    Because you can get actually accurate lighting, shadows and reflections using ray tracing. Not sure why it should make sense only for old games.

    Ray tracing renders things similar to how our eyes perceive light. You can look ups some rasterization vs ray tracing videos to get the gist of it.

      I’ll try and find the post from a couple days ago that had an article about it. I only half read it because I wasn’t overly interested reading about games I don’t for see myself playing/playing again. The article was specifically about this tho and why I even asked.
