graphic update?

[Angus]

Anyone defending this game's graphics is partially or completely blind, the game is 10+ year old rubbish, it was designed for PlayStation 3 at best

It was NOT designed for the PS3. Yoshi and the team worked hard to make it PS3 compatible because SE made a promise they would support it. It worked, but it was horrible. The lag between PS3 and PC was insane. The best thing they did was stop supporting the PS3.

At the very least an OPTIONAL HD texture pack is way overdue.

If they ever do an upgrade, I hope it isn't until they end support for PS4 and the myriad of toasters people play this game on so that they aren't as hampered by low specifications. Which is to say, in several years at minimum, and well beyond when the chip shortage is finally over.

I know for a fact this game would get even more players.

This is far from true. WoW demanded better PC every expansion because they keep upgrading the graphics, a lot of people complained because they were not able to run raids, battlegrounds or even increase the view distance.

This, while mostly true, is a little deceptive in delivery. Did WoW raise system requirements when expansions came out? Yes, yes they did, but not in any sort of significant way, or in a way that would affect performance meaningfully. From 2010 until 2020 I played on the same pre-built PC, and I upgraded the graphics card once, and that was in 2014. Even before the GPU upgrade, I got relatively equivalent performance in every WoW expansion in that time frame. So this idea that WoW demanded a better PC every expansion, while strickly speaking true, is not an accurate depiction.

That falls on those people to be fair. You can't expect to run a game on a potato forever. Same goes for ps3 and 4 when the time comes

Was wondering whether the dev team has any plans to upgrade the graphics. They are very outdated and I know for a fact this game would get even more players if the graphic looked how they look in Final Fantasy 7 remake.

There was something asked a few months back think they said they prob look into it but after EW release and think it was like 6.1 or 6.2 release

Just download and use GShade in the mean time.

They could upgrade engine but make it as optional Custom. You have Ray Tracing, FSR and DLSS too. Cannot force too much graphics because this game is targeted to be more accessible. Those with high end PCs is not majority.

You want to lower polygon count even further!?. I think not, just look at this:
