OTHERS DEMO - review and comparison of game graphics settings

In today's graphic review, we will look at graphic settings and their impact on picture quality in OUTRIDERS DEMO.

Let's go directly to testing.

Effect Quality. This item has 4 settings: "Low", "Medium", "High" and "Maximum". It was not possible to find a visible and visual difference between all parameters. Between "High" and "Maximum" there are minimal changes. When switching to "Medium", the effect of fog is reduced, there is a slight change in vegetation. On "Low" most of the objects are missing, the location detailing is reduced to zero.

Next Texture Quality. This item has 4 settings: "Low", "Medium", "High" and "Maximum". As you can see from the screenshots, there is no difference between "High" and "Maximum". When switching from "High" to "Medium", a change in the texture of the grass is noticeable, otherwise it is not. Between "High" and "Medium" the difference is noticeable in the detail of the rendering of water. The difference is most noticeable when switching to "Low" - the textures are blurry, fuzzy, you get a "smooth" stone.

This graphic setting was considered at different locations, you can get acquainted with the results below.

Shadow Quality. Also standard 4 parameters. The difference between "High" and "Maximum" was not noticed, there are changes, but this is the effect of the sun. When switching to "Medium", the shadow settings become more blurry. On "Low" there are no tangible changes.

This graphic setting was considered at different locations, you can get acquainted with the results below.

Smoothing. It has 4 settings: "Off", "Medium", "High" and "Maximum". The difference is clearly noticeable when switching to "Average".

Next comes Quality post-processing. This item has 4 parameters. You will feel a noticeable difference on "Low".

The quality of objects at a distance. It has 4 settings: "Low", "Medium", "High" and "Maximum". Between all the parameters, the difference is clearly visible and it increases with changing settings: the absence of stones, grass, bushes, as well as the “baldness” of trees

Go to Vegetation Quality. In section 4, the parameters are the standard quantity. Between "High" and "Maximum" the difference is clearly visible: the amount of vegetation decreases, in the game it is imperceptible. On the "Medium" a large amount of vegetation is absent. On "Low" the effect is enhanced. In the game you will not see "naked" fields.

So, let's sum up. Outriders shows promising prospects. The graphics aren't revolutionary or cinematic, but they're enjoyable. You can only find fault with a small abundance of graphics settings, but the developers have already written that some things will appear only in the release version. “Is it worth buying the game?” - definitely yes.

Outriders is currently scheduled to release on April 1st for PC, Playstation 4 | 5, as well as Xbox One and Xbox SeriesX | S.
