Ray Tracing would be cool! ...wouldn't it?

Honestly seeing the game finally come to pc after having it on an xbox one x I am going to be so pleased with uncapped frames and higher detail options.

but wouldn't ray tracing make it look even better? (from a lighting and environment perspective)

Ray tracing is bassically a glossy filter to every surface, makes the dark bits darker so you can't see and washes the colors by adding even more light to things. Proper shading, lights and shadows can do far more to image quality than simple reflection

Well I understand the difficulty with darkness and reflective areas but much like in disney animated movies if done correctly could make the game look more finer detailed. Spyro doesnt need a whole lot of detail due to its genre but the lighting and crystal reflections would look quite interesting.

Personally, I think Ray Tracing is over rated. It's not that great.

it's having a rough start and Nvidia have marketed it badly, they could have showed off it's true potential in much better ways. Quake 2 RTX is better than BF5, Met:Ex and Shadow of the Tomb Raider in terms of showing how great it can be and what can be done with it.

Yep. Doesn't help that when people (like the ones in this thread) don't try to understand what they're talking about before, y'know, talking about them.
