I works in Spiderman 2 though. The default RT options that is. It managed a locked 30fps on base PS5 and now a locked 60fps on PS5 Pro. Just if you go for fidelity mode on Pro it throws in more hardly noticeable RT improvements which without a VRR display create terrible fps dips while swinging around.
That has also become a problem, relying on VRR. It's great for higher frame rates over 60 fps to maintain perceived stability, but it's a bad crutch for games that can't reach 60 fps. Big swings under 60 fps remain very distracting and don't help image reconstruction techniques.
Horizon looks amazing yet there running around water you notice it's still limited by screen space reflections, at the edges the reflections are missing or look weird. You only see it while running along water, not all that distracting. Certainly not like huge frame drops or upscaling artifacts.
I'm sure RT can put more 'realism' in scenes like this
Flood it with shadows and ray traced lighting. Yet for now it's not worth the performance cost. RT is great when you can switch to it and not have to do all the lighting work, shadow and reflection maps. But now it's just an extra, no time saver, more work. And thus not the priority for optimization.
RT might make this look better too, or worse
Running at a locked 60 FPS makes it look more impressive than adding RT reflections at 30 fps, imo.
It looks great without RT, not missing it.
Just like VR, RT is still in its experimental stage. Too early to switch to, can add depth but mostly adds performance woes.

Yes pretty images of a static environment that doesn't react to players' actions at all and VR has been in the experimental phase for 40 years. Sorry, but $300 tablet with a game with an environment that is dynamic and actually interactive with many moving parts is more impressive than $700 and a static one.

Lol.
A machine can take down trees, you can use geysers water jets to propel up in air with the glider, there is a world underwater, you can dive and even use a flying mount to dive from the sky to underwater and back at your will.
Those machines are insanely well designed and have multiple parts that interact with many kinds of projectiles and element in different ways, you can even tear down armor and parts individually and even some of their weapons to use against themselves. And there are many of those machines, on land, water and sky, that can be fought simultaneously.
You can't interact with the dirty or roll a rock down a cliff, is that it?
It's baffling to say Horizon is less impressive than a game on the Switch, absurd to say the least.
Horizon is a technical marvel.
