2.0 Grass: please change!

[Ingolf]

Yeah, that new lighting engine is nothing compared to the TRAVESTY that is the grass texture in these pictures.

I hate this community so much sometimes... :I

The little things matter.

Well based on the screenshots, the grass and tree/plant textures in general look atroucious. The pixelated shadows that they're casting, don't help the situation either. As far as I can remember, Yoshida said the quality would be about 15% better? If that's the case, this is pretty much what we'll get.

That said, it's a whole different deal when you watch it in motion. The tree/plant textures are just as bad in 1.0, but I don't really mind or notice it unless I stop and zoom in on them.

I agree. The lighting system in play could make them look pretty good, but the first SS with the pixelated shadows are pretty... well... horrible.

Everything else looks so good too.

He said what they were showing at E3 was around 15% of final quality I believe.

I think that referred to optimisation, not graphical quality. I remember getting the mixed up as well. I'll try and see if I can find the quote.

I don't see a problem with the grass, by looking at the screenshots I feel like they belong and it's better than what FFXIV has right now.

Which is funny because of how many other little things are being overlooked to complain about this one.

Something like that is just going to be a fact when on the PS3. The hardware is very limited and thye will have to take shortcuts. Now if they have the PC version set to be more scalable like they say they will then they can add more details like that.

Ah, sir but you are confused! The grass in Xenoblade is even easier on the frames AND it looks better!!

You're comparing a single player console game to an MMO. You're an idiot lol.

in player polls graphics was voted as the only redeeming thing about this game, so they downgraded it. duh.

You know for something to downgrade it has to actually, you know... well, downgrade.
