Visuals are bad too

[Chaosdiver]

Everything this game has been panned for I expected since I researched and watched all the information, videos and noticed these problems long ago but I still figured I'd enjoy it.

Now everyone has praised the graphics as one of the few good things. So I was completely caught off guard launching the game in 4k max settings and I see this.

WTF!?

[Lyra Jones]

saw the same thing with settings at max no fps lock and it never dipped or stuttered so just not strong graphics

Thats literally how fur looks in unreal...

people just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to ♥♥♥♥♥

turn sharpening off, turn antialiasing down to medium. but not much you can do about hair and fur in unreal engine beyond that.

[Chaosdiver]

I'm not just talking about the terrible blur on the fur alone. The water texture is ass. It doesn't even look like water to me. It looks like floating goop. There are tons of terrible textures in this game that I saw in my hour of play. I'll take more tomorrow when I have time. But seriously they tried hiding from far away how bad the textures are but it's so jarring when you get close.

There are plenty of ways to make realistic hair without using this dumb shortcut of stacking shells of the same transparent texture to look like like hairs.
Also the rocks, ground, and leaves, all appear to have differing texel densities. A pretty basic continuity issue that even an amateur dev should know to avoid.

Its not only fur all effects have pixilation to them even on max setting, thats sucks :(

Fur, smog, foliage,... many things have bad effects / pixelisation (even for UE4)

wow that transparency dithering is obnoxious

I’m playing with everything maxed in the setting. Playing on a recently calibrated 3440x1440 at 105FOV. I think the game looks beautiful.

I know visuals are a personal preference but for a game made by an indie developer, they did a wonderful job I think!

[esturias]

To be fair, that looks like a good mix of engine quirks and graphical bugs. So they might be able to fix that.
The overall visual quality is still something I'd really stress positively in this game.

The fur is kinda off but everything else looks good.

c'mon obviously is not intended to look like that... is just bug or glitch, let them know and it will be fixed

Uh i think it IS goo. narrator frequently refers to it as goo, the vehicle is called the googlide, and im pretty sure he says that the water was "goo-ified" or something

Looks like oversharpening and some of the graphically anomalies that pop up from time to time using things like DSR and upscale/sharpen filters combined with TAA.

Yeah.
