Why do you assume other companies are sacrificing anything? It's not a sacrifice to make a smaller sandbox with more interesting things to do over a larger empty sandbox. It's just a design decision. I play other space games with smaller sandboxes then ED yet I've been playing them longer then ED and I'm still not bored of them. I don't see any sacrifice in those games. Gameplay is what keeps me playing certain games not how big the playing area is. It will be interesting to see how things play out when Star Citizen releases. Smaller sandbox to play in at launch but more to do. Again just a design decision. We will have the enjoyment of seeing which plan turns out to be better. I backed both games and hope they push each other so we the customer reap the benefits. The SC 2.0 vids look awesome by the way, and I don't see any complaints about the graphic quality. They are also being streamed on YouTube. Just saying! Cheers!

But the airport is a better comparison with spaceport in this reference.
Both are space games? And it has to be said, SC does have dazzling effects. How is that "bringing down"? I think it's an apt comparison.
texture detail? are you joking? look at it, it's a solid color. there is no texture, its just an shader made to look like ice. seriously, this pic is armature. I've seen better renders done by armature hobbyists.
look at this, it is not one solid color, and its terrain is actually based of a scientific model of the galaxy, its not just random noise.

um no. when do you see any commercial aircraft flying passengers around, and what company owns it? last time i checked, the local government of the system owns these bases, and the bases provide more than just transport.
bases have more in common with a gas station, you go there with a vehicle you pilot yourself, park, refuel, buy some stuff, and leave. sounds like a gas station to me.

This. +rep.
It will take time for FD to develop their procedures to enhance the galaxy to a level most people will be content with.
I'm in.
I think the graphics look fantastic! They're a lot better than this...

I find people complaining about complainers to be even more annoying, especially when they belittle and insult other people and their opinions needlessly. Yeah, there are a fair number of ridiculous complaints around here; many of them aren't even about the game.
I didn't know you could insult opinions. words have feeling? wow, learn something new everyday.
and yes you can have an opinion, doesn't mean your opinion is of any importance. Doesn't make it any less a petty complaint or less whinny.
that actually looks amazing for an Atari.
Thanks for the clarification. I don't know you didn't know that.
You seem to keep referring to other people as being whiny and complaining. Interesting.
It is true, most of these complaints are not even true, much less valid complaints. It must be interesting, I somehow managed to not block everyone participating in this thread.
Also, its Didn't not Don't, past tense.
Can't believe I hadn't seen this before!

Yeah, Europa has an icy landscape and those effects need improvement like sub-surface scattering.
Also, show tire tracks behind SRVs.

Yes, and horses whinny. Typos happen.
looks realistic enough to me from what we know of Europa. And resolution plays a part in the detail you can see as it dictates the amount of pixels on the screen
Nothing like a pre-whine thread to get the juices flowing...
...or even wait until monday.
The thing is, there have been a couple of sneak previews where the quality of graphics were shown of.
If you start a thread like this:

...when a video with the sole purpose of explaining the descending mechanics is shown, and then start complaining about graphics quality, I start to wonder about intentions...
But enough about that
Only two bottles of Absinthe to go and we'll know

Yeah, can hardly wait for Monday.

That was my impression, that it's just a low quality render and that in full HD it'll look perfectly fine with the tiny texture details.
Damn, I wish I'd had that handy when I made my thread earlier.
