Grass

[Matsume]

Meh. I saw a "battle against grass" contest arranged based on the grass in one game. This is not that serious.

I have to fight through grass every day of my damn life.

Dude just calm down guys. The game isn't out yet, and if you're going to not play because they grass doesn't look as good as you want, that is fine. It is still a modern game and it has high-quality textures and details built in. I'm sure the appearance of grass will fit the rest of the scenery and there will be detail options in the graphics settings that you can set to better looking or more horrid-looking grass depending on your device.

EDIT: The arguments that "this game doesn't look like that game" shouldn't be valid, because each game as their own pros and cons when it comes to graphics.

NDA \o/ but I made this thread in preparation that beta has no change, if you stay up to date on all things SE - the grass hasnt made some magical change from last gen to this gen (even some of last gen looks better).

And I dont think you get what I was exampling in those photos if you think I want ARR's graphics to look like them. I dont want them to look like that other game - since that game is a sandbox game (you can build wherever) the environments are quite flat.

I was showing the grass/fauna only - the technology or w.e you want to say, the strands are smooth and have a response to light to better blend, they actually have a short grass that is in large cohesive mass rather then singular dotted units (like ARR's)

Also ARR isnt high res, at all. They use tricks to make everything look great (except the grass) while using low resolutions. If you look at anything up close you can "see" the pixels. While the strategy is pretty cool for weak computers its not something I particularly care for, I'd rather have the detail. Of course how they design those textures they may not exist. However getting 4 models of grass right and changing their color up, I feel like I'm on the better path of compromise here.

Edit: my bad you said high quality, not high resolution - their textures are pretty cool for the resolution, but their resolution is pretty low. (also I never said I was going to quit or w.e - so no need to "calm" down)

Thank you lol, you dont need to say its your issue - but all the derisive, malcontent, mockery on this forum is just sad.

Like people who want better animations or not for their characters - not everyone cares but its obvious we dont have that good of animations anymore. Although we also learned that animation blending and some pieces are missing so we can look forward to a change in beta, that may fix all the problems people were having.
