The look of the sky

[DarkApothecary]

I don't know about guys, but im hoping planetside has an amazing sky. I havent really seen much of it in gameplay so far, but as silly as it seems a really great sky with heaps of effort and detail put in to (kind of like Skyrim) just sets a game on a different scale. How do you guys feel?

i feel like the skybox i saw in the e3 stream was incredible, multiple planets/moons in the sky and stuff

looked beautifull.

Just take a look at some of the game play videos, mate. You'll see it.. and it looks great. Especially when it's filled with tracer projectiles <3

Not only does the sky already eat games like that for breakfast, it is going to continuously expanded. Eventually, the weather and sky will effect combat and give us all sorts of fun. but right now, the clouds already give soft shadows perfectly, it's rather incredible.

Yeah, it is too bad that gameplay-affecting weather-effects isnt in the game yet, but when it comes i am sure they will do a fantastic job with the weather. But for now, i am just waiting eagerly for beta. The faster they make it go online the better.

Whenever they finally get volumetric clouds into the playable space, dogfights are going to be that much more fun.

Q.F.T!

Particularly when the smoke from burning vehicles creates plumes of dark smoke that drift across the battlefield subject to wind and weather conditions.

And dogfighting through thunderclouds in a rainstorm... damn, it makes me wonder why anyone might not want to fly an aircraft!

What videos have you been watching in the last couple of weeks? I've seen tons of sky

The stuff I saw in the E3 streams was mind blowing when it come to the stream, incredibly well done

I've watched like all the videos but I haven't really been paying attention to the sky.

Then pay attention to the sky before you claim that there is no sky in the previous footage...
