As the Switch 2 is meant to be a platform that will last them the next 5-7 years, I think they should add in Ray Tracing for compatibility with third party games. Like Metro enhanced edition for example won't work on platforms that doesn't have some form of Ray Tracing. Yea while on the face of it, they may want to sound like the good guys, in reality, they probably want a huge sum of cash. Assuming Nvidia doesn't cave in to their demands by this Friday, AMD and Intel should have a pretty good idea as to where Lovelace will land. While neither AMD/Intel should be looking at the actual source code because if they implement them directly into their own code, Nvidia will sue them to bits... I am sure they are looking at all these specifics and theorizing how Lovelace will perform and how to combat them. |
It's just that I think that Nintendo is already pushing with what they have on the Switch. If they decide to go full on with RT, then it just means Switch 2 will sound powerful on paper, but produce 30fps based games at 720p again, or worse and possibly blurry. I know we have DLSS 2.1, but it'd also have to mean that Nintendo would have to push for it as well on their system, in order to make use of this RT.
I also think that if they're going to get into RT, they should either go all in for it or not at all. Cyberpunk on current gen only going for shadows is like the half arsed attempt I don't want to see Ninty doing if it decides to go in for RT. I'm a go big or go home kinda guy when I see already rich companies. If it was a tiny mom & pop company, then yeah I can imagine cutting things at the halfway point, but this is Nintendo, they can afford to go big if they wanted to, and I do want to see them go big, instead of cutting corners to make bank on their system (like they've been doing since GC).
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
