Thats how you develop a game: Start with the clouds and then work your way down to the foundation. Can't wait what the next 10 years of development will bring.
i always keep my clouds on photo mode because my pc is so CPU bottlenecked that changing graphics setting from min to max only has a 10 fps difference at worst.
I always thought Star Citizen was CPU limited, but I got an I7-14700k with my 2070S and I just realized today that it’s disbalanced enough that I’m GPU limited even with all settings to low, so I can’t wait to get a 5000 series GPU to finally be able to experience clouds!
The verticality of the clouds convinces me that they need to ~double planet sizes so they can stretch the verticality of mountains up like 4-8x what they currently are. We need *real mountains* alongside those clouds. Give me a Vancouver-level mountains-on-the-ocean view in Star Citizen.
@@N1ghtR1der666 I'm not into game dev, but can you really make a Z axis check with round planets into a universe ? I wonder how is player Z-axis position calculated in such an environment, what is the origin point... But I agree with you that just by knowing the "inner" radius of a planet, I think they could add it relatively quickly
@@N1ghtR1der666 the server failed to check collision that's why he fell because the servers are borked. If they are borked they can't even run this system you want to implement.
They need to increase the size of the planets. With the volumetric clouds it looks odd. Don't get me wrong, I like how it looks overall, but for a weird reason it doesn't feel natural. Maybe because the distance from cloud to land and space are way too close.
That music cue getting out of the ship @ 5:11 and the way the music continued to build as you took your initial look around, made a rather normal moment seem epic. Given the scale of the game hopefully it gets filled with small moments like this.
I never knew why this game felt so "small" in scale even tho this game is huge. Especially being on planets. Now i know why. Clouds are so important for scale. This looks amazing.
I bedlogged whilst landed on Hurston yesterday and when I logged back in my ship was upside down at the same location. Getting out of bed and into the seat was 'interesting'.
Thanks for your videos Olli! You always manage to make me smile, and are probably the star citizen content creator i enjoy watching the most :) Its just nice having people enjoy what they're doing and find fun even in this slightly broken game lmao
As amazing as they look, the increased verticality of clouds really highlights just how overly small planets are. From orbital height, the clouds simply look too big in relation to the planet and atmosphere, giving away that the planet as a whole is actually the size of a small moon. It just doesn't look right for clouds to extend almost into space, and yet decreasing their height would make the clouds feel too in relation to the ground and ships. The only real solution is increasing the size of the planet. What I don't really understand is why this is an issue to begin with. Planets are procedural, so would it really add much extra work just to scale the planets up to a more realistic size?
Elite dangerous player here. Iv been contemplating buying this game for a few weeks now since recently upgrading my pc. I can run Elite at over 200 fps so hopefully I can run SC at least at 60 lol Edit: after watching the whole video and seeing the amount of glitches you experienced in a single play session I think I’ll stick with Elite lol😅
What is the point of everything looking pretty and them spending all of this time on this stuff when its pretty much unplayable though. Seems like theyre making tech demos instead of the actual game.
I feel like some of the clouds make it a hint too dark in the current implementation for the time of day that it is but it does look cool to see the spots of light come through on the hills. I like that not all the planets in Pyro are as flat as a lot of Stanton.
they're really high fidelity but they look weirdly dense and... dirty? i feel like the light from the sun (for both stanton and pyro) doesn't penetrate far enough into them
Great looking sceanery and Pyro looks amazing. The increased FOV really ruins it for me though. The fish eye and limb distortion just completely destroys the video quality and is actually nauseating to watch. People get used to it in FPS games where it gives an advantage and don't see it anymore. When you are trying to make something cinematic or that has visual appeal, spaghetti arms and fish eye is not the go to look. Anyway, just some constructive criticism. Thanks for the video and the great work!
Part of it is playing SC on an ultra wide where comparatively drastic adjustments to the FOV are necessary to not feel bottled in by the aspect ratio. I have to do the same thing, it's not even necessarily a preference thing at this point.
@@Mr_Jish Oh, I know. I play on an ultrawide. It isn't about what a person feels when they play, it is about producing content. If a person wants their content to be appealing to the broadest range of people possible, they need to conform to the standards set to that content. If people went to a movie or tuned into a TV show that looked like that, they would immediately find something else to watch. 60 FPS is barely acceptable for most gamers but completely unacceptable for most media like movies due to the "soap opera effect" it causes. This is the same thing. I play with increased FOV but find that it nauseates me and turns me off the content when watching it for pleasure. Especially when not on widescreen. You can look to creators like Morphologist who present ultrawide videos but maintain a very cinematic experience as examples of what I am talking about.
@@Mr_Jish The other part of this is that I often watch these videos to get an idea of what the default view is like on ships and which MFDs are viewable. Having an increased FOV distorts that idea and leads to false expectations. I kind of feel it is painting a false expectation about what piloting these ships really feels like. That is completely subjective and I know it is kind of a me thing but it plays into who I and my friends watch and subscribe to so is still valuable information.
Some people might prefer first-person view, while other might prefer 3rd-person view. One thing is for certain though: the only thing worse than either of those is constantly flicking back and forth between the two.

The volumetric clouds don't work for me. They reveal true scale, making the planets appear so much smaller. The old layered clouds looked better except for that very brief moment when you flew through them AND looked at the layer at the same time. Now you can fly through volumetric clouds, and they look good in the immediate vicinity, but they look wrong in the distance and their scale height is ridiculously high.
Sorry, but the level of detail for the clouds when high in the altitude looks bad. It looks like a bunch of cotton balls stacked on one another. When you get down into them it looks much better.

Been flying for over 30 years as a pilot, motly in jets, and the cloud tech is looking almost spot on.
Yet they don't look like the real ones.

my pc is cpu bottlenecked and photo mode halves my fps. goes from 50 to 25

I wish i had 10 fps...
10 fps difference is massive...

There's AT LEAST one place in 4.0 where some mountains peak above the clouds, but I definitely wouldn't be mad at 1:4 scale planets.
yeah double is a good starting point without loosing too much ground resolution
they should really implement a system to teleport the player back up after detecting that the player fell through the map
the infuriating thing is that this is a one hour job, any dev could whip up a quick rayast or Z height check, but they for some reason choose not to

You will spawn back at your last LZ.
9:40 “there’s just so much to explore” proceeds to be brutally reminded of how this game is never getting released

"Jack has no idea" Jack can't see you through the mail slot in the Starlancer. Love that thing. 😂
Let's go !!! From cinematic view to fully bugged truth 😂
Man the game really needs floor Tier 1, maybe it's satire on the possibility that a lot of backers will be 6ft deep when the game comes out

Awesome photo realistic quantum travel screen saver.
I'm glad your being honest and showing the true state of the game. Hope it gets better soon.
You found the Star Destroyer plans!! Nice!!
Star Citizen sure is an impressive looking (albeit buggy and glitchy as hell) interactive tech demo. Maybe some day it'll be something more even.
That ending is straight out of Skyrim physics 🤣

Those bug sections were hilarious, I would watch an entire video just filled with that 🤣
We are working on open world functionality our game Cosmic Force, great work to the Star Citizen team, looking very very good...
Star Citizen: you still fall through floors.

It's 1 tier below ultra-realistic. They haven't integrated the graphic quality from Squadron 42, which contain graphic quality equal to real life.

i think moisture accumulation on the windshield when flying through the clouds would be super cool. even if its just an overlay
This game looks amazing. Can I play it.
....... it's complicated.
i got the star citizen commercial before this vid funny how they put a completely unusable broken ship as the main thing in it :D
Way too much like cotton balls. The layers are very cool, as is the holes.
Scooping up the animals was great.
my 4090 will scream and burn. But its worth it.
mine is quiet at stock, still game sometimes is chugging
I'll be doing it on my 2080 😂
my 7900 xtx runs well above 30fps on photo mode, it ain't that bad.

My 4060ti actually does pretty good
Correct. That is all SC PU is good for atm... if you can get out of your hangar...
I have to admit this game is one of the most beautiful NFTs out there.............
You're thinking of Star Atlas. This is Star Citizen.
SC - the best damn screenshot generator ever (TM). Looking forward to when there is a game there though.
anyone remember his planet coaster videos? absolute blast from the past..
I think you landed at the same location they show in the StarEngine trailer from last year. Nice little coincidence.
Serious Razor Crest vibes with that cutlass.
nice cinematic Places without any Content ^^
Even your grandkids ain't gonna be playing this game finished. 🤣
Loved the end scene, great stuff!
Per usual looks good. And that’s about it….
I am glad we will enjoy this on our 64k screens soon! :)
this makes no sense... its a 1440p video you can watch it on any screen you want?
Let's be honest - Star Citizen is a cinema simulator with a game attached
The clouds look great. The shadows on the mountains look weird.

Wow seeing the depth and details is insane... I wonder if they are going to add turbulence for more dense clouds that you fly through
756 . MILLION . DOLLARS
Half of it was put in the clouds...
Looks really stunning! But what can you do in the game for the sake of gaming?
I’m looking forward to 1.0 when StarCitizen should finally be a “game”.
You flying towards those clouds reminded me of the episode from the Mandalorian because your ship looks like the razor crest
Fun fact the guy who designed the razor crest designed this ship first
Playing this in V.R would be incredible.
Great showcase. Doesn't seem to slow you down too much.

When 4.0 released, the first thing I'm gonna do is flying between cloud layers.
At the start of this video I was thinking of getting this game but by the end of this video I changed my mind.
Thats some Ridley Scott level Prometheus/Covenant visuals.
This game is way ahead of it’s time limited by technology we have at this time
As photo realistic as some elements are, that warp speed visual needs work
Photo mode is nice, but did they put gameplay in yet
Those clouds look like fungal spores
Wish the windshield would get wet from the clouds then dry up after a few seconds outside the clouds depending on the speed of the ship
If there's any kind of justice in this world give us a wing suit or parachute to jump from those massive new cliffs on Pyro
Those clouds man... it must be quiet an experience to be playin alone a come a cross a planet that has a lot of clouds. peak gaming with a 10year game
Will this work with a 4060?
Hey man, what's your setup nowadays and around how many fps you got there? Your video are always beautiful and smooth
