The Persistence Enhanced Runs at 1080p@30 with Ray Tracing on PS5 & XSX; No RT Available on XSS

Firesprite Game Director Stuart Tilley revealed to Wccftech that The Persistence Enhanced Quality Mode will run at dynamic 1080p@30 with ray traced effects on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Xbox Series S won't have the Quality Mode with ray tracing, though.

1080p and 30...No, I'll just get the mode without ray tracing, thanks!

PC gamers don't have these issues, thankfully.

You PC gamers always have some sort of issues...don’t lie about it

[SavageFlamingo]

@MetalProxy Yes. Yes, we do. Even with the latest and greatest hardware.

So pc gamers with say gtx 1080's or 1070s or 980ti or Rx 5700 xt can do 1080p 30 with ray tracing on this game lol.

Dynamic* 1080p 30. Performance Mode is a Dynamic 4K 60. Ray Tracing means the game is rendering 1/8th the pixel output... Damn.

And here Metro Exodus is aiming for 4K60 with RT, assumed dynamic but still. RE Village gets close-enough to it with their limited RT too. The trailer really doesn't make it seem this has any open areas either.

The ray tracing in this game has too steep of performance penalty.

you need to remember that these consoles are made using AMD parts. the Navi2 GPUs are AMD's first try at hardware-based RT and they are a gen behind nVidia's RTX3000 cards. even on PC, RT on the new RX6000 cards are not worth it for now. the performance penalty is just too much as in getting 60fps is a real struggle.

HOWEVER, RT is a resource hog no matter which GPU you're using and IMO for very little or no benefits at all when it comes to gameplay. it looks nice and all but you have to stop playing the game to really appreciate it or you're just gonna miss it altogether. maybe on-rail picture-snapping game like Pokemon Snap would benefit from RT, other games, not so much IMO. I hope devs don't go the route of putting too much effort into RT that will compromise their game design. we're already seeing it now with useless puddles EVERYWHERE in so many games just to show the game has RT and that's very annoying! IF IT's up to me, I would let all games RT-enable BUT only in photo mode.

Cool I guess,.. Would rather play it again, the way it's meant to be played,.. with PSVR. It is not that game itself does not have a pretty great gameplay loop,.. but it is just not the same playing it flat.

This is just plain lazy, no thanks.

Wow this is bad.
