Night/day cycle and whether.

Post » Sat Jun 27, 2009 6:05 pm

Will there be a realistic night and day cycle along with changes in whether? There was an MMOFPS I used to love called Planetside. Instead of a night and day cycle there was this purple hue in the sky. I'm hoping you won't go with anything like that. We'd like to see realistic darkness for night. As well as rain and maybe snow.

I don't think that the sky will have changed much from how it is now, rain, snow, clouds :P if there is water those stuff should exist too, it just depends on how hot it is. If it is really hot we could probably presume that it only rains at nights since the water evaporates too quickly in the sun.

If they make the worldmap big then maybe there could be some snow more up north (assumption is based upon f1,f2).

Anyway, I would like to see rain, snow, sunny, cloudy, night and day in the game, weather could be depending in which area you are in or if its night or day. Image

Nothing like a little acid rain here and there.

Honestly i just want it too rain every once in a while since you never get that in fallout 1 or 2 (at least ive never seen if it exists in fallout 1 or 2) For day/night cycle maybe we could have so that the game runs on a six hour day system so that a day only lasts six hours in realtime so that you get a chance to enjoy every bit of each part of the fallout day such as morning, afternoon, evening, and night.

yeah id to see a weather system in the game , driving rain howling wind etc id even go as far to agree that some snow should be added but only on a mountain top ,and as for the day night cycle most games seem to run with a 4:1 ratio on the hours , i know the areas are small in comparsion but real time might not be so bad ,would real world time zones create an issue ? :?: EAGLES MAY FLY HIGH, BUT WEASLES DONT GET svckED INTO JET ENGINES

given that most animal and plant life would be wiped out i think the world would be one giant hot dust bowl ,the water cycle would still exist but be vastly different evaporation being faster would mean violent storms are frequent . youd have similar lightning storms of those commonly seen over deserts .
to say the least the weather alone would be hostile . EAGLES MAY FLY HIGH, BUT WEASLES DONT GET svckED INTO JET ENGINES
