Truly! Couldn't even shoehorn some RT reflections for your liking

Next up: Ray tracing only in title screen

Horizon is a massively open world game, the draw distances and environments in the trailer were incredible. RT would have been incredibly expensive outside of some real shoddy implementation like WD Legion's.

GT 7 will have checker board RT but that's a strictly track based game. I imagine the next Forza Motorsport will also have RT.

Tbh, a dense urban setting with lots of reflective surfaces like in Spide-man Remastered / Miles Morales or Watch Dogs Legion would be more taxing than one set across the countryside, as you'd need to include more dynamic objects in the BVH. In FH5, the cars themselves and occasional wet tracks, puddles, and river streams are the only major reflective surfaces.

Case in point:

The effective radius of RT could also have been lowered. A 12TF gpu and no headroom for RT. How is Necrokiller ever going to enjoy playing this now

Wattay Racing Game! Didn't like England in the last one, Mexico looks far better for this.

Also, they did mention ray-tracing on cars, right ?

Only the "Forza-Vista" mode has RT.

Forza Vista is basically a real-time photo mode where you can pose your car and driver avatar in scenery locations in the world to take pictures/videos.

The cars use traditional cube maps / SSR.

Huh, phir bhi theek hay I guess.

Series X & PC pe to honi chaye thi RT, tbh!

Even without RT the game looks fantastic. Plus given Microsoft's support for first party games I am positive that the RT mode might come as an update after the release similar to Spiderman's RT Performance update.

Don't Worry, Forza Horizon 5 Will Have An Option For 4K, 60FPS On Xbox Series X and 1080p 60fps for Series S.

Ok, that's good news. Solid confirmation that Performance mode is at least targeting 4K @ 60.

No game changing RT reflections for Necrokiller. No seeing realistic cloud formations and night time fireworks getting reflected on car models. No self reflections on cars either

My god, talk about writing an article just to get some pity clicks .... fuckin gamerant.

Coming soon: Is Horizon FB coming to Xbox because another game with 'Horizon' in its title is as well?

But hey, why not? Sony wants money, and MLB 21 has already shown that there's money to be made by putting first-party games on Xbox
