A recent update removed the ray tracing functionality from these remakes.

Capcom says that ray tracing features will return to the PC versions of the remakes for both Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. Ray tracing will make a return in a future update after it was accidentally removed in updates released last week for both titles.

Users started to notice that the ray tracing options were removed shortly after the update was pushed to both titles. They also noticed that...

A mode to bring even the top-end RTX 4090 to its knees.

Cyberpunk 2077 was updated today with a new and very, very demanding ray tracing option. Beyond the existing "Psycho" RT mode, players will now see an "Overdrive" mode that goes well above and beyond what you're used to seeing. This is the mode that utilizes path-tracing, which can otherwise be considered to be "full" ray tracing.

While Nvidia says that any GPU with hardware ray tracing...

You'll be lucky to achieve even "cinematic" framerates with this.

CD Projekt Red has been working on an update for Cyberpunk 2077 that will add path tracing capabilities to the game on April 11. Path tracing is essentially "full" ray tracing. Current ray tracing use in most games is a drastically scaled back version of what full ray tracing is capable of.

Path tracing is typically reserved for static renders, or as part of film and TV visual effects...

The latest patch adds in some graphical eye candy for those that can run it.

Ray tracing was said to be coming to Elden Ring prior to the game's release. It may be a year after Elden Ring was released, but the promised ray tracing is now here. The new v1.09 patch for Elden Ring adds in ray tracing options for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC versions of the game. Obviously, there's not going to be any ray tracing features for those playing on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One who downloaded...

Update 1.07 introduces a long-requested fan feature.

The 1.07 update for Elden Ring went live earlier today. With it came a number of changes, the biggest of which is the separation of PvE and PvP damage scaling. This means that for the first time, FromSoftware is separating the PvE and PvP aspects of the game. It is also a feature that Souls fans have been requesting for years now as PvE combat is a very different beast than PvP combat.

There are now separate damage scaling...

It's Portal but now with ray-traced cake.

Nvidia's GTC keynote earlier today contained news about the new (and very expensive) 40-series of RTX cards. In addition, the company also announced Portal with RTX. As you can probably assume from its name, this is an RTX-enhanced version of the classic puzzle game from Valve.

Portal with RTX includes updated visuals along with real-time ray tracing. It seems as though a bulk of the grunt work on Portal with RTX is being handled...

There better be a full chrome mod for Agent 47's head or so help me...

The second major patch to hit Hitman 3 in year 2 arrived for all platforms today. With today's update, fans can expect "a wealth of changes" including new additions and some community-focused bug fixes.

Naturally, the biggest new addition today is the fact that there is now real-time ray tracing support and adaptive supersampling support for those playing on PC. Both PC players and console...

Some things are getting shuffled around as the year goes on.

In November 2021, IO Interactive offered some insight as to what Hitman 3 should expect to see throughout the game's second year of existence. Some new additions in the second year of content included the addition of a new mode, Freelancer, raytracing support on PC, and more.

Today, that roadmap got shuffled around a little bit. First off, the new mode called Freelancer is being pushed out of a spring release...

This news goes alongside word of the game being played by over 5 million people.

Tripwire Interactive has a two-fold announcement for Maneater fans today. First is word that the action-RPG where you play as a shark has hit the 5 million player mark. It's probably important to keep in mind that it's not that they sold 5 million copies of the game, just that 5 million people have played the game. Maneater was, after all, one of the free PlayStation Plus titles for January 2021.

New additions include ray tracing, DLSS, FSR, and more.

In August, an Xbox Series X|S optimization update came out for Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. That update included features like faster loading, chapter select, and several visual improvements.

Today, those improvements and more were released for the PC version of the same game. Today's update on PC includes the addition of real-time ray tracing for reflections and shadows, plus support for Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR...

The eye candy will only be available on PC.

Far Cry 6 will not feature any ray tracing technology on any of the console releases of the game. This confirmation comes from TechRadar, whom had reached out to Ubisoft after a 3D team lead programmer told Wccftech that ray tracing was a PC-only feature. Not only is ray tracing a PC-only feature but AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) is also PC-only.

An Ubisoft representative told TechRadar that "on console, our objective...

Visual improvements, faster loading, and a chapter select.

One of the best games released in 2017, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, has been updated today with a special optimization patch for the Xbox Series X|S. Developer Ninja Theory released an update that improves some of the game's visuals, including the addition of ray tracing.

Today's update bumps the resolution up to 4K with framerates that make use of the system's 120Hz mode. Ray tracing is available on both the...

It's Doom Eternal but more pretty.

The next-gen update for Doom Eternal will be released on June 29 for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This free update will offer improved visuals, better performance, support for ray tracing, and will include a variety of performance modes.

A breakdown of the various graphical modes can be found below. ...

Don't worry, they're probably sold out already anyway.

Nvidia's Computex presentation brought some tasty new, but expected, announcements last night. First up, the technology giant announced two new entries in their GTX 30xx GPU series. These are the RTX 3080 Ti and the RTX 3070 Ti.

The RTX 3080 Ti will "launch" on June 3 for $1,199 (USD). It includes 12GB of GDDR6X memory, a whole 2GB increase over the vanilla GTX 3080 card and half of the GTX 3090. That price...
