Global Illumination alternatives

+1 - there is no other way. Every new honorable title just have it. GTA 5, The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, The Division. Hardware also getting there. Games just become bigger, more like sandboxes and backing is not the way it should be done with lighting. I’m not saying about effects - volumetric stuff, weather system, physics. Look at the ARK - its so heavy on resources and looking so 2010-ish.
