Updated benchmark

Very aware. Which is why I thought it strange that you described something that is different in such glowing terms, while describing something else that is different with such dissatisfaction.

No statement about your dissatisfaction--THAT I understand. It was the glowing description of something else which was clearly different that made me scratch my head.

The fun part is that we can also be very dissatisfied with the change to the shape of our characters faces and be excited for and appreciate the other changes. It isn't mutually exclusive.

Yeah for sure. I haven't been growing attached to and staring at the couch fabric for 5 years in cut scenes and gpose so I don't notice or care much about how they update it. If plants and stones look good they look good. My own characters face is a different story. Faces didn't get the attention to detail they should have imo.

Just saying, sometimes the background team drops the ball really hard, in both directions.


I would much rather have the better graphical fidelity, but I remember 1.0 and I remember the 5-10fps some places of the game would have, the lack of the hardware mouse cursor, the much nicer looking models... oh wait.

Actual screenshot from 2010:


Sometimes you can go "yeah, that looked better" and then turn around and realize how empty the area is because of it. Because that is what a lot of 1.0, copy-paste topology to either save memory or abject laziness. "PS3" limitations also meant a lot of creative reuse.

What I hope is that most of the "ARR" and HW areas get revamped with higher quality textures, and also various places where they dropped the ball like Hein's outfit stops being a thing.
