Redpill me on how they made raytracing work on a PS2
Daniel Morales
Jackson Gray
By sacrificing new borns to bill gates
Ethan Reed
Just meshes under the floor, bro.
Kayden Adams
worth it
Samuel Lewis
It's just screen space reflection or a duplicate beneath the floor.
Joseph Johnson
It's Matrix so raytracing there is not real.
Sebastian Bennett
you make the floor partially trans, then you copy and invert the meshs beneath it
Ryan Robinson
Everytime I play a new vidya that lets me shoot up concrete shit I remember watching this scene for the first time as a kid and I get nostalgic as fuck and I spend several minutes just seeing how much I can shoot up the concrete shit apart.
Dylan Wood
That first level was pretty trippy for me when I was first played it. Some months after I beat the game twice, I was deadset on killing every enemy in that first level to see what would happen. Lo and behold it was a 1v1 match between Neo and Smith. Such an intense battle to the end, and it's capped off by Neo killing Smith like how he did in the 1st movie.

The trans agenda strikes again.

Emotion Engine is more powerful than modern PCs. PS2 was way ahead of its time.
Nicholas Foster
It's just the same room the other way around put underneath. Don't you know how mirrors work?
Joseph Taylor
this was the standard practice of the ps2 day.
Jonathan Powell
the fuck is going on here?
Lucas Lewis
its a glitch in the matrix
Adrian Ortiz
How do you guys know so much about this shit
Kayden Baker
those two pillars are lifted up, look across on the left side.
it does look a bit trippy though.
Brody Nguyen
The scene they copied from GiTS?
Tyler Jackson
Liam Kelly
>when Joe Rogan brings up Covid
John Sullivan
>those two pillars are lifted up
>reflections are lifted
Bravo Wachowski sisters.
Jose Cooper
Holy fuck, the mirror world's real?
Tyler Peterson
tapping into the akashic records my dude
Jackson Lopez
are those pillars destructible? I assume they were there in the beginning and the reflection is static
Camden White
yes, we know Matrix copied from GitS retard. you're 23 years late.
Ian Scott
It's just stuff you learn as you go
You're one of us now
Carson Smith
>Morpheus AI-mode was fucking Smith of all people
>the actual Smith didnt even remember he was Smith until Neo starts digging deeper on why was he remembering things that supposedly didnt happen
fucking Matrix 4
Hudson Reed
Then why are you nostalgic about Matrix and not GiTS, zoomie?
Ethan Rivera
>Matrix 1
>zoomers
fucking lol
Jayden Perez
the reflection isn't static, as said it's either a screen space reflection, or more likely for this game I believe everything is flipped upside down under the level. so if those pillars are destroyed, the flipped ones are too.
Cooper Myers
We had a hardaare ray tracing demo for PS2 in early 2000, can't find it anymore. It was impressive
Ian Campbell
its bad on purpose, its meta
Charles Reyes
I'm not the one that was being nostalgic, but because the Matrix did that scene better and was more popular.
also anyone who grew up with Matrix is in their late 20's, they aren't a zoomer.
Daniel Murphy
They must be destroyed
Kayden Reyes
>modern pc emulating the shitty ps2
Dylan Thomas
I didnt even care it was bad, I just wanted to laugh at all the 4th wall breaking moments and the movie is full of those
AH HE SAID IT HE SAID IT
Camden Bennett
Millennials grew with GiTS, so yes, only your filth will be nostalgic about the copy.
>I'm not the one that was being nostalgic
So you're apologizing for a zoomer? That's even worse.
>anyone who grew up with Matrix is in their late 20's, they aren't a zoomer
See above.
Bentley Garcia
>so if those pillars are destroyed, the flipped ones are too.
but they clearly arent
Anthony Cruz
Came to post this. There are litterally duplicate upside down models of lower resolution under a semi transparent floor. Much easier and looked good enough where in 2022 you thought it was raytracing. RTX is a scam
Justin Richardson
I grew with both
stop listening to the walls
Julian Russell
you are retarded
Jordan Parker
kek
Grayson Richardson
you don't see this method as much anymore because environments are usually way, way more highly detailed. sucks cuz I think a lot of those games have aged nicer even if the models have less polygons and shit.
Gavin Perez
>Your brain on -oomer memes
Anthony Richardson
how can ps2 do rtx 3090ti?
Jace Kelly
duke has "mirrors" but its just a mirror flipped room with another sprite of you that mirrors your movements. shame that we don't see a lot of neat tricks like this these days since devs can just use technology to get some shitty ugly ass reflections.
Connor Hall
It's incredibly taxing. A modern console can barely hit 30fps in most titles, a mirror like this would cause single digit framerates.
Jeremiah Hughes
modern console games tun at 60-120fps, you're out of touch user.
Brody Harris
BAHAHAH, no, they do not. Even an RTX 3090 can't run modern games at 60fps at 4k, a console would be brought to its knees.
Jason Price
You're really just stupid and stuck in the 7th gen. Honestly you're so out of touch it's embarrassing.
Xavier Brown
then you have a 50% of the floor killing itself, it was a risky but effective method.
