OF FREAKIN COURSE YOU HAVE TO USE SHADER EFFECTS NOW I CANT PLAY THIS U TURDS

[Morseliot]

I think someday, you guys will be better then big game developers... I wish you Luck!

People really think that PS3 is powerful?

PS3 can't do shit if it's not in a tight coridor filled with loading screens and blur n bloom.

I'd want to see how PS3 can handle openworld+high resolution+HR textures+AA+a good physics engine for example.

[notlekrut]

@1Usernamehere1 Are you sure? The PS3 processing capabilities have been amazing but the only problem is the development that takes time. Developers say it's hard to develop game for ps3. Why do you think Multi-plataform games have bad graphics on ps3 when comparing to xbox? But you got Uncharted 3. No other game in console has that graphics, no other. And if you want a game with what you said, you have Red Dead Redemption, that looks beautiful no matter what console you choose.

@notlekrut

Well, I wouldn't like to argue about this. Console hardware is 6 years old, so there is no way it can produce good graphics these days. Console games run in 720p resolution, are capped at 30 FPS, have no AA. That's laughable. The illusion of graphical advancement on consoles comes from cutting corners. The contrast between character and background asset detail is stunning. Old tech even affects gameplay: skyrim had to get rid of several armor slots for some extra blingies.

[notlekrut]

@1Usernamehere1 Actuallly runs at 1080p on the PS3. Only the wii runs at 720p. And i'll say once again, look at Uncharted 3, if you think console graphics aren't good. And not every game runs at 30 fps,That depends on how heavy the engine is. Either way, 30 fps is all you need to play, smoothly. But i agree with one thing. The next-gen games that are coming could have arrived sooner because developers release games for the biggest crowd. But every people have they're opinion and i respect yours.

@notlekrut

But the vast majority of console games are not 1080p. Google "1080p ps3 games".

And I disagree with your statement about U3. I find the graphics quite average, for a linear game. Some of the background textures are just horrendous. For an example on PC, look at Metro 2033. Google image "dx11veryhightessellatio.jpg".

Framerates. I'd say, a high framerate is vital for fast paced and competitive games. The difference can be easily seen: google "30 fps 60 fps comparison".

[notlekrut]

@1Usernamehere1 What i'm saying is that if there were no consoles, we would only have pc games but with much better quality, Bigger games with better graphics, better AI, physics and all that.

[1Usernamehere1]

@notlekrut

Then again, graphics are secondary to gameplay. I would be fine with console hardware, if not the industry's destructive lust for technical graphics. Art-style contributes far more to the graphical appeal of a game, in my opinion.

But the industry wants technical graphics, and so other elements of the game suffer.

[zozolino15]

it will be f2p Crab

[Godnoken]

@zozolino15 No it won't...

[armyman527]

@zozolino15 No it wont.

[hexmanhex]

too much promo...too less game...

[SyntaxandSemantics]

@hexmanhex This isn't promo, it's a devlog. It's an important motivational technique for game developers to keep contact with their fanbase, and also show off what they've been doing for the last week/month, and be proud of it.

[hexmanhex]

@SyntaxandSemantics jepp you are right...i was scared it could be all but the last 5 months had shown exactly the opposite^^

[Crabjesus]

it won't be free to play. Most likely it'll be shareware.

[Blank2k8]

when will it be out and will it be f2p?

[Wuzzup222]

Not sure what the overgrowth engine is, but looks fun.

[kamilfreeman]

please give us playable beta :V

[TheGadler]

WOW.... PS3 graphics :)

[BladesAndBackpacks]

try "100x better than PS3" graphics

[rarf2142]

This isn't 100x better than ps3 graphics!

[MrJJ1233]

these are

[nathanmellop]

@BladesAndBackpacks you wish

[xXlilgraham2Xx]

@BladesAndBackpacks

not really, ps3 could do "100x better than this" but its still pretty good

[DorkDorkersonPSN]

@xXlilgraham2Xx

Guys, stop creating a Console War...

even though the PS3 would win.

[xXlilgraham2Xx]

@DorkDorkersonPSN

haha :D

[DirtyDickMurdoch]

@xXlilgraham2Xx ps3 cant do shit compared to a pc

[xXlilgraham2Xx]

@DirtyDickMurdoch

i never said anything about pc being shit compared to the ps3 so shut the fuck up. i was saying that overgrowth isnt top shit and that ps3 could probably do better than this. dont fucking reply being like,"ps3 sucks, pc is the best", cause i dont give a shit about this fucking nerd war.

[cyborgchimpy]

@xXlilgraham2Xx ofcourse ps3 cant do better, a ps3 is a game computer. you buy it, thats what you get and will keep until a complete new system comes out. pc. you buy it and keep upgrading. POINT MADE

[SuperCyberSock]

@xXlilgraham2Xx

Can't believe how fucking raging people are over one factually correct statement

[xXlilgraham2Xx]

@SuperCyberSock

Wait. Are you agreeing with me?

[SuperCyberSock]

@xXlilgraham2Xx YES

[1Usernamehere1]

@xXlilgraham2Xx

Are you really comparing final ingame graphics with a goddamn technodemo recorded to show the physics engine? Really?

Go be stupid somewhere else.

[massampage]

is this a game maker or just an engine?

[omarmorek]

It is the engine of an upcoming game, but it will be completely moddable.

[TVoneiro]

this is going to be such a big upgrade from Lugaru, AAAH cant wait!!

[poddus]

I'm guessing the terrain is being rendered similarly as in Lugaru in that the bottom of the dune is really just the skybox. However once the objects roll down the terrain they seem float above the skybox (you can see it at 0:34). I'd suggest removing the objects after they're a certain distance away, but then you run into the "GTA car problem", where you're trying to gather objects but they simply disappear unrealistically. You guys probably know about this already, just though I'd point it out.

[BEASHTS]

Yes it's called culling

[tekn04]

The terrain engine is completely new!

They only looks like they're floating because the lighting isn't finished.

[Burnyhands]

Great! Physics! I can't wait till I get my graffics card in so I can try the alpha! (already pre-ordered! :D)

[cmyszka]

haha... that last box was WIN. You just sent it flying slingshot style...

*ahem* yes, well... very impressive. Even though it's been and seems like it will be a while before Overgrowth is released, I like that you keep us so updated and involved. I read the daily blogs and love all the videos you make. It's much better than just saying, "It's coming... be patient." You guys make even the _waiting_ fun...

[charginmahlob]

First :D also, cool.

But honestly, we have seen boxes flying around for ages. I know you guys are indie, but when are we gonna see something new interms of gae physics?

Like.....DMM *hint hint*

[Silwerfish]

Hey, they've got to start somewhere, and we're actually lucky we get to see anything from the development of this game at all.
