Delay for one year to implement ray tracing?

Of course, does it even need to be asked?

Petition to delay X4 for a year to implement ray tracing.

Post by zurakx »

I know that the announcement trailer is supposed to come out tomorrow but I believe the community at large wants the game to be delayed for a year to implement ray tracing and wait for the next series of nvidia cards which... could lead to maybe another year delay at most. So what do you guys think?

I must have missed the NVIDIA announcement where everyone in the world was getting free 2080ti's, and that rasterised games were now officially illegal, punishable by death.

Do I think ray tracing support for X4 should be looked at? YES. But not now. Maybe a year or two after release, when DLC is all out, and they are doing background work for X5: Walls, as well as the future works of X6: Roof and X7: Furnishings.

Sorry was just messing around. I thought it would be obvious. Since people seem to be getting angry instead this is not serious. Looking forward to release as much as the next person :)

They may not necessarily call it that, but they could very well structure the next games in that way. The furnishings one being more elaborate work on station interiors, maybe more NPC variety.

I don't want to live another day without raytracing!
You can give a man fire and he will be warm for a day, but set him on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.

That's OK, luckily everything else you see in life is reverse ray-traced, which is kind of the same thing.

The OP needs to work on the opaqueness of their sarcasm. Unfortunately the rays are being traced straight through it at the moment :P

I don't even know what ray tracing is. I still agree with you!

I kind of thought the poll would help push people into figuring it out but I suppose i was wrong.

But what you need to think about is this. How much of your life do you want to have lived without raytracing in x4?

I can see the moderators chucking this thread straight into the trash bin. I'd rather see them spend extra time of putting more races/ships/news reports in the game before raytracing.
Just... another... bug.

Hmm, a silly topic accompanied by a poll with no real choices. We all get way too much junk email, I don't think we need junk forum topics, too. CLICK!
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.
