The new API's and GPU's could well use some ray tracing in the next generation of Console. Just because its 'weak' by modern standards, doesn't mean it couldn't render modern games at modern resolutions - it could but not at the necessary speed to be 'playable'.

In other words, use it in conjunction with existing tech rather than rely on pure ry tracing alone.īelieve it or not, a PS3 could probably render a frame of God of War at native 4k but it may well take minutes to draw just 1 frame so it will never be 'playable'. Instead of millions of Rays, maybe just a handful comparatively, enough to be able to predict the 'outcome' and fill in any 'blanks' and smooth it all out with more traditional gaming methods of image processing. What we are likely to see is a 'scaled' down version of ray tracing anyway in gaming.

Its things like that that have made Ray tracing far too expensive for gaming and why CGi movies can take weeks just to render 1 frame. With Ray tracing though, that car would need to be rendered so the rays react appropriately, like maybe have a reflection of it in a window you can see. Even if you see a car boot sticking out from behind a wall, the rest of the car that you can't see isn't rendered - at least not fully, to save time until it becomes 'necessary'. One way Devs have enabled games to look so impressive is because the GPU only renders and processes everything in that 'letterbox' window we see as the gamer - not the 'world' we don't see. Ray Tracing has been far too 'expensive' in the past, not only because you are having to calculate 'millions' of rays, how they hit objects in the world you have created, but also what type of surface they hit, how they interact with other rays etc, but also have to consider the objects outside of the 'camera' letterbox view. For a game to run at 30fps, A frame, as well as all the AI, physics calculations etc, has to be rendered in 33ms or less - any longer and you drop frames. However, in gaming, the time is a crucial factor as to whether a game will run or not and how smoothly it will run too. In CGi movies, it doesn't matter if a single frame takes weeks or even months to render, whether it requires the processing of a single or multiple machines. By cost, I am not referring to hardware costs at all but the much more valuable cost of 'time'. In gaming though, the 'cost' has been prohibitive. Thu 30th Aug Ray tracing has been around for years.AMD have their own OpenGL/Vulcan based ray tracing option too caled Radeon Rays 2.0 so its not like AMD are sitting back and allowing nVidia and MS to offer Ray Tracing whilst they don't. ProRender will support real-time ray tracing and will mix that with traditional rasterization for greater speed too. Since its release, there has been a number of technical 'leaps' too (4k, VR, HDR, VRR etc) - more so than the last generation which was relatively AMD has its own Ray Tracing option as well as working with MS to offer DXR (DirectX Raytracing) support too in their GPU's.

Very few consoles generations have lasted more than 5yrs and the PS4 is already nearly 5yrs old now.

Of course it could be a 'Vita 2' or something else entirely - maybe not even Sony at all but its no secret that the PS5 is coming 'soon'. The rumoured 'Google' console is Project Yeti for the more obscure option and its been well publicised that MS's next box is codenamed Project Scarlet so it really narrows down the possibilities that this could be something other than a PS5.

It does make sense that this could be 'PS5' due to the code name.
