Cant call it a knock off in my opinion. They are treated too differently. I think Noir is just a "proof life isnt all about RTX hardware" kind of statement. After all, we made such an outcry of the cost of these cards.
Crytek come out with this telling us, it can be done on your bog standard 1080 card, but expect some sacrifices.

I never said it was a knock off, I said it looks like a knock off when you compare the 2 side by side, The Noir demo looks ok but it does look a bit meh when you see other demos running full on RT.

Very true. The ones I find most fascinating are simple geometry shapes. Look a purely reflective sphere, etc.
Almost mesmerising.

What pleases the eye is completely subjective. I think that's the best RT demo of a game engine I have yet seen. I don't care if it cheats, does smelly farts or balances pineapples on its head.
The nice part of course is that it will do whatever it does on any GPU. And that's awesome. I didn't buy RTX to be part of an exclusive club. If RT is the future it needs to run on anything.
Exclusive techs never work, because then you give devs one choice out of two. And they will abstain and take none every time, unless paid to do so. And AMD and Nvidia don't like paying the maintenance and never have. They do it for a while, then support falls off a cliff.

DXR is an open industry wide standard tho,
Oh and Vulkan too can now allow devs to leverage RT hardware acceleration via a hardware agnostic open standard if a they want something for other platforms/OS'

Well hopefully then that will be the future. For right now? I'll take a Crysis remake that looks great.
For two years I thought I was done with gaming. I pottered around not playing much. Bought loads of games, played for ten minutes then "yawn". Figured it was me.
And then recently I played through HL2, Ep1, Ep2, most of DNF and am now playing through Dead Island with a mate for "Oh god I can't remember how many"-th time.
And I realised that it's not me. It's games. They're pants. For me at least.
I like single player, decently long games. With good ideas and so on. Co op? cherry on top. Anything less I don't like, which is what most games are now. At some point someone figured they didn't need any good ideas, didn't need to add anything new, that multiplayer online was the recipe for a great game. A great experience with your friends? maybe, but not a great game.
Especially when you are a loner like me.
There's a reason why the movie industry is basically remaking everything. It's because people these days have hardly any imagination. However, I do like remade games. Mostly because the only thing that dates in a game is the graphics.
I replayed FO3 last year and I had a bloody ball. I forgot just how incredible it was. Thankfully that was at 4k, with better textures. However, I then moved onto FONV expecting the same and didn't get it. It looked just like the Xbox 360 version and tbh looked awful. And it really hindered it. FO3 was about acceptable, NV wasn't.
When Bethesda teased FO76 I was praying they had remade FO3 with a new graphics engine. Then I remembered they're all about the money these days.
I don't like RE games and never did (they were just too slow for me, kinda like RDR2) but fair play to Capcom for giving people what they want. I know fans of the game have absolutely lost their minds over these remakes.
I'll take a remake of Crysis, that runs better, and looks better on a new engine any day over some crap game like Fortnite or PUBG.
Have you looked into FNV and FO3 on PC? You can get a mod called Tale of Two Wastelands that merges all the assets into one game with some new areas to transition between the two Wastelands, loads of great graphics mods, textures, shaders, ect, even lots of new high quality content like New California.
The Fallout 4:New Vegas project is coming along well too

I have played a heavily modded FO3 in the past. It usually came at a huge penalty though sadly. I've not checked out any mods for it for a couple of years though, as I can't game on a PC for that many hours any more. Well, more don't want to lol.
I played lots of quest mods. Some of them were amazing.
Yeah praying FO4NV happens.

I disagree.
When using this software based RT and you are actually playing the game I doubt you'll notice the difference. You'll notice the big things like light reflecting off the ground, but shells on the floor? It would look just as bad in any other game. Tech demos showing off how they look when nothing is moving being compared to the Noir demo isn't a fair comparison. They will look closer than the tech demos would lead you to believe.
