![]() Reflections, I swear, their screen-spaced technique here feels more like low quality Ray Tracing Rockstar North did one hell of a job on reflection all around, where elements outside of the screen is still being reflected, in real time! Volumetric clouds separating in real time can be seen on glass stores or even the hood of a car, or a small glass bottle. Lighting is a bit more present here given the nature of neon lights – they are everywhere, even on area’s where there was no lighting in the original.
