DX 11 : D

[M4Fade]

No texture resolution improvements? That's disappointing. In comparison with 1.0, there's a lot of pixilation in the details. Normal map and shader improvements would still be nice though. In the end, I just want more clarity in the details.

The other improvements should be pretty nifty. I might even log in just to check 'em out... eh, probably not.

But yeah, I've always been disappointed with the downgrade in textures from 1.0 to ARR. I supported multiple posts in Alpha and Beta pointing this out and the only responses were to "wait for DX11". Well, we're finally getting it and it's not improving textures. Sad day. :/

I am not fond of my Warrior AF's fluffy mashed-potatoes look among other things...

I hate to think that so many people are deluded when it comes this sort of stuff. Any and all revisions of DirectX are garbage in comparison to OpenGL.

Completely irrelevant. It's in direct x, the ps4 is in directx, so it's going to be directx. Any comparisons between directx and opengl are completely pointless to this game and the conversation.

Personally I'm looking forward to better lighting. It's already nice but it can be even better.

All I can hope for now is that the modding community picks up the slack since SE is incapable of actually putting any effort when it comes to texture work. Of course this is never going to be sanctioned by SE, so it will most likely be another parser situation, so if client side modifications do become possible, it's going to be a 'don't ask, don't tell' situation. Other than that all we can do is give it time, someone somewhere is working on making it possible.

I apologise, I should always play with the camera view at the farthest distance from my character and not admire anything he wears from a close angle... smh.

This is 2014 for goodness sake, am I not entitled to play a PC game that doesn't utilize in-depth textures resembling Solid Snakes face from MGS1? Bearing in mind this is Square we're talking about who're renowned for stepping it up in-terms of graphics and visuals.

The vast majority of PC users already own powerful enough rigs to be able to handle the best quality textures and anti-aliasing methods at full whack to eliminate having to use low-textures, in-fact Yoshida was quoted saying "you won’t be able to tell that it was even used."

*sigh* I forgot about the PS3 again... dat 256MB VRAM.

Hmmm. So what?

What about allow the players choice the amount of texture res?.

Low = 512
Medium = 1024
High = 2048
Very High = 4096

Dear Yoshi-p. We the players of PC spend 1000 - 2000 dolars building Gaming machines.... For have insane good graphics, for play in 1400p, 3 monitors and more.... Cursing us use 512 Res textures is really selfish of you.

My god, is that the texture resolution we are currently using? The hell is wrong with SE when it comes to the pc platform?

[necrosis]

Actually, the textures aren't getting improved at all:

This is all I really ever expected. DX11 will give ZERO graphical boost. It will only run more efficiently on DX11 hardware.

LOL go and close up the vegetation in Middle la noscea. Close up your armor and you will notice we hardly are using 1024 x 1024 textures =(.

Yoshi-p Need stop of play lighting returns and go check Crysis 3, BF4, Skyrim with HD res mod on pc xD

Well, tbh certain items in game don't really need high res textures, as many have learned with skyrim all it does it lower your fps w/ little graphical boost. I'll admit though as show with the CT armor, we need higher res armor/weapons even semi-transparent weapons would be awesome. Imagine having a sword like FF10's brotherhood that was like bubbly and water like.

Or even tinted glasses. Apparently this engine can't do tinted glasses. I'm absolutely dying to get some lenses back in my specs.
