@Logain As always people are starting to cherry pick from posts.

My examples were, purely examples of modern games, I completely and fully understand the fractured team do not have a massive budget. so making something stunning to look at, but taking a super computer to run it is not what the team are ever going to try to achieve, for all thier hard work they are looking for a game with a community structured around gameplay not eye candy, 100% so am I.

@Logain said in Whats in the future graphically.:

Could the graphics be better? Certainly.
Just where are you going to take the resources?

Someone is clearly working on graphics ... so there is the resource, maybe they need to use a little bigger colour pallet, or more imagination when designing terrain, it's just not easy on the eye, I'm not asking for a 4k extravaganza, just a decent amount of variety and texture.

I started this as a general opinion and hoped for maybe some interested feedback, but as usual people read what they want to, and think I'm disrespecting their new toy, well I love Fractured and what I hope it will become, so carry on reading 1 post instead of a full thread and cherry pick away.

@Belligero I'm not expecting photo realistic, it's not that style of game at all.
@Jetah Pathfinder is far prettier than Fractured in it's present state, the terrain is very different as you move through the areas.
I'm not saying people who understand the full concept of the game will be put off by the way it looks, but it may have an impact after release, that may stop people from taking a closer look, after seeing Youtube videos and the like, and it "Looking" boring.

@Jetah I was not intending to compare 3rd person against isometric, these were just up to date examples in a general sense, but if you wish to look at some other isometric examples, I can offer Kingmaker pathfinder, and to be honest Baldurs gate, looks better even with the lack of pixel density.

AS @d3Sync has said my issue is that it looks boring, for me looking at a screen for hours and not feeling engaged is a minus, for this day and age it needs to be better.

Iv'e not said at any point that graphics were a game killer, I fully understand the concept that the guys are going for, and admire their work so far.

I'm just pointing out I feel in 2021 ... and beyond it should not look, for want of a better word "boring", now I don't know anything .. and I mean anything about how graphics are implemented in games, but I was under the impression (happy to be wrong), that graphics in games these days were all built on engines that exist already and adapted to fit .. as I say if I'm wrong then my bad, but if correct then my opinion of the engine or it's adaptation, is not very inspiring.

I will always 100% put Gameplay ahead of graphics on my list of priorities, but in 2021 I think we should have an expectation of quality level graphics wise, I've asked a few Gamer buddies who have never heard of Fractured (not in their genre, to take a look at the game in it's current state, and put a release date on it, from the 5 I asked the closest one got was 2015, that's a long time in gaming and confirms my feeling that, gameplay aside Fractured is setting the bar very low.

@Psymantis Agreed, roll on 2021, I'm ready to move on ...... and it brings the Beta closer

With the incoming new generation of GPU's about to land, I'm wondering if we are expecting a boost in the quality of graphics closer to release ?.

I must say I am very underwhelmed by the current look of the game overall, comparing it to the quality of the newer alternatives that will be fighting for our game time, New World, Ashes of creation, to name 2 are far better eye candy, even the now 10 year old World of Tanks look awesome in comparison.

Fractured just looks dead, the movement of vegetation, interaction with terrain and objects just seem lifeless, nothing I've seen so far is going to push even my current 1070ti.

End of Summer, gaming has always suffered, but yes pretty quiet with not much to discuss since most things were covered after the last test.

Cursed ? It's poor.

Umbrella Academy ? It's pure quality.
