DCUO | Current State of Graphics (DEAR DEVS) 2023 | iEddy Gaming 

What else would you like to be updated in DCUO? Also, maybe if we all push devs enough, we might get a Graphic Update O.o

Making dcuo2 on UE4-5 and migrating player accounts & progress would be an absolute money printing machine. Big investment up front but they would definitely see a profit and then some after time

I quit dcuo almost 4 years ago when I realized the devs don’t actually care

A new DCUO would be awesome, I'd be happy to start a new if it means Central City, Star City, Gotham City, Metropolis and more were full-fledged out zones with missions, a larger map with more to do. So many great stories in the DCU to use too!

The only thing holding this game back is it's outdated UI and graphics. The combat will be fine with some new animations and visuals. The core gameplay is great. It just needs a serious graphics overhaul and it will easily overtake most MMO's imo. DCUO is the best MMO on the market. It's the most well rounded, user-friendly game. You can either GRIND to have BiS everything. Or you can just kind of chill and play the events if you only have a little time. The game looking so dated turns many people away, plus those of us who have been playing for 11+ years and the game by in large has remained looking the same minus the 60 FPS update on console. A 4K version with Lumen lighting would be insane. Imagine DC running on UE5.1 looking like Fortnite Chapter 4. Hands down the absolute best MMO on the market.

BDO is the living breathing example that graphics can be insane even if its an mmo.

Unfortunately the devs probably already look at those problems and the reason they never fixed them is that it is not possible or does not worth it. At the end of the day - it is what it is.

there needs to be a DCUO 2. theres no waayy it's been 13 years and we're nowhere closer to a second iteration. !!!!!

I mean Arkham Knight was on UE3 and that game still looks phenomenal. I know that wasn’t an MMO but UE3 has some pretty wild potential in the hands of developers.

YESSS DCUO 2.0 plz

I definitely agree with you and it has a lot of bugs and they need to get rid of all the people duping items and selling they for crazy amounts

I like the graphics in DCUO, but a graphics overhaul would go a long way as long as they keep the art style.

YES DCUO 2.0 and Send my toons to the new one!

If dcuo looked like a game like Arkham knight graphics wise, it would hav the biggest comeback

Mepps has stated that they would have to completely start over from scratch if they were to go to UE5. So don’t expect anything to happen. Ever.

1:40 I thought the thing on the right was a boulder covered in vines lol

Lol is that mepps with afro? All valid points 💯

All about doing the bare minimum and making money. As long as people play and spend money they will just keep the status quo :)

They need to bin dcuo and make dcuo 2

If you want more people to play, definitely upgrade the graphic, at least to UE4

hello, I would like to ask for your information, where and what is the name of the style of your head on the first doll that appears at the beginning of the video

I just want cross play on top of the the updates later this year, thank for vid oh and maybe the dcuo 2.0 don’t sound bad I’m sure it’s a lot of 💰 now trying to update one of the oldest game 2.0 is the way to go plus they’ll make that money back 💯% the player base will grow in a 2.0

It’s the only way I’ll come back to it. A complete overhaul. I need a new solid MMO to play.

I remember that battle event on the water they took away, I remember when the ships were lower to the map and you can fly on it, or a speeder would somehow find away to get that high, then I knew I did, they if they use UE5. That would be amazing. But at this point, for more money, why not re write? Or make DCUO2

They would never let us transfer accounts, not even for 2 or 300$ per account

I just want some PVP changes man like balances and stuff PLEASE NERF MENTAL

Imagine you can crash into the buildings and the ground effects with all of that while fighting. it would be lit

The devs put dark knight metal into the game. Never expected that

How to I speak directly (one on one) to the developer?

it 100% needs a Graphics overhaul

I enjoyed this game. I played since launch. Grinded met new people who were good. Had a league and merged with another and felt accomplished. I quit the game around 2014 and came back for one year in 2021-2022. I managed to get back on to current gameplay and had fun. But the graphics and gameplay is too outdated.

Just time to upgrade to a new engine

Yeah thats true, I Like how U dont ever do Things Like ppl Think that they can do DC graphics Like in GoW or so. ppl need to understand grafics in an mmo are Just Not as easy as they think bcs of the Open world system U will have so crazy lags but i agree to all your Points

I take the game for what it is. For today's standards, it's a classic game with graphics that they can only push so far to get close or fit today's standards by doing massive improvising on textures and coding. I would sooner them invest in a 2nd massive open world game with today's technology, than to push for graphical updates, but that's my two cents. I also fully understand and support people that either want this current game to look better or keep it the way it is and to focus on new content, so I hear ya guys too. Like every game, DCUO ain't perfect, far from it even. There's even old janky stuff that still never got fixed since I played the game on release, but maybe that's its charm today now. Very janky charm.

DCUO 2.0 with account transfer would be great it would be the best MMO out if that happened

The unreal engine is created by Steve from DE , Warframe

They wanna get the max $ out & invest the minimal.

Maybe Devs don't have to upgrade the full game, just make it more GPU friendly, for example, i have a Quadro k600, and old card for today standars, and only using the program configuration i can radically improve the textures, the speed of the game and the jagged issues, but i can't do anything for the shadows, why? because the shadows aren't GPU generated, but CPU Generated, so depending on your CPU and your Windows version, the shadows can slow down your game, but even crash it. On a personal note, graphics don't bother me that much, my issues are on game play, mainly with the awful targetting system and obstacles detection, i think everybody has experienced tha madening of trriying to atack an enemy but being unable because there are an small debris in fron of him, or that you are targetting a near enemy and the system decides to target an enemy who is far far away.

Graphics never bother me, but what I really want them to update are the animations, mainly the combat one, I never understood how when it was released there were more combat animations that match the weapon with the power, but now they all have the same animation. The animations really get worse over the years and if you compare Batman dodging Brother Eye in the Batcave instances and Nightwing fighting Deathstroke in the Titans episode, it's obvious how the animations have suffered a decline.

Graphics needs a slight upgrade. Really just the grounds and trees. Everything else looks fine imo.

I'm satisfied with these graphics, but one improvement I would like. one thing that makes me dissatisfied is the lack of players on the Xbox server, yes, I would like more players. if you open a discussion on the forums for graphics improvement you have my vote there

People gonna be real mad 😂….other games that have had graphical updates show little changes but we would need a engine overhaul if we want what we expect the game to eventually be

Dcuo overall as a game has so many issues. There are countless QoL things that NEED fixing and the devs ignore most of them. Then there is the blatant balance issues plus the p2w crap with artifacts and allies. Content design is lazy and recycles everything. Then there is the graphics. The #1 problem is the devs have ignored so many problems over the years that now they have piled up and they claim they could not possibly fix it all, hell can't even fix half of it. Personally I see this as laziness. Players have directly told them about countless problems and our "great" community manager ignores most of it. Instead he's worried about banning people on the forums for saying something he disagrees with. This kinda nonsense is why dcuo is the way it is. I don't believe fixing graphics issues will bring in new players. Many decisions the devs have made over the years have driven so many players away. I used to have an enormous friends list and very active league of about 50 people. For 5 years people slowly quit the game. The capsules and p2w with the artifacts drove many away. And in the last 2-3 years it's the community. It's full of rude idiot people, scammers, and speed hackers. I've been saying it for years now, when a game goes p2w this is what happens, most of the decent people/players leave and what's left is the garbage people. That is exactly what dcuo is in 2022/2023. Btw I love that still show at the end of the video. The one with the GL logo and your character. It looks awesome 👍

They should’ve used the money to create a marvel version of dcuo

I have been saying this for a while, but they devs won’t fix it. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Eddy... Did you really have to add that... Thing behind the plants😂😂😂😂😂😂

I despise how flashy powers are. Can’t see wtf is going on half the time.

meps is pocketing all the cash

If they're going to overhaul the games graphics to the point where they need to start from nothing. I would rather them make a new game that is more modernised/streamlined. I say that because the graphics are not the only dated part of this game. For example remove dated stuff like gear and gen mods. Instead add an end-game progression system like paragon from Diablo or Champion Points from ESO for example. Give me gear set bonuses instead of generic stat based gear. Make a cleaner U.I. DCUO is the game I want to love but there are too much archaic systems and P2W.

Dcuo comunnity. From toxic, hype, lazy to normal decent, polite ones. Cheers

bro playing games like Black desert i just cant play this game.. they just need to let the old engine go please

is still good to playing this game right now? im new to this game, BTW i'll play on xbox platform. thank you

I just want a game with playable speedsters

I heard Lil Ed is downloading and playing this game on his Android toaster and looks better than ps4 graphics.

We need new body types

Dear Devs I would like the Superman emblem classic and all others; we have every other classic emblem why not the classic Superman?

Por los foros a veces se escucha la leyenda urbana de que los devs no pueden hacer muchos cambios en el juego porque quienes hicieron el codigo original no estan, por eso muchas cosas no pueden ser arregladas y bla bla bla. Hacer un dcuo 2.0 seria viable, pero pienso que la cantidad de jugadores que tenemos no lo hacen atractivo, seamos realistas, el juego no tiene tanta gente como nos gustaria. solo el servidor americano de PC/PS tiene una poblacion "decente", los demas, meh, dan tristeza. Thanks Eddy, good video as always. I send you a Hug from South America.

The emotes are limited ☹️

I quit the game after 9 years because of graphics. I would gladly play 2.0 that looks like GTA V or a little worse. I loved this game and spent thousands on it. I’d gladly invest in a 2.0 version!!

Every update they release there’s bugs. Doing something big like graphics will break the game

Just to give people an understanding of the bs. Unreal Engine 3 being upgraded in dcuo bcus its old wouldn’t change a thing… Batman Arkham Knight runs on unreal engine 3. Them putting on another engine wouldnt make the game look incredible due to the art style. It would just look less rough.

I would say to back to classic designs of character, In my opinion, the modern one is worst

How about cross-platform with Playstation? That way there are tons more players 🤷🏿‍♂️

You know poeple cry about graphiqs but graphiqs goes at the cost of stuff in game guys dont forget tht grafiqs cost allot of space also look at swbf2 2017 all graphis poor offline buggy multy and so on

To be honest Im tired of this game I only log in to run daily missions then im gone For the rest of the day.

All players should go on strike

The dildo killed me lol

Ahhhh, there's the biggest content upgrade in the games history and a massive graphics overhaul coming alongside the launch of DCO to Series X and PS5 at the end of 2023. The big question is, what does this exactly entail? Years ago, porting UE3 to UE4 was hard work, but now there's entire tools that have been created literally to import assets from .upks (UE3 assets) to .uassets (UE4 assets) which make it a lot quicker to do. You also get a much more robust tool set in UE4, and porting UE4 to UE5 is something Epic intentionally made much, much easier for other versions. I'm not expecting them to make it UE5. But I wouldn't be surprised if they made the effort to get it to UE4 at least, with polished assets. PLUS, these days there are tools (for example, from nVidia) that allow you to use AI to upscale textures and in some cases even models by adding dynamic tessellation. If the team uses the right tools, it's definitely possible. But we'll have to wait and see.
