@davillain-: There is a large difference between "it's standard" and "it's available," and taking an offhand comment from a DICE producer means absolutely nothing.
Firstly, this developer does not develop console hardware. Secondly, and most importantly, referring to something as "the standard" means that it is the universally accepted way of doing things and not doing things this way makes you a dinosaur. Despite the fact that this means absolutely nothing coming from a DICE employee, at no point does he even suggest that ray-tracing won't be available on next-gen consoles.
Also, nobody here even understands what ray-tracing is, nor have they played a game using this feature. What was Nvidia's big thing with DX11 graphics cards? That silly dynamic hair-rendering feature that made even the most beastly of cards crumble a game's FPS? Do some research and see how widely used that was....
Also, small aside: I totally pre-ordered one of those RTX cards because ray-tracing sounds fucking awesome. But seriously, this thread is grasping at straws in a weak, uninformed attempt to belittle a generation of hardware that doesn't even exist yet.
