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.
interesting elements I haven't seen before, especially in Rage. ID is really going all out to make something that they never have before. Brink, looks to have much more variety on how you gear up your character and how you play.
I have to admit, though, I will probably get Rage on the PC, I am just imprinted to play ID games at a desk :P
identical graphical style in both games, and both look awsome, brink look more cartoonish while rage is trying to focus on reality...
i dont know, hard to choose the best from here
Looking forward to both titles, Rage wins graphically in my books but don't get me wrong, Brink still looks great.
Rage will look better, because id made the damn engine!
and feedback from the developers using Id tech 4, I expect 5 to look amazing.
(For those who don't know, Call of Duty 2, 3, 4, W@W, MW2 and Black Ops all use modified Id Tech engines...)
