Ray Tracing implementation was terrible anyway

[DayofReckoning]

Hopefully they replace it with a proper Ray Tracing update worth a damn. Not holding my breath on it!

The hell you mean "terrible?"
Terrible means being bad. It wasn't bad.. was just very very subtle. It did the most important thing, it replaced the actual terrible screen space reflections which made all the reflect surfaces, including RPD main hall a noisy mess. It was the worst SSR implementation ever. At least ray trace got away with it.

Just because it wasn't ground breaking, it wasn't terrible. Which is the same for all RE games. The ray tracing is very shy, no doubt because those games target 60fps on consoles and don't want to take the performance hit.

The RY was low quality as well. And it still is even in RE4.

And yet it was still better than the utterly shocking SSR implementation they had.

[Terepin]

Yes, but not worth the performance penalty for what it offered.

lol, it only ever was a performance impact on AMD cards

It was made with AMD hardware in mind on consoles... So if anything its more along the consoles themselves or lower end GPU users with RT support.

Considering how absolutely horrible the screen space reflections are?

No, it was worth it.

[sleeper]

indeed, it was worth it.
the screen space reflections are ugly as hell and RT got rid of it. I wouldn't play the game again without raytracing. I hope they revert the changes. And these Games are quite good optimized. Can play the Games maxed out in rock solid 120fps in WQHD WITH Raytracing.

I wonder if Capcom even noticed their "mistake" or did a comment on this anywhere?

Yes, they looked better. But they were still low quality. A better looking sh*t is still sh*t.

Thing is, the SSR are even worse. So, RT was better that those.

You are objectively incorrect.

The RT reflections are consistent. The screen space one are not.

They were worth having enabled.

Resident Evil 3 subway. The posters among other things had reflecting glass on top of posters instead of paper posters.
