Doom: Dark Ages is expected to be one of the most visually outstanding games released this year, because id Software is built with the latest id Tech 8 engine, which uses cutting-edge technology to build a complex gaming world while maintaining high performance.

Recently, Digital Foundry released an analysis to explore the performance of id Tech 8 in its new work for the first time.Although the media trial version does not use the top technology - path tracing, it uses conventional ray tracing features, such as ray tracing reflection in Doom: Eternal, and global ray tracing in "Raiders of the Lost Ark: Ancient Circle", which is also developed using the idTech 8 engine.

Both of these ray tracing techniques performed very well.For example, the Siege map contains a large number of reflective surfaces, which is somewhat unexpected considering that this game is more inclined toward the natural environment than the previous game in the series.This environmental change also makes the global ray tracing effect more prominent, providing more precise lighting in a vast space that is almost entirely illuminated by natural light sources such as flames and sunlight.In addition, the game's focus on dynamic objects and the removal of baked light enables these dynamic objects to be more seamlessly integrated into the environment, thus bringing a more pleasing visual experience.

In addition to ray tracing features and powerful physics simulations, Doom: Dark Ages also appears to have adopted a virtualized geometry system similar to Unreal 5-engine Nanite technology.Although this is not yet confirmed, the performance of certain visual elements (such as no obvious hierarchy of detail switching) strongly implies the application of the system.

Combined with the virtualized geometry system, the game aims to run at 60 frames per second, while presenting a large number of enemies, ray tracing light and reflections, and physical simulations, which fully demonstrates the amazing potential of the id Tech 8 engine.What remains to be seen is how the engine actually performs on game consoles, but id Software has proven its strong technical strength in the past to provide a stable gaming experience on a variety of different hardware platforms.
