Cool Vanguard Day/Night test

[Kran De Loy]

Dear GOD I love how dark Dusk is and how bright Dawn is.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I want to play

I still find dark a bit too bright, I don't see the point of night vision gear and organizing night raid when it's just a blue filter : (, maybe NC raid will be better at night

Doubt that there's different phase for the moon and a sharp difference between cloudy and open sky, can always hope

It looks just so awesome! Thanks for posting Taz.

Cheers,

This sure is a bad ass game Higby, T-Ray and Dev's are giving us.

[CrystalViolet]

Love me some tech n9ne.

Kinda wish it went darker to the point it's really hard to see without headlights.

But other than that, IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!

Now only if my computer could handle it...

[lMABl]

Impressive, such a beautiful engine!

I'd also like to see less lighting at night time, but I figure that's gonna have to wait for a poll in August'ish when there could reasonably be enough people with access to the main beta forums to actually get a somewhat viable response to it.

I noticed that the extremes happen around dusk and dawn, maybe a total of 20% of the time frame spent between either Dusk where shit is massive dark or Dawn where shit is massive bright.

Like this is my estimate of the day-night cycle (without actually checking numbers).
Dawn begins: 5%
Super bright, can't see anything 100 meters or more away.

Dawn ends: 5%
Begins to even out less ground mist and visibility distance increases gradually.

Day: 40%

Dusk begins: 5%
Sun is setting for a few seconds, super bright on one side as with Dawn however the light does not linger, becomes Super Dark very very quickly.

Dusk ends: 5%
Moons coming out, blue filter phasing in and visibility distance increases gradually.

Night (blue filter): 40%

How bright the night is depends on the moons. They've said it can get REALLY dark.

I'm interested if there will be any other interaction between the moons and the star. I'm thinking eclipses and what have you.

brings a tear to my eye

[Hamma]

This is pretty awesome.

[ComerEste]

I really love the planets moving at around 10 seconds in. Going to be so nice finally playing a game with a good sky box.

Yup, exactly what I was thinking. The dynamic lighting they are going to have with ForgeLight will really make it seem real I think. The moons give off light but in certain view points, nooks and crannies in landscape/buildings it will most likely be pitch black.... Hence the need for the night vision stuff, when the need arises...

Okay, I know this is a video game, but this is still a tank shell supposedly traveling at ballistic speeds fast enough to where the speed of the shell comprises a good amount of its destructive force. The shells in that video would practically have to be self-propelled and finned in order to reasonably move that slowly in such a manner...

BUT, they ARE NC, so they probably would use self-propelled rounds (aka giant bolter cannon).

While I hate NC as the worst faction ever, GOD THAT WOULD GET MY PANTS WET.
