Graphics Update In The Future?

[Kirsten_Rev]

The games was built to work on PS3. An overall graphic update almost need a whole rewamp of both server code and client code.

It wouldn't, though. There are already unofficial ways to acquire a selection of high-resolution textures on the PC - but they aren't anywhere near as comprehensive as an SE-sponsored effort would be. SE could use the engine as-is. I also seriously, seriously doubt that the server code would need to be reworked in any case; all graphics rendering is done client-side, after all.

Textures are a thing but there are all after effects to consider. And they are the real thing. We can't just update textures without some kind of lights adaptations. And if physics look weird, it could even look worst. Considering BDO and the evolution of the hardware, for sure they can do a more beautiful game... but what would be the cost?

Don't get me wrong, I wish an graphic update. I was... kinda frightened to see a gun from close range in a cinematic, honestly it was ugly. But things are faster said than done, easier said than done. And on the other hand, I somehow wish a new game to start from scratch.
