Forums - Gaming - The best upgrade this gen: bigger draw distances!

Mummelmann said:
Been enjoying massive draw distance for years now, mods and community patches work wonders on games. I remember gasping at Gothic 3 after I increased the draw distance a great deal. It really helps with immersion.

I remember gasping at Morrowind when I installed the 3.0 mod or whatever it was because draw distance ruined the game. All of a sudden you could see from one end of the map to the other. So I reduced the draw and turned the fog back on that way I could play it again.

But that's an exception. Draw distance is an improvement I've welcomed with open arms.



Around the Network

Draw distance and resolution go hand in hand. On consoles draw distance has finally caught up with the resolution games run at, thus no longer noticeable. Well almost, Fallout 4 still has noticeable low res distance assets and your own buildings fade out far too soon.

XBX might have long draw distance yet enemies popping up right in front of you is pretty bad.



Definitely looking really nice.

Xenoblade X has a lot of pop ins but is limited due to Wii U hardware

Judging by the images alone, it looks like Just Cause is the winner though
