The Graphical Update

[LianaThorne]

They didn't say anything about customization. With that there is more than just graphic limitations to deal with. I do want it, but don't think a graphic update automatically means more options.



I don't want the sweaty look, the middle is fine. Maybe a sweat slider?

Ngl, 3rd photo reminds me of the sweat/shine option some games provide now (such as BDO)...so maybe actually getting a sweat slider? O.o

Kinda gives me hope that maybe we'll get hair shine options with this.

Maybe... Every example had a rich shine on the hair. Dunno if it was just the lightning used though.

I'm kind of hyped for this, because it probably mean that finally our characters can look good under dim light.

Like, right now... I'd add a faint red lip color to my viera so he won't look just like dead-pale, and it looks good on regular lightning, but as soon as I wander into a tunnel or somewhere without a direct light source, his lips become fully darkened and with ugly eyebags too.

And here I was hoping for an upgrade to HD 2D graphics ^_^. Sprites all the way

I don't get to watch any of the streams, when is this supposed to happen?

Next expansion, the examples are supposedly from about a month of them experimenting with different options so everything is still subject to change.

They look nice, but forgive me but isn't this just different lighting and shadows? The Models still look pretty basic.

That is all that I want to see. I like my characters as they are and I don't want their appearances to change.

If they tried to upgrade the actual appearances, I would be concerned that they might move in the direction of the trailer animation, which I think makes most of the cast look less appealing than their in-game models.

That's fair, but then why is a shader that going to do a little more than what Gshade already does for me take over a year to implement?

I'd much rather they focus on a completely new engine and bring this game into the 21st century.

Goes to show you have no clue what's going on if you think it's just Gshade, they have to upgrade textures and glamours as well and they mentioned not every NPC and glam piece will get touched in the go-around.

Alrighty, so over a year, with increased cycles between patches, before they even do some of the characters and other models.
