Someone tried ReShade's faux ray-tracing shader in Shenmue

[Spaghetti]

*called it faux ray-tracing because it's screen space path tracing rather than the real deal

Looks impressive!

The glow from the Tomato Store looks awesome. Some good work there

It really is. Wish it was available for the free ReShade right now to try it out, but you need to be a $20 Patreon subscriber because it's still experimental.

Looks very nice but if you make the picture bigger clicking on it you can see a lot of noise (red points) flying around the groceries shop. I hope they can solve the issue, then it will be perfect.

I tried it with the PPFX shader and the difference is incredible. Unfortunately it destroys my fps and has a lot of noise.

Looks pretty good in still images, but I can see how Ryo is kind of casting a shadow in front of himself across the entire street instead of just behind him, so I imagine it looks a little odd in motion. Still, it's amazing and I consider it a preview of improved techniques that will soon be possible.

Here's what's currently possible with RTGI 0.42 + DH_UberRT 0.13

Awesome! One more time, the original assets proves to be made by expert hands. "Just" a lightning change and it looks newmade. FPGA Dreamcast with raytracing... One day.
