Yes we are not only suggesting. It was announced that it will happen and this threads points out where this approach fails and where it works.
New Planet Tech is KILLER of Exploration (all terrain is tiling/repeating/not procedural/random)

Eh, generally the 10-15% FPS boost you get from switching to a dedicated RT model is enough of an improvement to make it worth it even as the AMD cards lag behind the Nvidia ones by around the same amount. With Metro Exodus enhanced, the 6800 handles 60 at 1440p just fine, with the big gap with the 2080 being in certain scenes where it drops up to 50% from the usual 15-20% it normally lags behind. Sure those settings suck if you have a 120hz 4k monitor, but it's not really a big deal, hell, I still use 1080 monitors rendering at 4k for the supersampling. Of course CPU is always the bottleneck for RT, given how much it offloads there from the GPU, so make sure you have a good amount of threads available for those games too.Not want to derail the thread further with graphics card discussions but have fun running Metro Exodus Enhanced with anything near a RTX 2080 performance on a 6000- series GPU. They can technically do it, but meh, still a generation behind. RT in mainstream with comparable performance is still a GPU generation off on both sides of the trench
Yeah, precisely. I's basically a design decision to move to a more simplified system of planet generation which delivers better on foot appearances of planets in individual locations, at the cost of less diversity between those locations, and between planetary appearances from space.
Concept art... is concept artI just remembered this was one of the images promoting the new planetary tech. Even if it's not a real screenshot, it promotes things that are not even in the game at all. Proper surface textures, different surface features and objects, huge crevices, etc. Just look at it. (Not to mention the lighting - there IS light in this image.) What happened to this concept? Why isn't it even remotely realized?
I imagine the concept art was an idea of what this generation model using prefabs could potentially look like. Then they realised what an undertaking it would actually be in real life to get it this complex and diverse.
The point is, they cannot accept reality.
This is the new planetary tech, meybe the ajust some planet for make people like you happy but this is it, deal with it.
No, we can't accept that the planetary tech currently is buggy, produces very ugly planets and inflatable mountains. But do go on with your own narrative, it sounds like a very interesting novel.
I noticed having two shadows the other day. Not sure they were from stars, but it was a neat surprise.
Yeah we were doing wingfights in the rings of a red dwarf star and the ring was pitch black because the primary star in that system was a white dwarf tens of thousands of lightseconds away
Your grasp of the posts here is a bit underwhelming.lol
i cant beleave this people
Yes, there are more suns visible in the sky, but only one emits real lights which create shadows.
OMG! Thanks for getting me up to speed. This appears to be a rather questionable move by FD then given what it mean to explorers.
If done right it can result in a lot of awesome planets dar superior to the old ones.
But in it's execution right now it's a bit underwhelming at places. There are not enough prefabs atm or the selection system is buggy.
Still they did. On stations and from local lights I see multiply shadows. Doing sources and lights is easy, but casting multiply shadows is what gonna tax your system hard.
Local lights != System wide suns emitting light. The first one is a cover masquerading for missing the second one.
How do you think they did their landscapes in Odyssey? By hand, old style? Lol.
Also NMS use same tiling tech as Odyssey, but does it much randmly. When Odyssey simulate laws of our universe.
LOL! I wonder what's happened to
An improved procedural engine, creating more diversity and less repeated tiles could surely also create superior outcomes? All depends on the quality of the rules used?
Not sure I see how that follows?

Lolwhat. Youre totally wrong in these regards. Light in Odyssey is top-notch, rdr2 alike, light in Fallout 4 is very simple, hello to 00s. You can even barely see there any shadow from most objects and light leakage from any wall.
