MODERATORS
Some games have a better implementation than others. I kinda disagree that cyberpunk doesn't look a lot better with it on but honestly if you have to swap over to fsr so you can use framegen for path tracing yeah that looks pretty rough even on my 3090
If you want to play a game that imo looks amazing with it and is 100% worth it play Control cranked to the max. Doesn't hurt it's a good game.
Most of the time I'm inclined to agree its overblown though.
Alan Wake 2 is even better looking than Control and had Path Tracing. Same developer. It's actually much better looking.
Unfortunately I avoid epic games mostly because it's just easier to use steam on Linux but I'm super looking forward to control 2, I'm sure it's going to look amazing.
Well it's one of, if not the best looking game I think I have ever played. Also control 2 will probably also be on Epic. I understand the hesitation but you should find a way to make Epic work on Linux, or play it on a windows partition because it's really good and you'll miss out.
It works fine I just need to use another launcher to manage it. If control 2 is epic exclusive then c'est la vie, there's plenty of other games.
Control 2 will not be an epic exclusive. AW2 was published by Epic, hence the exclusivity. Control 2 (and all future remedy games, I believe) will be self published by Remedy. FBC: Firebreak, their next game, and set in the Oldest House from Control, already has a Steam page and will release there day 1.
You rock, thanks for letting me know.
