even shifts as I move about.
I’ve about convinced my self rt and hdr just doesn’t work for me. Before hdr I would even complain damn why are the headlights killing me they are so bright.
I notice most frame rate, then jaggies, then resolution; with the last two interchangeable depending.
Other day watched an enthusiast rave over 4k and the poor guy was in 1080p. I played the same game the night before and thought wow this is clean, I wonder if it’s 4k, but knew differently and I thought wow even resolution is not always important. The next day he apologized and was surprised he could be fooled.
How come the lightsabers don't give off any light? Even in the EA star wars game the guy uses it to light up a dark cave. I guess if it is using frostbite it will support rtx cards.
Looks like a decent year for new ip's rage and dead island have sold positively and also dark souls (it is technically a new ip)
Well deserved, great game!
p.s wow, 360 version almost caught upto resistance 3
@blumatt
"Umm, who cares? lol" .. people who want the series to keep going.. not that I am one of them lol
Its odd, infamous 2 hasnt hit a million yet, resistance 3 is being outsold by new I.Ps just what the hell is going on!? :S
With some of the best graphics on consoles, that's not surprising at all.
Both rage and resistance 3 performed much the same critically! they averaged about the same and rage didn't get many Ads yet this one sold better in the states! perhaps its because its multiplatform! I guess Resistance 2 really put a bad taste in alot of peoples mouths! Still I'm glad at least that Rage did well! Resistance 3 should have been pushed more! Biases should have been pushed aside! Dead Island wasn't that great! But it was greatly marketed! oh well!
Thats actually pretty bad for 3 platforms and a hyped-up for-the-last-5-years title, I got it for free so I'm cool with it, but if I had spent $65 on it I'd be PISSED!
