So, after playing Dust for awhile, pretty much everything is just as amazing as I had expected out of the Beta. My only problem so far with anything is as the subject says...what the heck happened to the color? The maps for the most part seem like they used color as the planet's first defense. :P Of course I sort of expected a sort of dark theme out of the game, but there is white light on the planet right? Everything just looks sort of...grey. The result sort of gives the game a very old feel to it. The graphics I would say are actually fairly good, but the colors/lighting, or lack thereof, give it an overall feeling of a game made in 2006. :P
So, bearing in mind that the game is still in Beta, what's going on here? Have the maps just not been totally finished, or is this sort of about what we should expect from all the maps? If they aren't still in progress, anybody else feeling the same way?
Any input is welcome! :) |

Anyway, it is nice to get some change and I presume there is more in the works for future builds :) I really hope they are still working on it. It would be nice if a Dev could swing by and confirm or deny that. :D

I really hope so. :) I have quite a few friends from our eve corp that were, and still are, psyched for Dust, but agree that a bit more color would give the game a nicer overall feel. It's my hopes that, as you said, they will get around to it "SoonGäó"

The graphics aren't actually bad at all...now, you can't really compare UE3 to other, newer engines such as Frostbite or CryEngine that were designed with a specific graphical look and powerful machines in mind (though I REALLY wish Dust could run on UE4 instead of UE3...but oh well :P) but all things considered the graphics are fairly decent, especially considering that they aren't finished yet. |
