I Just Spent Hours Watching Old Footage Wishing...

Mashille · August 2015

I Just Spent Hours Watching Old ESO Alpha and Beta footage wishing for the Old Color palette that ESO had. It is so bland and grey and drab and just so... Dull.

I Krave how the landscapes look in the old footage. greens are so much greener and the world looks so muhc more vivid.

plz...

On pc?

Sweetfx.

Mashille · August 2015

Yes but why should we have to use a mod to make the game look like that?

I want to know WHY they changed the graphics to the dull, grey drap colors that we have today. I think it would look so much better with the old colors.

Mitchblue · August 2015

I always thought it was a bit drab myself. We need some color..

Remember starting in Glenumbra during one of the beta's. Looking at the drab foilage & trees, thinking to myself, if this is anything to go by, I am not purchasing the game.

I think it looks more cartoonish and fake in that footage, and more real in the actual gameplay. I don't think the colours in the game currently are dull, grey, or drab at all. Now Skyrim - there was a game that was dull, grey, and drab (not that I didn't like it or anything, but it was far more dull than ESO).

I didnt see anything in that video that looks better? The game looks fantastic and vibrant to me.

One thing that kinda hit me watching it though... What happened to the stocky NPCs? Everyone is thin in ESO. Where are the overweight people? Surely not everyone in Tamriel is in perfect health.

It's crazy to me how many of those locations are actually recognizable from the final game.

Dekkameron · August 2015

Er.. looks the same imo

Gidorick · August 2015

ZOS should sell graphical filters in the crown store for 500 crowns a pop. I would personally like to play a sepia version.

I've always been wondering about that flip the character does at 0:27 when they're jumping into the water.

Psychobunni · August 2015

Colors fine, I'll take that mini map and all those bodies in Cyro at once, in the same area*, with no lag or crashes tho

That video is REALLY old, might it have been using the old modified Hero engine before they switched it to the Havok

Havok is a physics engine.....Not a game engine.... SMH

I know that, but since the early days of the Hero engine stuff they utilised the Havok engine whilst building the in-house thingy-me-gig. I call it the Havok engine as i don't think they have ever named the one they use atm.

That nostalgic soundtrack in the beginning :'(

Dekkameron · August 2015

I must admit looking at the Show your character thread, the textures on characters look pretty dull and i agree they should be able to do better

Mashille · August 2015

I'm not a new player, been playing since closed beta but I heard that they needed to take a bunch of stuff out of the game before release due to issues making them unusable due to thousands of players abd it causing lag.

I would really love to see what some of that stuff was.

I also see a cape... I wish they could find a way to make them work.

And the old classes that were removed for some reason but I don't know why.

Towards the beginning of the video i also noticed how when they r in fungal grotto and the group was jumping into the water some were doing flips........ O.o i WANT that! That must be the future "Parkcore" the devs were talking about....

Mashille · August 2015

I want that too!

I want my character to feel and look like a bagasse.

Hopefully with a cape someday

JD2013 · August 2015

Fun fact:

When first footage and pics was released, there was an outcry and people were saying it looked too cartoony and far removed from what an ES game should look like.

They toned it down, others complain.

You can't please all of the people all of the time.

Mashille · August 2015

@JD2013

Yeah, many TES players may have complained but they also complained about tons of other stuff that makes ESO not a TES game (Personally I think there would be a lot more progress if they didn't care about making it TES so much) So many TES players have said a ton of stuff about how ESO isn't a TES game.

-The apparently 'Ruined' lore
-Not Skyrim enough
-Not Open enough
-Stupid MMO combat

But non of that has changed (Thank goodness, apart from Open world that would be cool) They could at least make it a toggle in the Video game settings. Vivid or Drab.

In the video I posted, In my opinion all the landscapes in the game look much better in the old 'Vivid' colors. Mainly because the Landscapes and areas were actually made in that bright vivid graphics and only after everything was made did they tone everything down.

I would love to see a toggle option for it in the settings.

Well, I am not sure about anyone else, but I certainly would not call this bland.

Absolute worst change was the lighting "fix".

PvPing under darkness with rain clouds with the occasional lightning strike illuminating your fights was great.

Mashille · August 2015

@JD2013

Yes but most of the time the world doesn't look like this sometimes it can look great and it does. And you may prefer it this way but I know that many people prefer it to be brighter and it would be nice to have the option.

I would also love to be able to see further than 10 meters without a crappy grey fog covering my screen even in pure sunlight.

(Please ZOS Give me further View Distance)

Go check the doctor, you must be colorblind.

Mashille · August 2015

Some agrees on my post would be nice

remilafo · August 2015

Eso actually looks better on my computer than what is shown in the video.

Eso scales very well with good pc hardware and yes sweetfx...

JD2013 · August 2015

Sorry dude, agree to disagree.

I think this game looks really lovely.
