Raiders of the Lost Graphics: Where's The Ray Tracing, Devs?

[@paulrenfer2142]

Preorder/higher editions for early access shouldn't be a thing. It's making people pay to play the game on time instead of late.

[@MatthewCenance]

Wait, now the game that requires you to have a Ray tracing GPU, doesn't have proper Ray tracing at launch? Now that's insane logic right there!

I'm pretty picky with pre-orders as well. I don't find playing a few days ahead of others as a selling point for a pre-order purchase. I actually would prefer exclusive items with it. But it really depends on the game and how hyped I am for it. I have noticed with some games, the pre-order price on Amazon is cheaper than the price on release, atleast from what I've seen for a physical copy of new jrpgs.

Early access = Beta tester, and certainly never pre-order any games.

[@ankuriboh]

Studios releasing games broken, or offering early access to a broken experience, is one of the reasons I almost never buy anything on release and never do early access. I have occasionally done early access for small indie studios when I thought they could put the money toward a more ambitious second project.

I saw the leak footage some time ago, and i was just thinking it's more of a movie/simulator than anything else 😂

[@johngrant4470]

I "wait and see" on all AAA releases. Saves me a lot, since I have no trust any of them will deliver. I need the evidence of my own eyes.

[@MatthewCenance]

Why is this game requiring Ray-tracing to work? Fail. I don't like that being used as a crutch.

[@thatsnotoneofmeatsmanyuses1970]

I am mostly following the game's news for the ray tracing requirement to see what happens. I don't want it, and generally don't care about AAA. I just want to keep tabs on how much feature bloat I will have to accommodate, and how soon. Puppies rock.

Should be called Generic Jones and the Great Circle. Looks and sounds nothing like Indy. having watched Mauler play about an hour on the highest difficulty it looks very easy. Combat didn't seem involving mainly melee although you can pickup and throw items. Melee weapons are hugely overpowered and break over time buy only for the player. Enemy AI is bad there's no need for stealth, the puzzles appeared to be very simple. Although they've got collectible skill books, how novel. Bethesda have been cunning though there are no yellow ladders, they've used white paint and cloth instead. Going to pass on this one.

[@darkknightme9509]

It makes no sense to have early access when the game is not finished. You would think the industry would learn from Bethesda. Oh, wait...they did.

[@justaquietpeacefuldance]

combat looks insanely boooring!

[@josephscottadams39]

Pre downloading it now for Series X using Game pass. Looking forward to this adventure. Graphics to me are are secondary.

[@Dmatrio]

Raytacing hogs alot of resources, so wtf cares.

Modern triple A games are a joke, they expect you to fork out an extra $35 bucks to beta test their game 3 days early. Now let's compare to a double A game like stalker 2, which is at least feature complete at launch.
