Graphical effects.

Some thought process going through after watching the TV-series compared to the game.
I know this game was made for current gen consoles so think these for the next gen or just PC.

These are what i desire for visuals.
The razor rain for example during major arkfall. Arkfalls looking like meteor impacting atmosphere and the ground. Arkfalls looking like an actual space debris. Wind effects, storms. Particle physics for explosions.
EGO-interface being transparent.

The game looks excellent and i play it daily. Just few visuals make playing feel too much like a game and immersion breaks quite many times during a session.

What are other players thoughts and what breaks your immersion?

It's a nice thought but they've already scaled things back in Arkfalls because the consoles can't handle it...that's why everyone looks the same.

Even with the new consoles...presuming Defiance is ported to them...the game would still have to play to the lowest denominator.

Thats why many of us play on PCs. To be able to get good graphics. If you are gonna release a game on the PC you should atleast make an effort to bring said game up to PC standards.
But alot devs these days do lazy console ports, though they are getting better, so i suppose it should come as no surprise that Defiance plays by those same rules.
