Weather in testing!

Higby tweeted some pics of weather effects on Amerish, showing off rain and volumetric clouds;

I want this but I expect my fps to tank.

Those clouds look awesome, I don't want any fog though

How come that all of a sudden SOE is making a crapload of new stuff like this, pushing Hossin out and whatnot?

Because PS4 is almost ready to launch...


Also I don't think it would have to impact FPS too much. As long as they make sure that the weather effects is run on the GPU or on a separate thread in the CPU it should be fine. The fps problems we are currently having is caused by a single core choking and thus slowing down the overall process.
