Hello Folks,
you read the title. I’d love to play the campaign of Halo Infinite with extra visual effects like ray traced reflections and lighting. From the Footage I’ve seen so far it doesn’t look like ray tracing will be in the game. That would be disappointing for a 2021 Game to be honest.
343i have said in the past that if Halo Infinite doesn’t launch with ray tracing, it is on their radar for future updates. So one way or another, it will get it.
been confirmed for a while now
They will use it for general lighting and shadows. Oh, and some audio wizardry.
But not so much for reflections etc. That is going to be expensive on the GPU. I would much rather we got more players, vehicles, and explosions.
And the API’s are still very immature. It will be a gen or two of games before developers get the Series X to hum.
Hopefully we will be too busy running for our lives to worry about something reflecting in a puddle.
Doubtful for launch, given it some time in a future update. They have to stick the landing so to speak, so i’m sure ray tracing had to be put on the back burner for a little bit.
I have been a little disappointed by the offerings available on the Series X thus far as none have really blown me away. I am hoping that infinite changes that and one thing I would like to see is Infinite taking advantage of the DXRT in the series X.
