I didn’t even realize they even had any active development on Q2RTX up to this point… Six years is a long time to support what’s basically a novelty tech demo.
It’s funny to me that 6 years latter, we still don’t have fully ray traced lighting like this in very many games.
So we haven’t even seen the payoff of Nvidia’s expensive fucking hardware and they are already abandoning software that does show it off.
Lack of adoption of ray tracing is one thing, but halting development on a 6-year-old tech demo is completely reasonable on all fronts. They aren’t even delisting it from Steam or anything, it’s still fully playable.
Turns out speculative value is made up.
be me
want to try out this new rtx thing
choose to boot up a classic, portal 1
I guess it looks prettier
consistently runs at 30> fps with constant frame drops
why were people hyped for this again?
