Deathloop Supports Ray-Traced Shadows at 4K and 60FPS On PS5

Deathloop is out later in May. It is a PS5 console exclusive that is developed by Arkane Lyon and supports some PS5 exclusive features as well.

[darthv72]

That is awesome to hear.

[Zhipp]

I'll believe it when I see it. As of yet there hasn't been a truly native 4k, 60fps AAA title on these next gen systems afaik. Add ray tracing on top of that and it just seems impossible.

[Visceral89]

Graphics look last gen, classic Bethesda

[slavish0]

it's Ray traced shadows not reflection

[DJStotty]

"As of yet there hasn't been a truly native 4k, 60fps AAA title on these next gen systems"

Not quite sure what news you have been following Zhipp, but pretty much the next gen games, are 4K @ 60fps, granted, some may not be released yet, but they are coming, all with raytracing.

[Kornholic]

Native 4k is a waste of resources.

[Neonridr]

I guess ray traced shadows is better than no ray tracing at all. Just don't confuse this with ray traced lighting.

[Eonjay]

There are like 5 different types of Ray Tracing that can be a accelerated by the hardware in these new consoles.

[Neonridr]

yes but lighting is the big thing, but also one of the most taxing. Shadows is still welcomed, don't get me wrong.

[Sunny_D]

@Neon

Wouldn't it actually be reflections that's considered the bigger thing?

[Neonridr]

@Deep_Space_One - Ray traced audio is not something that would be handled by the GPU though. I don't think that relates here since these next gen systems have high end audio chips capable of recreating 3D sound.

@Sunny_D - perhaps, either way it's more taxing than shadows. The original term ray tracing was used to describe photo-realistic lighting (as close as we can get to this point). People simply downvote me for trying to express that people will read ray tracing and assume it's some next gen lighting or even reflections. Reading comprehension isn't always top notch on this site. To each their own though.

[waverider]

Next gen tech on next gen game. Always a Good thing.

[SierraGuy]

Wrong ...give me raytraced shadows over lightning any day.

[SullysCigar]

Agreed. Some people just like to try for negative spin on good news.

[Neonridr]

@SierraGuy - how would ray traced Lightning work? does the lightning give off ray traced lighting?

@SullysCigar - I even said that the ray traced shadows would be welcomed, but if you want to spin my spin, feel free.

@Neonridr

"I don't think that relates here since these next gen systems have high end audio chips capable of recreating 3D sound."

Creating a 3D audio environment is one thing but RT Audio allows the sound from audio sources to bounce off of objects in your environment until the sound reaches you. Similar to how the reverb audio system works in R6 Siege but RT Audio would be MUCH more accurate Vs that system. So having both RT Audio and 3d audio together should really blow our minds in theory.

[Goozex]

Deathloop is a must buy!

[LucasRuinedChildhood]

It looks very good but I genuinely don't want to give Xbox any more funds to build even more of a monopoly, tbh.

The Xbox division was not profitable enough to afford Bethesda (they're the least profitable of the big 3), but they have the backing of a super mega corporation so they can just buy up a big chunk of the industry regardless.

It's not good for the industry. I've defended Xbox a lot from fanboys on this site but I genuinely don't want to support them at all going forward, especially after trying to make Xbox Live Gold €120. In time, they're going to fleece their consumers once they can get away with it

[Father__Merrin]

Watch game pass price go up GPU will defiantly hit £14.99 in the UK so around $19.99

[UltimateRacer]

Fleecing there consumers is what MS are best at.

[Sunny_D]

Bruh just buy it used.

[Zhipp]

M$ will charge as much for gamepass as they feel the market can handle. At the moment theyre not even charging the full advertised price, but I'm sure they will at some point in the future. It's always a balancing act. Doubling the price doesn't actually give them anything if they lose half their subscribers as a result.

[slavish0]

wtf does this comment have to do with 4k60 with raytrace shadows on ps5?🤔

[glennhkboy]

We don't trash-talk on your PS exclusive. We don't trash-talk on Sony's monopoly on IP like SpiderMan. If an exclusive game is good (like Horizon Zero Down or Spider Man), it is good.

[LucasRuinedChildhood]

@glennhkboy

Let's not rewrite history. There was a lot of talk about how unfair the Spider-man exclusivity was (e.g. by big Youtubers like AngryJoe) and there was fury just recently over the exclusive Spider-man DLC for Avengers with articles written by IGN and even the BBC (meaning it gained mainstream attention).

https://www.google.com/amp/...
https://www.ign.com/article...

Media outlets had more concern over a DLC than MS taking Starfield, Elders Scrolls, Fallout, Doom, Wolfenstein, Dishonored, The Evil Within, etc and removing a HUGE chunk of the industry from other platforms.

It's ridiculous. At least Spider-man was neglected under Activision with a long string of mediocre games. There was some benefit and it was ultimately just one franchise. This is on another level.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

@Father_Merrin

$20 x 12 = $240 which is roughly 3 $70 titles plus some snacks

Even at $240 it's not a bad deal

[BenRC01]

6/10 all over it.

[Futureshark]

4K60fps gaming, I love it!

[thorstein]

but....but... all the haters before launch said that would never happen. It's only been half a year.

[BenRC01]

Have you seen it? Hardly pushing anything graphically.

[LOGICWINS]

Great! As it should.

[spirited]

Not surprised as game does not look as demanding

[thorstein]

Change your username to Facepalm.

[BioShockGX]

True. And it's just a dishonored reskin. Not sure why people are excited for this game.

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

Because it's a playstation exclusive and Sony fanboys act like EVERY Sony exclusive is the second coming of Christ...

[medman]

Cool. Looking forward to this game....a lot.

[waverider]

Good performance, another new game coming, another new experience

[Hellcat2020]

It was a must buy till the recent gameplay trailer.
The enemies are ridiculously dumb
The guns look weak
I preordered RE8 instead

[Zjet]

It also supports online only DRM....

[SierraGuy]

Right up MS alley.

[ocelot07]

If the game is good then I have no issues paying retail price on release.

[nyckrazy]

Not Surprised. Visually, This looks like a ps4 level shooter with dishonored mechanics.

[Orchard]

Good, especially on the framerate - 60FPS is essential for a game like this.

[Father__Merrin]

Many auto assume RT = reflections etc it's much more than that

[tombfan]

I think shadows are one of the worst forms of Ray Tracing, but yay!

[SierraGuy]

Your absolutely clueless.

[sourOG]

That’s just icing on a sweet ass cake. I’m hyped for this one. The video showing off the guns was a little underwhelming but all I need is a good shotgun to be happy.

[Father Murder X]

You Sony boys make sure you buy the game and support Microsoft's effort to bring order to the galaxy. The darkside of the force is a pathway to things that many consider unnatural.

[thorstein]

O.. man. I forgot about the fanboy war. It's so important to deride each other while neither company cares about any of you.

[galmi]

Sony boys 🤣🤣🤣
28514;😂😂

[XxINFERNUSxX]

Wait for the superior version, PC of course 😁 (Platforms: PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows) Only exclusive for 1 yr on PS5, PC is releasing on the same date.

[JangoMan]

I'm so much interested in this game. Cant wait

[Nebaku]

Cool! Maybe they should consider making fun gameplay too.

[DJStotty]

"It is a PS5 console exclusive that is developed by Arkane Lyon and supports some PS5 exclusive features as well."

I would fully expect it to have exclusive PS5 features, seeing as, you know it is PS5 exclusive.
