Zectifin Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I don't even care if Jupiter and the sun would block everything out, and ceres would be a speck. It would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucentsLight Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Eh. I would rather them do the climate on certain planets right first. For example, Venus should not have ice on the planet at all. It is the second closest to the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 They should make Earth more 'legit'. I mean Everest seems nothing like a mountain at all :/ But well if you argue that they are just the name of the spaceships that orbit around that planet... then :OKAY: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Maybe in DE's fictional world it's this way even if it makes little sense. Such as ice on Venus and not to size planets. Plus it's far in the future too. In regards to realism cityscapes would be great though. While ME3 completely and utterly failed (more things than one mind you) at depicting the ruined streets of London I'd love to go through DE's version of it instead.

I love when a game says "you're going to be fighting in this real world location to get you more invested" and it has NOTHING to do with said location. I'd rather it be a made up city. When a game gets the look and feel of a real world place that you've been to before, its quite immersive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argoms Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Getting into a pluto mission would require more skill than actually completing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuntium Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Yeah, how about no. I would rather not spend hours trying to find the tiny dots that are Eris and Pluto. Also, before anyone suggests it, making the planets a realistic distance from each other would not be okay either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotitron Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Of all of the issues the game is facing, this is a priority? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuntium Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Good luck, Tenno. Heck, I'm pretty sure even that isn't realistic, if I remember my 9th grade science correctly the distance between planets past Jupiter goes up by several orders of magnitude. (as in, with a Pluto orbit of the same size as shown in that picture you wouldn't even be able to see the orbits of the inner 4 or 5 planets.

Magicfingers Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 it's a parallel universe...not exactly like ours, but similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is to scale, look real close at the lens flare from the sun, you can see a bunch of orbit tracks mashed in together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judopunch Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Id be happy if they all were spinning and orbiting the right way :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhh gotcha, I see them now. First time I didn't actually click on the picture and they were invisible. Anyway, a little bit more realism wouldn't be too bad, as in, planets orbiting the right direction, Venus not having ice levels, and the "planets" that are actually moons orbiting their planets and not the sun.

Vyaldyn Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 http://www.solarsystemscope.com/ - Select to-scale on the bottom left. With that kind of menu... good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearb0x Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yeah. No. Games sacrifice "realism" for fun many times over. The menu UI should be useful, not an impediment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LapuLapo Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Just buy Universe Sandbox on Steam, man.I understand what you want. It's not going to happen. It's too much work and maths to make it look even remotely usable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
