“Lots of companies have experimented with Realtime Ray-tracing”

Absolutely! Companies like Nvidia had made good progress and we are all hoping that the tech will be available in one form or the other sooner than later. the more companies doing research, the better I think.

“( but you seem to make it out that it’s a MS thing )”

How you came to that conclusion I have NO idea. I cited MS qoutes for a reason. Me putting the spotlight on their choice of words was for discussion purposes. What I’m saying is, if those quotes were part of a contract, their choice of words would be interpreted as is, not what we want to believe they mean. So either they mean what they said, or poor choice of words. And as we all know, MS PR’s are not good with words.

Anyways, none of us here are engineers nor devs so all we can do is wait & see. But Like I said, I was attempting to put MS on the spot for their choice of words, and was trying to encourage a good convo about it.

Lots of companies have experimented with Realtime Ray-tracing ( but you seem to make it out that it’s a MS thing ) from where I’m sitting. NVIDIA Kepler real-time raytracing demo at GTC 2012 ( remember that one )

Fact is DX12 will not do it, Azure is not finished yet to do it, and cloud ( MIGHT ) be able to do it ( in years to come ) * No time frame added* and nothing confirmed either.

So from where we stand right now Realtime Ray-tracing is not possible on Xbone.

It’s sad really isn’t it that no matter what proof is laid out to explain certain people they ( the certain people ) cannot accept it.

Well the truth is out there for others to benefit from that’s how I look at it☺

You’re a special class of microsoft fanboy, the paranoid schizo misterxmedia cultist.

How does it feel being constantly wrong and delusional all the time?

Wait for the esram dx12 move engine cloud special sauce, Xbox is really more powerful!!1

Wait for titanfall tier 2 price drop China more countries, Xbox will outsell PS4!!1

It’s kind of sad how you keep grasping at delusional straws and failing over and over again.

It seems he does. I had another response that is still pending with more facts. I don’t know what is taking the mods so long to approve it.

He hasn’t provided any facts for his statements whilst I’ve provided quotes from MS and their own blog posts about what it is. He’s detached from reality. He can’t accept it.

“So DX12 will not help do Realtime Raytracing, but the ( Cloud ) might be able too do so in years to come from what I can tell from that tweet.”

Yeah, the person asked whether ray tracing is doable via xbox live cloud in a few years. The answer he got was that MS HAD ALREADY DONE experiments with REAL TIME RAY TRACING. In other words, we’ve actually done it, we’ve already experimented with it and the result was a ton of potential, amazing visuals.

Fast forward to GDC, we learn something new, and that is, there are a few ways MS can do ray tracing. The rep also said that they have projects that can benefit greatly from some of these other ways.

He said “HAVE”, not “had” or “will have”, but “HAVE”.

If I say have something for you, how would you translate that? If said I had somethin etc..or I will have something etc…how would would you translate each claim?

Then he continued “which will benefit from some of these technologies greatly.”

Basically he is telling us that THERE WILL be a benefit. That’s plain english. That means he had seen it applied and saw the results of the application. That’s why he’s so sure about it.

The projects will benefit greatly from some of these technologies.

Some means more than. So they have more than one way in how than can accomplish this.

So again I say, If what MS is saying is true (because we don’t know until we see it) we as gamers are in for a treat!

If it’s true, what I’m hoping is that the tech can be used in the ps4 as well. I mean we’ll see, being that the tech don’t have anything to do with DX12. 🙂

Extreme derp, you’re one creepy dude SMH. You probably kill cats n other small animals in your spare time or something. You’re just plain creepy. How you stalk people online, and how you find pleasure in trying to make people feel uncomfortable is sickening and changing your name don’t hide you. You’re that ugly inside. Leave us gamers alone & go play in quicksand, or a tar pit. There is no value in you. O_O

Same old delusional, constantly wrong misterxcultist doomsday prophecies. Just wait for E3, GDC, and NDAs lifted, you’ll be sorry! Like some bonkers cult suggesting dates of the end of the world. Dates that forever change to keep their followers in check.

PS4 will have better performing games for the entire generation as it has more powerful hardware, you can’t overcome a hardware gap with better drivers/SDKs. Any game running on Xbox One can be run with better framerate/resolution/visual effects on PS4.

They “considered” advanced realtime raytracing in the same way someone would “consider” trying to breathe underwater without scuba gear.

Yes you’re dealing with yet another deranged misterxcultist conspiracy theorist. They’re pretty much confirmed nuts at this point.
