[suggestions] About new MAPS in 3.0 and beyond

They gave PS4 upgrade from PS3 for free. I have also heard that they are planning to make better water effects and add new HQ textures. It kinda feels that one day they will stop caring about PS3 players and I hope for that.

If I remember right, they already announced that the expansion will support the PS3, so it'll be at least a few more years before they drop PS3 support. They are working on a DirectX11 client though, which may come with higher resolution textures, but they won't be adding features to 1 client that could give that client an advantage over another client that can't support that feature.

But there still must be a way to do bigger locations. Maybe force lower details on PS3 in that loc, like no grass and clutters.

Technically the PS3 can handle large areas, but the engine for ARR might have been designed around small areas, which would make it a bit of a challenge to do large areas. Square is usually pretty good at pushing consoles to their limits though, so who know what we might see in the expansion.

i see nothing wrong with the actual size of the maps, they doesnt feel "small" at all.

I prefer cool designed zones over lots of emptyness...
