When is the graphics overhaul coming?

i guess GGG needs a proper art director, with 1M you can outsorce all your work, thats how its done in big companys, instead of paying 70 employes, they have 20 and outsource to freelancers. look at polycount forum so much good artist with fair rates, and with a game like this ppl are even wiling to work for free for portfolio models u can even make some constest for models and give out some prizes, i wish i had the oportunity GGG has rigth now ^^
Keep it up, and dont trow it. |

Path of Exile looks good enough to me, I don't want the graphics to be too good to even run the game on people who uses older systems like me.

I think PoE should look more like this and I hope that GGG will address the issue in the future.
 On a more serious note, I think the graphics in PoE are excellent. I like the dirt/grunge style and find that it fits well with the setting and storyline. I'm not very fond of the overpolished look of many modern games, where everything is blurry and all surfaces look like porcelain. |

Meh, all those latest Final Fantasy games are garbage.
Good games are not about graphics. Why do you think Starcraft 1 of 1998 has such a huge online player base 14 years later and stilling sell for top dollar? Because not only is great art ageless, but gameplay > graphics. We want as many people playing POE as possible that means some minor cutbacks. Not biggie the game looks incredible on max. And can even dip to 30 FPS on my Radeon HD 4870 and Phenom II X2 I would say thats incredible considering how this game was designed to run on older pcs. Perhaps later on they can enable some more fancy lighting and particle effects. Simple stuff that don't need a great deal of work or any overhaul. Also Final Fantasy 7 is superior to Final Fantasy 13 and look at the huge gap, from PS1 to ps3 Look how Awesome my MTX Marauder RF looks

" Dude please the colors and graphics are perfect. I don't know what that guy is smoking, if he thinks white lighting is better he is living in a fantasy world. Everything about POE fits brilliantly. I see nothing wrong with graphics in this game. Graphics do not make video games neither. Remember Blizzard's philosophy. Gameplay > Graphics True art is Ageless. You need not the latest in cutting edge visuals. All you need is good artist and POE already has that. Crysis got stale in 1 year. Teamfortress 2 looks as mouth watering and refreshing today as the day it was made. Therefore the 2 greatest Game companies on earth, Valve and Blizzard understands this. And now the greatest Indie Game company on earth GGG, understands this. I would say nothing needs "fixing" Time would be better spent on upgrading the way point by adding more visuals than just a plain white glow. Other than that can't see anything actually wrong with this game. Ask someone whats wrong with Diablo 3 and you would get 100 pages of complaints in 1 hour. Look how Awesome my MTX Marauder RF looks

Of course gameplay is very important game. What defines Path of Exile is the amazing gameplay content, extensive skill tree, but I can go on and on.
Graphics do add to a game in my opinion. Graphics doesn't have to be OMGBBQ FXAA 128x/HDR 3-D Bloomz. It 'could' be that, but it simply just how the game is visually represented and how it conveys the game's atmosphere. There are indie game like Limbo that is fairly simple but looks amazing. And on the other side, games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R that uses DirectX 10/11 god-ray and advanced lighting that combined with it's weather system, brings out the immersion of a dark, desolate area. To some people graphics isn't important. But to me, it isn't as high up there as gameplay but it does help the game. The thing that stands out the most for PoE is its dark gritty look and shadows. Fits the game and atmosphere great. The contrast of torches and dark shadowy caves is amazing. If PoE to improve in the graphical department, I would have it focus more on the lighting/shadow even more. More dark details in the environment like gore, and other things that just reminds the player that Wraeclast is NOT a pleasant place to be in. |

The graphic look very good.
But somes areas of Act 1 need somes improvements, Like Terraces, The Ledge and the Rocky climb. Also some spells effect for the caster need improvements. that's all, almost everything look great for me. Last edited by Aminence#2242 on Jan 14, 2013, 11:25:43 PM
