I don't even know what this 'raytracing' thing is. But frankly, reading over everything, it seems like it has something to do with lighting and the quality of the games overall graphics.

But obviously I'm not a graphic designer so this raytracing thing may be an entirely new format that does wonders to stuff I was mentioning.
