Space, the ultimate frontier. Human beings have mastered science to travel further than our species was ever meant to. The recent Artemis II mission showed us the period of time, energy, and technology needed to travel beyond the bounds of our planet. But, when you’re Kliff from Crimson Desert, you may just spam your strategy to it.
Before the most recent patch, Crimson Desert featured an exploit that allowed Kliff to fly higher and further than possible. This resulted in crossing vast portions of the map without touching the bottom and even leaving the planet’s atmosphere. Nevertheless, when you manage to achieve the stratosphere, even Pywel begins to look tiny.
A Desert Of Stars
While it might not be possible to launch Klifgf into outer space, QNDZY on Twitter shows us what it looks like. Sailing out of bounds gets you eaten by a whale, but when you manage to fly into space, you are greeted with a surprising panorama of stars, the Earth’s horizon, and even the Milky Way galaxy.
While it is not actually a sensible simulation like No Man’s Sky or Outer Wilds, the view is completely stunning. Where many games could be content with a less complicated skybox that starts breaking when you exit of bounds, Crimson Desert gives you a stunning view for making your way all the way in which into space. The video doesn’t reveal any broken textures despite the fact that it’s clearly out of bounds. It just goes to indicate how much work was put into the sport’s world.
The post also mentions realistic re-entry physics, but that wasn’t seen within the video.
But why would a game that does not feature outer space have such an in depth depiction of it? That is all due to Pearl Abyss’ proprietary BlackSpace Engine. The studio likely views the sport as a showcase for this engine, and that is probably why Crimson Desert may feel overloaded with features as well.
An in depth depiction of outer space could possibly be just yet one more feature that the devs wanted to indicate off, and it truly is something to behold.
