Ray Tracing is still years away, the hardware isn't powerful enough, the lightning is good enough now.
Also games still have low polygons models and low resolution textures, in addition the collision system is very poor even in games like Fifa where the ball can go through the foot of the player.

Ray Tracing is col but I would not get to excited about it yet. best PC GPUs struggle with it. If you use it in consoles focus on one of the things like shadows or lighting or reflections. You can't get all of those working good enough on any console. Even PC's struggle with it.
RT nice feature but too early for excessive excitement.

You said it exactly right bro. nothing to add really.And yet, we've also seen a SVOGI based demo from Crytek that ran 50-60 fps on my GTX 1080 and did lots of reflective surfaces with great accuracy, or at least, enough accuracy to be believable. We've had Unreal since forever that could also do reflections. That's Unreal Engine vanilla. We have endless examples of approximated and 'faked' shadow and volumetric clouds that mimic the real thing even in a 'simple' game like Valheim (chopping trees looks glorious in sunlight).
With a bit of effort, all of these effects are readily available. RT trades creativity and talent for a 'plaster me on there' thing that costs a shit ton of horsepower to eliminate the need for talent.
I'll take talented devs before letting the hardware create something unplayable, in fact, with the focus on graphics before gameplay some triple A stuff has, its quickly becoming the impression to me that shitty content has RTX (bar exceptions, mind), heavily sponsored content has RTX and *might* also be a good game (Control, Metro Exodus), and the rest is entirely forgettable.
Meanwhile, the list of good to great to utterly mind blowing indie games keeps growing, and RT isn't even remotely in the picture there. Console game lists keep growing, and RT isn't even remotely in the picture. A vast number of PC gamers hasn't got access to RT capable hardware. This chicken-egg problem is going to last with no end in sight as of now.

It still is a revolution of gaming and it brings a great FPS drop to the table"RTRT IS THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF GAMING!" while it does not bring a lot to the table ...
Here's a more logical take:"Hey Nvidia, thanks for the usual bags of Gameworks money, so we can parrot your PC exclusive, overly expensive money trap on our least favorite platform. I mean, we are the game company of '30 FPS is the best gamur framerate' and 'We hate PC piracy' and 'We love double DRM'. We also pushed your TAA blurfest earlier, so why not? Please add DLSS 2.0 so we can achieve the 30 FPS now, ok? We'll ensure it stutters anyway everytjme you load a world block".
