Hi Res Texture Pack

[Riardon]

There is no need for a crazy super high res for textures. Just a more appropriate texture res should do fine. 1k or 2k textures will do really good. We already have 2k shadows and they look gorgeous and really detailed. I don't mean the game looks horrible it has some really well done and cool effects like the shadows and lighting. The textures however look really dated and hazy. Parallax looks horrible on rocks and mountains. Seems like a rushed job there. It looks nice when it's not bugging out creating that brown moving mud effect on rocks, slopes and mountains even on some corners. I can bet the reason for those horrible really super low res textures is the PS3. PS4 and PC can handle higher res without a problem. It wouldn't have bothered me if I was playing on a TV from far away but Im on PC and everything looks like crap on cutscenes and even on armors. There it's really obvious.

technical illiteracy at its best?

ps3 textures have absolutely zero to do with ps4 and/or pc textures. it's like saying the ps3 vram is affecting your pc vram.

Well, the UI limitations for the PS3 are affecting PC and PS4. Due to the lack of ram on the PS3 they couldn't add numbers to the TP party bar, and so they made it like that on every platform. That doesn't apply to textures though, I'm really curious as to what their reasoning for having these poor textures are.

None of those apply here though, the textures are created in a very high resolution and then scaled down and made ugly. They don't delete the old textures willy nilly as that would be incredibly stupid for a multitude of reasons, one being they could reuse those assets for future content (a dirt texture would have many uses I'd imagine). But if you mean that's the answer they'd give us, that's likely...

Just because they have the textures on hand, doesn't necessarily mean they can plop them into the game without any forethought.

If they include the textures into the client by default, then it would increase the client size dramatically, which may be a problem for some users.
If they make the textures an optional add-on, then they'll need to do additional validation and provide support for problems that may arise from it. (Failure to install, incomplete install, bugs...etc.)

Of course, there may be other possible factors too, but these are just a couple reasons off the top of my head.

You are half wrong and half right here. While PS3 Vram does not affect my PC's in the way you mean it there is a reason all video game makers decide to scale the graphics of a game when it is multi platform. This is to provide a visually similar experience across the platforms. All console games which are being ported to PC are the same. The visual differences are always minimal (excluding monitor resolution, fps and monitor refresh rates). So in a way PS3 affects the PS4 and PC experience. It has already been confirmed by Yoshi himself that he wants bigger scale battles with more effects and npcs but PS3 can't handle it so they design the content in order to make it run on PS3 without major problems. Same goes for graphics. So yes it affect us according to the dev.

Are they listening to us? i don't think so sadly, they didn't even bother giving us an answer here.
