Are ya gonna pretty it up some? Please???

Dont get me wrong I am loving this game, highly entertaining. Not without it's faults, but it's an absolute blast, I love that I can yack on my corp chat between battles (yes ima internet spaceships game player).

But wow, did I miss the secret hidden shiny graphics option or something? This game is fugly. Seriously fugly. Where's the shiny graphics I see in all the screenshots and promo videos? Sure they glam it up for advertising purposes but is it meant to be this freakin ugly?? They're gonna pretty it up for general release, right??? I mean it's a PS3! I remember when these things came out they were basically supposed to be Gods personal game console, 20 gazillion times more powerful than the xbox 360 could ever be, angels and unicorns and rainbows would appear any time you hit the on button.

So what is up with this insanely ugly washed out 640 by 480 super blocky fuzzy dull grey hideousness?

for number one they are using a diffent engine then the one shown in the trailers for number 2 not much you can do, and number three well it still in beta and the server merge wasnt that long ago so....

CCP in their infinite wisdom decided to open up the beta before polishing up the graphics,
in order to treat this new influx of fresh players to a poor first impressions.


They recently posted somewhere in an interview that we'll get some graphics upgrades with a new build soonish, which would include adding some vegetation to the landscapes. Why they opened up the beta before this build is beyond me.

So you wonderful people answered my question and they ARE going to glam it up. Nice, not only can I continue to love playing Dust, I can look forward to shiny in the future :)

Fanks!

For a very good reason, first you want to test the influx of new players coming in first and stress test the servers and then tweak the servers to hold the amount of players we currently have.

Then you add more to the game with the next update, then again stress test the amount of players on the new build, do so more tweaks and then bring out the next build.

This is pretty common for MMO's and betas with this size of players.

Looks fine on my end-1080p

I did however switch over to 720p while rotating wires, and boy it was bad.

I can switch to 1080? :o

My TV is set for 1080 and my PS3 is set for 1080 I thought but when I go into dust my TV switches to 720.

How do I play in 1080??
