#planetside2 #graphics #update - Ігри
The graphics update is nothing short but a necessity. Without it, it becomes increasingly harder to attract new players.
Agreed.
When I started playing, planetside was one of the best looking games I had knowledge of. It really was incredible, on top of the scale. I trudged on in my entirely inadequate computer and 10fps lagfests because it was just that good.
But obviously time passes and technology moves on. Planetside isn't ugly on high settings, but sure as hell isn't as insane as some of its contemporaries. Moreover it does suffer with giving low graphics a straight up advantage, meaning people will make their game look worse to gain an advantage as colors (and therefore, enemies) pop up far more like so.
the new graphics are not gonna attract more new players. while sure its updated, the game still looks the same.
@@littletweeter1327 not these ones for sure, but every tiny bit helps.
Planetside already dominates on aesthetics just because of its immense scale leading to visual spectacles that can't be seen anywhere else, however there is a few minor additions that could really step up the feel even if obviously such an old game is not going to have a complete framework makeover.
Sadly you'll still have to play on potatoe to be competitive
I had to put my game into colour blindness mode. Having hardly played for a few years, coming back to the new graphics where there are no colours and hardly any contrast, it's like a totally worse game.
I feel like these graphical upgrades matter to a lot of people (especially anti-aliasing) and surely are good for the look of the game. I don't personally care much about them (only the bit of optimization that comes with them), but yeah surely it is a good change. Quality content as always cami!
Don't know why, but this comment and the way it was worded has made my morning!
Old ones hurt eyes
Appreciate it mate. Definitely keen to see how these updates effect the game beyond visuals (if anything)
The better things about antialasing. To give in options ability to turn it off. For thouse who doesnt like any type of antialasing!
i dont share that enthusiasm :/
As someone newer to Planetside. I came for the spectacle of the massive fights and ability to move wherever and join and leave whenever. I got tired of battlefield 4 and other FPS games so I moved here. And as someone from that point the graphics update will help drastically with getting the attention of jaded Battlfield players
how does it feel to be a new player?
@@giampaolomannucci8281 Really fun, it's nice to be able to just go somewhere else in the same fight and leave the game whenever I want or need to. Being the support classes is honestly just as rewarding as being the offensive classes. It feels a little unfair that you have to unlock so much stuff to be even close to being able to do anything (having a bunch of stuff locked behind outfits is kinda annoying for someone just wanting to be a solo player, but I can get it makes Orbital Strikes and Bastions actually big events especially when there's 4 in a row, Maybe setup a mentor's Outfit for newbies. I had to make my own outfit to enjoy that stuff and I'm just barely starting to get my first Orbital Strike)
In the end though it's way better then any other main fps game like Battlefield or COD
@@iaxacs3801 I'm glad you're still enjoying it. Compared to previous years the new player experience has been improved with time by the devs, even as the community gets older and better at the game, making it harder for a lot of new players. Have to be honest though you joined at a really rough time for the game, the spawn system changes have been killing it slowly by not allowing fights to develop and stick, instead having everyone bounce around the map as fast as the redeploy timer will allow. Many outfits which provide the foundation for new players to steady their feet on in the game have outright stopped running ops over the (unintentional) spawn changes that happened last year. I pray these new changes are comprehensive and really address the core of the issue, I was really worried about the game dying due to the drop in new player retention the spawn system caused.
The devs should add the cool night sky when the NSO fleet carrier comes. It’s amazing and really feels immersive when you battle under the night sky.
YES. Esamir is so much more enjoyable with the dark sky!!!
I can't believe how much effort went into that skybox, for it to just appear sometimes during specific time of year
They should add a big cloud when the bastion spawns because right now it just spawns out of thin air and looks fucked
I hate fighting the VS at night, hard to see most of them.
@@LordDonutz I love playing VS at night, people are noticably less aware of my presence (in smaller battles at least) :)
If only they haven't ruined the battlegoose....
But yeah, i also love the night sky when the neutral carrier comes. It's the perfect mix between darkness and the ability to see what's happening around unlike the "regular" nights.
Those confirmed changes are already huge. I'm stoked. Also that ending clip where you got the Desolation skybox to appear on Indar looked fucking awesome.
Glad you’re excited mate!
Just upgraded my pc, and just in time it seems. Looking forward to this.
Well played mate!
I feel the graphics should've been updated earlier, but I am still happy to see they did not ignore the state of it
I feel there’s still a ton of stuff that I would place higher on the priority list over graphics still, but it’s a welcome addition nonetheless
actually they were downgraded a lot in omfg patches
@@CAMIKAZE78 Spawn system and facility capture method changes could be huge. I personally would like to see an overhaul of the resource system to encourage more diverse playstyles and vehicle usage from players.
the future of this game is looking nice, love to see the devs working at it . VS needs more love tho ;)
Sooooo...Darkstar Nerfs?
I agree with the first sentence but the last words EXCUSE ME ?!
The anti aliasing is probably the largest improvement. The jump from "effectively nothing" to TAA is gonna be fantastic
There was a time eons ago that you could enable particle physics for a bunch of things like the gravity lifts and then they cut the feature.
The tank explosions in the update look so good. Cause that's how explosions irl actually looks like. Not some big fireball but mostly smoke, debris, and dirt. Depending on the explosion impact location
generally, once players set the potato settings, they tends to increase their stats ... Ultra settings make the game more immersive but at the same time, it makes more difficult to spot the enemies ...
Some people are not very competitive and I, personally, love when games give an immersive experience, rather than pure stat-building. I remember PS2 at start, before they cut the graphics for performance. My pc was struggling in large scale battles, but at the same time I was amazed how cool it looked.
people usually play games to have fun
@@samyt681 Having frames dip below the refresh rate of your monitor isn't very fun
Back then, near the initial release, the game looked much better than it does now. A lot of lighting effects were removed for performance reasons. Also there were nice PhysX effects, the "elevators" were awesome.
Yeah I remember that from the launch days. I played the beta I believe. It was an amazing spectacle to behold in 2011
All those things are really tiny and borderline insignificant. Models, meshes and textures are what REALLY needs a update.
I really enjoy Cami's Light Assault gameplay clips. I main LA and like seeing his evasion tactics
Glad you enjoyed the gameplay mate. Cheers!
This clearly means that with the graphic update a new cinematic must be made. ;)
Totally agree
that actually a good point 👉 new cinematic w/ new trailer, advertise it like it's a Remastered or New Title.
I absolutely knew a comment like this was coming 😂
@@CAMIKAZE78 I am not one to dissapoint
Currently running the game on a laptop (Not a gaming laptop) so any optimization improvements are welcome
I really like the new and improved graphics options, the only thing in not so sure about are the new work in progress explosion effects. It looks like a pretty realistic, but kind of cheap effect. Or it just doesn't fit in the game for me. But still, it's work in progress and all the other improvements look very nice!
Time to play it again, havent played for almost a year. I always play with optics as high as possible, i really love that planetside still gets love from the devs
Oh boi, can't wait for this to get to PS4, **Inhales copium**
But seriously, I gotta give it to the devs, they are working their butt off with the game the last few years
Looks amazing, I play on a computer made of the innards of woodland animals so I probably won't see any of this, but glad for this!
The tank effects looks like it came from that old action movie fx app for the iPhone. The missile strike one lol
Great video as always Cami, keep it up!
You got black camo?
That is quite the accomplishment.
Cam you are quite the badass.
And to answer the question, I am glad to see some improvements to this venerable game.
Love your videos, I don't get to play so much anymore but I want PlanetSide to stay strong and successful 👍
PS my fps seems to be held back more by CPU than GPU these days. Dunno if it's just me. But hoping any new work on the graphics engine improves this.
Yeah explosive optimization should help a lot. I notice big drops in frames when explosives are everywhere in big Zerg fights more than anything with a modern rig.
You and me both mate, my fingers are crossed
I'm definitely looking forward to the graphics update!
Can we just take a moment and appreciate the excellent work of the devs? Planetside 2 is one of the best games I have ever seen, groundbreaking tech in 2012, with unmatched quality of software. There has hardly been any bugs in the 10 years I played. Let's do another 10!
How can we enlist our outfit for participate the event ultimate empire shadow? which server? thanks
im really looking forward for this one, im one of those players who wants the best of both worlds, prioritizing performance and aesthetics in my useroptions lol. It came just in time as well because i just upgraded my CPU and GPU haha.
i heard about some skybox changes, didn't hear about the Anti-Aliasing changes..good. excellent. about time
Yes change to spawn system for sure is going to make me go back to playing!
The squad system revised was had me the most hyped sucks that i have to wait until next year (hoping that it will be next year)
perfect, i was just looking into updating my rig too
Any idea if the new explosion effects will be applied to old vehicles? Right now Dervishes and Chimera's have much nicer explosion effects than the old ones.
All together sounds and looks great
Wow. That SSR looks fantastic
The graphical improvements will be almost free for most users with modern mid(ish)-range GPUs at 1080p since they're all pixel bound and not really affecting the CPU.
As you said, the game is almost entirely CPU bound for the majority of players so the explosion effects will probably not have any significant impact on larger fights unless you are standing directly in an effect (pixel overdraw on the whole screen).
Not too fond of TAA in FPS games due to it increasing input latency. While good ol' FXAA might blur things a bit too much on lower resolutions, it's nonetheless very welcome,
and will be a treat on higher res monitors. And it's cheap too! I look forward to not mistaking aliasing for player movement.
I run 1440p and am very much looking forward to running FXAA and cranking those settings.
Does TAA in particular cause latency? Or are you simply referring to lower FPS?
@@Isaxus12 It "blends" current and past frames, so you get a slight bit of latency. For many it's not noticable, but for some it is.
its funny when I first got into this game Camikaze was a life saver. I went to his stream and donated my thanks and he spent the rest of the stream telling me how Planetside 2 was dead and he was moving on to other content. Looking back now I realized thats when I quit playing
it does seem to be a right step in the right direction
Me on PS4 still waiting for the summer event to drop... PS4 hasn't had an update since around March or April. All i wish is for the devs to say something as to why we are forgotten.
10x lower population, is what I assume is the reason to favor PC.
In big fights I struggle to even hit 30 fps at times so I'd rather have that improved
i am very exsited becuse updates like this mean that they have more then just designers on the team
I'm excited for the graphics update! The assets in Planetside 2 aren't bad, so lighting improvements and post-processing will hopefully let them shine like never before!
hopefully this'll come over to PlayStation, we haven't even gotten the halloween event update yet
Wait you get updates?
@@pedropimenta896 yeah no building system or a few other things. However it's a blast to play console especially PS5 loading speeds.
What sniper and scope are you using at 5:50?
now i need a new CPU, upgraded my GPU a while ago, nowdays im mostly CPU bound.
but im stroked for the improved visuals
Have you tried limiting audio channels? Its silly how much CPU it consumes!
hmm might be worth it.
yet i get around 120FPS on the Sanctuary.
-edit tried it, limited it to 32 channels, no real change on the sanctuary, have to check it ingame
@@superbrain3848 yeah, on sanctuary it makes no diff. But on big fights (90+) it makes a huge diff if you are CPU bound.
they literally just need to bring back planetside 2 graphics from 2012, the game looked so much better back then.
trutth
PS2 deserver a graphics overhaul. Update vehicle and base armors to 2022. I dont think that "retro futuristic" kept up very well
the new AA is the only thing that will impact the game graphically :)
that's kinda huge, one of the reasons I haven't touched this game in awhile is because the game kinda looks old/dirty compared to the games I've tried recently (valorant, the cycle, now overwatched)
My screen can onlty physically manage up to 60 fps, I don't see any need to 140 even if I could. For us to see a video we only need less than 30 fps, then the difference between 60 and 200 fades away.
I am so happy about these updates. The graphical changes are welcome and optimisation is always good. The spawn system had to change, it was killing this game. New styles of facility capture, depending on what they actually mean could be huge. Perhaps it gives ways for mid-fits or small outfits to affect the flow of alerts to a higher degree and helps avoid a 1-way rotation around the map where the majority of pop doesn't bother fighting eachother and it's an overpop on every front.
Personally I would like to see changes to the nanite resources system. As it is it encourages single forms of play and has been slowly killing off aspects of the game, particularly for new players. Who wants to waste nanites pulling a plane which will probably be shut down by skynights in a minute flat when those resources are better spent on tanks or infantry resources you might actually be allowed to use. Splitting resources into seperate catagories helps encourage diverse play so as not to waste any resource. It would also make cortium base vehicle and air spawns much more useful and of higher priority to deal with. Perhaps if operational terminals get marked on the map but are made tankier, they could be worthwhile objectives to go and destroy to stem the ability of the enemy to pull force multipliers.
So hyped 10/10 🎉
Glad to see this game keep getting updates despite being 10 years old and having a little humble playerbase
Get your friends to try PS2! Especially now with double xp weekends! let's bump up those playernumbers!
Are they finally making Bastion fights turn into BF2142 titan mode?
Im new does someone know how do i use the nuke
Cpu bound at 4k, can they please fix the UI in 4K?
A ps5 optimization update and putting the game in the ps store properly would be pretty awesome if they could pull it off. I mean the game used to be in the ps store and also theyve done an optimization update for the ps4 pro when it launched in the past, so I dont see why they wouldnt be able to do it now.
Also if they could fix the broken aim assist so us console plebs could actually aim again that would be nice...
PS, buff vanu ;)
Vanu is blessed.
Seriously though magriders climbing 90⁰ walls and one shotting is a bit of a nightmare as a TR.
+1 to more PS5 upgrades, the speed is nice though.
Lmk when they fix the framerate and firerate being dependant on fps
first person your arms matchs your armour.
i hope they bring back the old sky and continent colors.
I miss planetside 2, need a new beast of a pc to run it now 😭
i wonder when will the Planetside Arena Lightassault Skin get a HD Update :D
They should also replace skyboxes giving more colorful sunsets/rises etc....
3:50 those vanu terminals switching to nc lol.
Optimization will certainly help, if they also squeeze it in with these graphical upgrades.
lol your funny man
@@chancecoulombe8393 My funny man? What about my funny man?
It's you're** 🙄
That they would optimize this game
nice 😁 am excited now. Just upgraded to the rtx 4090
Listen now that those are out, the game is fking gorgeous!
I hope they fix outfit chat being broken for some people.
I don't know if you already did it, but could you upload your options.ini file. I like how your game looks and it seems to run rather well!
The most important thing to keep the current population is the spawn system
i really hope the graphic update will get rid of the edge between low graphics and high graphics imbalance or they should just have the addition to the update where firerate isnt tied to your fps anymore that'd be the go
No such thing will occur my friend, firerate being tied to frame rate is a pretty common trend in the industry, and it’s pretty much impossible to eliminate a competitive edge granted otherwise by more frames.
I was hoping a big one and this is barely noticeable lol
Im excited about the graphics update3, but idk if I will use it. FPS wins fights, in ps2 more than in other games. So I hope the FPS dont drops so hard cause of the new effects.
Nice one
Did the graphics update already come out?
FXAA: cool
TAA: blurry mess in fps games
Vehicle colors: really cool
Lightning: sure i guess
SSR: -40fps. also why is the *floor* all lubed up when you got SSR on lmfao
Water: looks cool
Explosions: we'll see if it *actually* improves performance. they dont have a good track record with this stuff
Spawn System: surely it cant get any worse right? surely
Bastion: "new tricks up its sleeve" oh jesus... uh oh
Crossout will be having an update with exact same graphics improving technologies next week. So I'll be able to enjoy it slightly earlier than you, folks. (or you know, see if my graphics card explode or not)
The screenshots with TAA are looking so very good.
when this update will hit the game?
I believe that the developers would benefit a lot if they took time to re optimize the game to use more gpu loaded processing. Everyone in the community would love them if they could make the game run better. Maybe find ways to update the rendering pipeline and introduce things such as CAS and AMD FSR and possibly dlss to help with the large fights would go a long way in terms of game play quality in my opinion. But I am also aware that the engine is super old and may not support these functions. Overall I think it would be beneficial to the planetside 2 team and community if 2023 road map was focused on optimization and improving performance by updating aspects of the engine the game runs on!
Or just more cores honestly, though I get the impression that would be a fundamental overhaul of the engine.
@TorideTheRising Wind even games today do not use more than 2 cores, the engine is just 10-12 years old and is not optimized for hardware today like other games
Imagine the bastion carrying droppods
I wish my game ran like yours damn. What hardware are you using?
Honestly I hope they scale the UI to fit 4K resolutions. I was so ready to play after getting the new computer & stuff but was disappointed when I saw the tiny (enlarged) mini map, icons, and text. Makes it hard to use any of it.
Will this come out to PS5? Or will PS5 be ignore?
The graphics update is a welcome addition to the game. However, as you mentioned the rough patch Connery ran into during this year all but killed the server. Outside of mergers or some incentive to bring players back, I don't know what the Devs can do. The only viable server for the US players at the moment is Emerald, which is pretty sad.
Hope they add those Nvidia things they took out
indar skybox change?
I’m guessing that none of this is coming to PS4 as usual?
I just want devs to optimaze this game a little more cause I dont wanna upgrade my pc to have fun in 48-96 fights
Are they ever going to update the walking, running and jumping sound effects so that they don't so low quality? It's such a small thing but it has been a huge bug bear of mine since the game launched. Lol
Ok, unrelated question but something bothers me greatly every time i watch a PS2 video - how are the recording players surviving so long? I can understand them killing others fast - better aim and everything, but so many instances where he just enters a room or peeks through a door, shoots for 2-3-4 seconds and gets to live and retreat. My everyday experience is that the moment my nose pokes around the corner suddenly several people all land their headshots on me and kill me before i even register all the enemies in the room. I've tried all - slow turning around, running/charging in (to exploit the latency), nothing works.
I can already see my glitched infra-red implant before my eyes.
I mean, what we were getting these past two years was already so much more than we got from SOE and Daybreak in the entirety, back than it was just camos, skins, same reskins of new weapons.... now? These guys are taking care of it like they really liked planetside....
So...no PhysX?
I'm guessing they are adding AMD FSR to allow for better FPS with minimal hit to graphics quality
Hey Cami! If/when you do another talk with Wrel, can you ask if there are any plans to get back into console development, or if it's been basically shelved? I'd also like to know what consoleside players could do. Would 100 more memberships make putting a guy on coding worth it??
Consoleside is to the point where even my Outfit's consistent ops leader since 2015 is acting like the game is going to be officially dead by the end of the year. I've accepted Consoleside's lesser importance, I just want to know what's going on.
Let me remind you about parity issues:
1. STILL 0 access to Esamir. I think it's been well over a year since Containment Sites dropped.
2. No vehicle spawning from menus
3... Y'know, I either forget, or they've been tackling small parity issues recently.
I love this game so much. Making a PC account and trying to play is just depressing though, since all my years have been spent on consoleside.
In my opinion, they should work on CPU optimization. my old CPU 2700x AMD had big problems with the game. The CPU was not used properly. My new CPU 5800x3D is used better and also brings full performance. Only a small part of the communiti uses these graphic innovations anyway.
Forgot to talk about ps4 version😔. When will we get esamir back??!
Global warming dood. It melted.
A shame
this is unfortunate. they should have implemented vulkan which would have made it much easier to focus on CPU processes. like i really dont think it looks that different or better.
