Mirrors/reflections

[★ Elastic Fantastic ★]

Kinda disappointed that you need to acticate a mirror first to see yourself. Why wouldnt the future just have plain old reflective glass?

With the game being first person, i thought interiors would have been littered with full length mirrors so we could catch a glimpse of how badass we looked just before we cleared out a building. Or seeing yourself covered in blood afterwards.

Havent had any third person cutscenes yet so the only time i see my character is through a sink or the menu. Meh.

Mirrors and reflections generally are hugely resource-intensive, that would be my guess. This game is power-hungry enough as it is!

Im enjoying this game, despite the crashing and bugs. It’s not groundbreaking, it’s just good, and it will improve I hope.

Back to the mirror - I thought it seemed odd too, we aren’t in the 90s anymore and most games have reflections.

The entire world is lacking reflection in general, water, shiny surfaces and feels like it was one of those decisions where they couldn’t be bothered.

There are tricks to make sure the surfaces aren’t reflecting the “live” world but instead a “static” reflection, that’s better than nothing.
Before anyone starts jumping to their defence there are open world games that came out this year, hell there are games that came out 5 or 10 years ago that have reflections. I’d even lay money that within 6 months someone would have made a mod.

With regards to mirrors I also agree, there are interiors where a mirror would work, it’s down to level design, you obviously don’t want to have the entire world in the background of the mirror but on the other hand I can look out the window and render the city so it’s already there....

RTX is in, swapped my 1080 last night..I know there have been issues reported with settings not making an impact? Wonder if that is impacting on me as graphics in general are very poor even tho I have everything on max

Just changed setting to default and then reset to high etc. Checked my drivers but still looks poor :/ I’m also suffering from a lot of crashing on both 1080ti and 3070. The only thing that changes is my frames.
