He then follows up by saying ms doesn't have much ready for launch.

It is a bit weird after all that talk about RT and RDNA2 there will be no actual game releases to show for it.

Hope it gets patched in later.

Update:

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Power your dreams

 

[CrysisFreak]

Jesus that is not good at all!

 

[Mussah92]

DMC5?

 

[SCB3]

Still a month to go, it may just not be fully enabled

 

[Ma-Yuan]

How can you fuck up to have no first party launch games and then the biggest new gimmick isn't working. I have no clue how they could manage this...

 

[Thugnificient]

Demon’s Souls and Godfall are confirmed PS5 launched games with RT, correct?

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

DMC5?

Not at launch.

 

[Agnostic2020]

Demon’s Souls and Godfall are confirmed PS5 launched games with RT, correct?

Spiderman as well . Also call of duty cold war

 

[slade]

That Bethesda purchase is looking more and more like a huge bandaid on a very troubled launch. Funny thing is it will only staunch the blood loss two years in. MS has squandered yet another gen.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Demon’s Souls and Godfall are confirmed PS5 launched games with RT, correct?

And Miles Morales.

 

[azertydu91]

Demon’s Souls and Godfall are confirmed PS5 launched games with RT, correct?

And Spiderman MM too, I have no idea about destruction All Stars.

 

[Yoboman]

Does this mean Xbox SX isn't RDNA2?

 

[Mussah92]

The game or the feature?

Not at launch.

 

[Jigsaah]

oooooooooooooo Microsoft. You in troubllllllllllllle.

 

[Agnostic2020]

Does this mean Xbox SX isn't RDNA2?

Just imagine the fud if this was ps5 having the issue.

 

[MrS]

Kind of understandable given the lack of true next gen games on XSX on launch day. Games with RT will come, it's just going to take a bit of time. We're at the beginning of the race. No need to worry or be overly concerned just yet.

 

[diffusionx]

but I can play shitty Fallout 4 at 60fps

 

[reinking]

Weird we are getting reports that BC isn't fully implemented yet and now this. MS has a bit of patching to do over the next 4 weeks. This has been what they have been selling is on since the Craig reveal.

Doesn't Watch Dogs Legion have raytraced reflections or is that a PC exclusive feature. This article is reporting that ubisoft confirmed raytracing for the Series X. Last time i checked Watch Dogs is a launch title.

 

[SlimySnake]

Look it's disappointing and I feel bad for Xbox Owners, and I am pretty sure MS will get this all sorted out and Xbox will have the best versions of games for the rest of the generation, but this is karma at its finest.

After all the nonsense about the PS5 having software RT than shadows only RT being spread by xbox fans, this should be a cautionary tale to every wanna be fanboy on this forum... Sony, Nintendo, PC, that Stadia fanboy Voost Kain..... Dont be that guy because Life is a motherfucker.

 

[prinz_valium]

So Series X is really full RDNA2 and Ps5 just RDNA1 with RT hence they're ahead with implementation

 

[The Fartist]

 

[Kdad]

Can't you stream youtube videos of ray traced games on the XSX.

 

[Jigsaah]

I'm not even sure how many games are expected to have it period? Like...is there any multiplat games where it will have raytracing on PS5 but not XSX? For example...Cyberpunk?

I guess my point is it would seem that since the Xbox SX isn't coming out with any 1st party games at launch and Sony is...wouldn't this sort of explain things to some extent?

The games I know of with Raytracing on PS5, is Demon's Souls (I consider Blue Point 2nd party), Spiderman and MM and Ratchet n Clank (?) right? Obviously none of those are on XSX...so what I'm saying is that this may be more of an issue with 3rd party devs than with Microsoft Devs. Microsoft Devs have another entire issue going on where they simply don't have games ready yet.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

The game or the feature?

Raytracing is not available day on on the Series X.

 

[CobraAB]

That 12 TFlops baby!!!!!!

 

[Raekwon26]

Well, why not?

Legit asking here.

(Don't even think RT is that big of a deal)

 

[truth411]

Not a good look at all.
Xbox Fanboys have been hollering to the Mountain Tops, 12 Tflops and Ray Tracing, yet there wont be anything to show for it when the system releases. You can't make this stuff up lol.

 

[martino]

this is why alex will love ps5 and some people will stfu
edit

Spoiler

/s just in case

 

[SilentUser]

There is no way around it: pretty bad, just like all these previous years from Microsoft. All these studios purchased will only bring results few years down the road. MS is so far behind and that's not even counting how they are going to release TWO consoles without first party exclusives.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Now all of these people suddenly care about raytracing when weeks ago they said it was pointless and stupid, lmao.

Shame that they're behind, but I wouldn't be surprised with all the covid stuff this year. But hey, at least it's still coming. A console launch is a big deal, it's impressive both Sony and Microsoft were able to still move forward on it with everything.

 

[Agnostic2020]

So Series X is really full RDNA2 and Ps5 just RDNA1 with RT hence they're ahead with implementation

Am I missing the sarcasm ?

When the XSX was first unveiled, when DF first wrote about it, they spent a lot of time talking about RT (muh 25 teraflops if you recall).

But since Craig Infinite we've seen nothing about new games, everything about BC, and now no RT on launch? Again I remain really flummoxed by what MS is doing here and why anyone is buying this thing right now. Say what you will about Sony, and I've made fun of the ugly and huge PS5 many times... they're delivering new games that use new features on the console.

 

[_Justinian_]

"Next Gen"

This is so pathetic, that I can't even laugh at console gamers anymore. Why even buy a new console at this point?

 

[Thugnificient]

Spiderman as well . Also call of duty cold war

Not a good look releasing your most powerful console without the hottest graphical feature on the block.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Why on earth would this be omitted?

 

[Papacheeks]

Demon’s Souls and Godfall are confirmed PS5 launched games with RT, correct?

And Miles Morales.

Yea dmc5 , watch dog legion and call of duty cold War are confirmed to have it at launch on ps5 for multiplatform games

 

[GreyHand23]

Now it makes sense why Halo Infinite was going to have raytracing added later in a patch. It really looks like the software and hardware aren't quite ready for XSX. That's given the developers much less time to actually get ray tracing into those versions at launch. Might be why there is a commitment for some games to have raytracing added in a patch in early December.

 

[EviLore]

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Spiderman as well . Also call of duty cold war

Xbox doesn't have raytracing for COD? Lol really?

 

[SlimySnake]

Yeah, I do recall the 25 tflops figure and to be fair, they did have path traced Minecraft running on the xsx back in March.

I think whats happened here is the same thing that happened last gen. CBOAT famously called all the issues Xbox one was having and we saw a bunch of 720p games at launch. it took them almost a year to get those issues sorted out and AC unity had parity with the ps4 and ran at 900p like the rest of the gen. I suspect the way MS builds their tools is flawed. BF4, CoD, Watch Dogs and Titanfall were all 720p iirc.

 

[TearInto5th]

I've said this the entire time, that MS just hasn't been prepared for this generation at all. Did they just leave it too late? Or is their management at xbox as bad as their studios?

 

[Papacheeks]

Sounds like Rumors were true then, and one of the reasons on top of bad management halo had issues build wise.

Sounds like they were juggling Direct X 12 ultimate development along with implementing it into the console.

All of sony's first party was showing some form of ray tracing. Shows how far along they were tools wise.

 

[Agnostic2020]

Xbox doesn't have raytracing for COD? Lol really?

Apparently not at launch and in their press release they just mention ps5. That could he due to marketing deals though

 

[Exanthus]

Yikes, what about Watch Dogs Legion? I thought that was going to have ray tracing?

 

[anaphase]

Ohh this is bad. The good will they've built up can probably float them for a while, while they get this shit sorted.

Not a good look at all.

Edit: no concern trolling here. I have 2 on preorder. I know it'll come but to not launch with it after all the RT boasting... C'mon

 

[Reindeer]

So everything people were making fun of for PS5 is becoming a reality for Series X? Damn, Xbox can't catch a break.
