Not really, when it came to terrain complexity, no. Sometimes the terrain would go a bit triangular, but you could move a bit to a different location within a few km and it'd be fine againIndeed, Horizons never, ever had any issues with surface generation...

I bet i know how this discussion (again) will end...2 wrongs doesn't make a right.
And they were nowhere near visible or common in horizon than in odyssey.
all that I feel can be fixed and complained about but re rolling because you dont like the out come of how something looks well we all know that wont happenThere is a bit of pop in issue in Horizon, which is what the poster mention, mostly during the glide/approach of the planet when the lod is switched to regular texture. It's fairly minimal, and nowhere as near as Odyssey Lod issue.
I can only speak for my own experience but never like this before Odyssey that I've seen personally. I'm sure there are others with different experience and I respect that. I haven't been everywhere ovbiouslyIndeed, Horizons never, ever had any issues with surface generation...

Reroll need to happen when it's the terrain itself which is borked, not just the texture.all that I feel can be fixed and complained about but re rolling because you dont like the out come of how something looks well we all know that wont happen
I know, it's still very important to me, so I'll keep on anyway. It's just sad that so many people who claim to be "fan of the game" will defend bugs and issues in their supposedly loved game, for some unfathomable reason.I bet i know how this discussion (again) will end...
I didn't mean youI know, it's still very important to me, so I'll keep on anyway. It's just sad that so many people who claim to be "fan of the game" will defend bugs and issues in their supposedly loved game, for some unfathomable reason.
I'm not out exploring BECAUSE of the terrain gen. It hurts to see all those bad planet. For me.
They wanted to implement PBR shaders, which can improve the visual quality of the materials. They just messed up something and basically have a broken shader pipeline in the rendering engine. While they were doing shader improvements, and believe you me PBR shaders are an improvement if used right, they wanted to tweak the height maps as well, but messed up something there as well.I fell like, why didn't fdev just use the surface assets already available? All those non station surface installations were already placed and not needed new planetary pooch screwing
they could have done something that doesn't change all the established planetary surfaces in a 7 year old game.
Perhaps only newly added atmospheric worlds would have been needed to accommodate their lack of ingenuity but NOT at the cost of THE ENTIRE GALAXY.
At least now I have a literal comparable reference when saying something is a galactic f@#$ up
Ah yes but the odyssey terrain is just more realistic you see?! It may look bad to you because its not as fantasy as it used to be in that old Horizons planet tech. This is what mountains really look like.Reroll need to happen when it's the terrain itself which is borked, not just the texture.
Stuff like the "flat" terrain, or the "jagged fake mountain" can't be changed without rerolling.

Basically, I can understand their intentions, it was all about future-proofing the engine. What ended up happing is, that their intentions ended up in an entirely wrong direction, which has been a huge dent on Elite as well as Frontier.
Yeah, a few "better looking than horizon" planet (already debatable) doesn't hide the fact I have to go through dozen of donwgraded planet.I sure as crap ain't buying with what I've seen posted regardless of what looks good. What doesn't looks worse than what does justifies.
I wouldn't be surprised someone uses Ayer's rock to prove you wrong (IE anomaly is the norm). Or some 1960 moon picture, blurrier than a sasquatch picture.Ah yes but the odyssey terrain is just more realistic you see?!

I stopped exploring 2h into the expansion because it was terrible. Eventually, you only have one side that will continue posting. The one that is not bothered by the terrible stuff.400 billion systems I have seen perhaps ten examples to both side the test bed is to small to come to any conclusions yet
We've seen enough to understand the generation differences between models. It's not without the realms of possibility that something might emerge that breaks the EDO model a bit and provides something good, but there were many in Horizons, so the model has clearly been significantly downgraded in terms of this thread's topic.400 billion systems I have seen perhaps ten examples to both side the test bed is to small to come to any conclusions yet

I don't ask to have only "better planet". I'd settle with having planets that are on the same level of quality than Horizon. Really. I guess I'm very demanding.

Also, we are not speaking of the galaxy in its entirety. We are speaking of the planet we visit and how we feel.
