Atomic Hearthe shooter in first person inspired by titles like BioShock and Singularity, it is without a doubt the video game of the moment. However, the launch of the PC version It has been peppered with controversy after users saw that the ray tracing not present. This is even more shocking if we take into account that it was something very advanced on the part of the developers and that it was promoted in collaboration with NVIDIA, which went so far as to publish several demonstrations of the development phases on one of its YouTube channels.
The non-presence of ray tracing in Atomic Heart It is surprising if we see that the developers raised the system requirements shortly before launch, a movement that forced them to qualify a bit to publish more detailed ones and depending on the quality with which they want to play.
Those who have followed the development of Atomic Heart More closely, they probably knew that ray tracing would not be available at the launch of the PC version, since Robert Bagratuni, game director, said just that in an interview for WccFetch and that they are “working closely with NVIDIA to May this happen in the future with one of the game updates.”
In other words, ray tracing will be served in the future via an updateand is that a game last gen like this, it cannot be left without a feature that was consolidated with the NVIDIA Ampere (RTX 30) generation. Despite the fact that the developers warned, more than one has been disappointed by the absence of ray tracing, which is already being criticized by some users.
Beyond the debate around the trajectory of videogames, especially with regard to graphics that have concentrated almost all the evolution of the industry in the last two decades, the problem of Atomic Heart it is rather in the breach of some expectations that were generated during the course of the years, more if we see that the inclusion of ray tracing is announced at least since 2018.
Those who are not willing to play Atomic Heart without ray tracing they will only have to wait for the corresponding update to arrive, a custom that should be more widespread.
