I am not saying it will not improve. But the capability does not mean it will be here and when it will be here. I will base my purchase decision on state of things which will be demonstrated - and for now it was not much really, this kind of rocky landscape will get stale real fast.
Planets grapihics quality leaves a lot to be desired
- Thread starter kiario
- Start date
I think those 2 videos matched really well.
The video of Europa was shown on DBs own YT channel, imo it shows DB being excited about one of the future additions to the game he has been most excited about since the launch of KS campaign.
FD are not like other huge gaming companies that throw parties to show new gameplay. I love seeing WIP videos of ED and I don't want this to ever stop. But if we keep whinning and complaining about the quality of the WIP videos, I fear FD will stop showing them. SO CHILL!
...and say goodbye to common sense.
I'm able to run ED on a crappy 4 year old laptop, something with lesser specs than an xbox. So you also believe the game is dumbed down so I can run it on my laptop?

With this I do agree. If they were to show of graphic qualities, they would of picked a different setup. This vid wasn't posted for that purpose.
This seems an odd statement...
That said have you seen pictures of the moon? realistically done moons and planets without atmosphere aren't going to have all kinds of weird textures and such? mostly uniform colours based on materials in the ground and such? I honestly don't get what you were expecting?
I found this picture made by an artist.. Hmmmm looks very similar to what we've seen in sneak peek.
You can tell who the people that play games on here are, vs the ones that just play ED and are not gamers themselves. Saying the video dosent represent quality, fair enough the fidelity is lower than the game will be but low texture quality is low texture quality it'll look the same, in higher fidelity.
To put this argument to bed; watch videos, on youtube, of the Gamma footage of ED and you can see, it looks better than current day by a country mile, there is no denying that, the cockpit quality, the texture res, many different effects, astroid belt density. If videos on YT can't be used to gauge quality as its lower, please tell me how videos of Gamma look better.

Nice pic
The shadows make a big difference as they add some depth perception that is missing from DBs video.
I hate to bring up Star Citizen but I think it's pertinent to this discussion as far as graphics goes not that I think all games should look a like but you can't deny how good that game looks. If CIG began the process of the environments,LOD of hangars, ships, heck even the lighting ( Watch Dogs downgrade) with the idea that " this game must run on consoles" do you honestly think the game would look the same?
I suggest anyone who doubts this to look at the lastest "The Divison" videos. A lot of down grades there.
And just because you have the ability to turn off certain graphic features on the PC version to allow lower grade PCs to run games is a weak counter to downgrade gate. Honestly.
You have a point. But for the love of whatever that's holy. Just tell us why do you think the current graphics are worse than Gamma videos.
There are complaints on this thread about the graphics a dime a dozen. What we don't have however is the why of it and how it could be fixed.
In it's current state this thread (and many others like this) make me feel like talking to a bunch of impatient kids who lack common sense. If there are problems, there are reasons for them and also there are solutions. This is how adults in the working world think. If everyone just complained and sat down, our civilization would be a whole lot less advanced.

I expect ED to look EXACTLY how it looks now and from what I seen in DBs video. What makes you think I expected more? ED runs on FDs own made engine. And it looks awesome imo.
Is it ok that I have an opinion at all when it come to graphics in ED? Or should it all conform to yours?

That is true. They could work a bit more on the shadows and lighting(and I'm sure they will in the coming months).
Oh, I thought it was just me that thought that! - I thought it looked like the Voxel games!
To be honest, I just put it down to a mixture of lossy video compression and, possibly, it being an alpha as well (although since it's supposed to move to Beta very shortly i'd hope that they'd sort that!).
I don't really care too much, as long as it's awesome to play.

Graphics quality-wise, planetary surface up close is nothing to write home about, that's for sure, but I am not too worried. As usual - gameplay is my primary interest and that's what I am waiting to hear about (in details) before purchasing Horizons. Visuals alone aren't show stopper for me.

No hard edges, bland and uniform.

Many rocks yes, but still bland and only variations of brown. I'ts not an atmosphereless planet by the way.
Intriguing, don't you think?
It a conspiracy!
