Gimmie these graphics with amazing physics and gameplay over the polished turds they make today. Thanks.

It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time, it's tricky

You don't want to see another polished turd with ray tracing?

And all the streets look like they’re wet for some reason.

Don't even have a video ard that can do ray tracing. I'm immune to marketing.

I play a Quake 2 mod that converts it to a ww2 game and it's as ugly as you can expect for a game from before the turn of the century. Ray tracing in this game is short of magic. No assets changed, and it makes it look so good, it's unbelievable.

Of course sometimes we also play this game in software mode which doesn't even colored lighting, just pure rendering on the CPU. So grainy...

Was that song in this game too? It's been stuck in my head for decades from SSX Tricky on XBOX.

Oh man that gives me flashbacks. Especially getting ready for winter coming up. Might have to go dust that off and play.
