Thread: Why does 1.0 models look better than 2.0+ models?

They don't need to go back and redo every little thing, but with the new system requirements for 4.0 I see no reason they can't return to higher resolution textures and models other than laziness. Other online games from much smaller companies than SE look much better.

You need to put this in perspective, our graphics now are DOWNGRADES from graphics we had nearly SEVEN years ago. I don't think it's too much to ask that we get textures on par with last generation's.

And normally in game development, textures and models are created at a much higher resolution and then compressed for actual release in-game, so the dev team most likely has much higher resolution versions of everything on file already and wouldn't need to remake anything at all.
