DavidinNorwayHD Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 So, this is a little bit of a nitpicky, maybe even weird, thing to start a discussion about, but it is something I think could be worth to see changed in the game at one point. For quite a while now Hinterland has used an updated version of textures for rocks/mountains for new regions for quite a while now, which looks, for the most part, amazing! In fact, it looks so good that the old texture looks like they were photoshopped back in the 90's lol. It is especially telling in spots where you can see both versions, and the new texture is without a doubt the superior version. They looks so different that it kind of looks... ''ugly'' at these spots where they are blended together, which made me think a little bit. A lot of regions still uses the old texture, which is somewhat of a shame. I think it would be really nice to think about maybe updating those regions with the new texture at some point, so that every region has more consistency. It is a small detail, and something probably most people don't even care about, or even notices, but I like to think about the small details in games. Are there anyone who share a similar opinion, or do you not care at all? Would be interested to hear. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hozz1235 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Agreed it does look odd when they're put together; although, tbh, I don't mind the old textures...guess for nostalgia reasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenity Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Higher resolution textures in general are something I'm hoping for with that promised graphical update. There are a lot of things that don't look good up close. Inside buildings too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The graphical improvements we have gotten so far has mostly been tied with new content, instead of updating what is already in the game. I do like new improvements, though I wished they focused more on higher resolution textures as well. As of now, only a few things has been upgraded with better textures, like meat. I hope that we'll see a bit more upgraded textures within the last two updates of the DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeanda Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 If I'm honest I prefer the older style, it's not as harsh.. sometimes simpler is better.. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanna Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I far prefer the bluer colour of the older style, I can't say I'e noticed a difference in quality, I obviously don't care about that lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conanjaguar Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I think the new style is rather jarring if I’m going to be honest… it just seems so out of place with the rest of the TLD’s textures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The style of the game comes largely from the water color look and the lighting. It's possible to keep that and update the resolution a bit. People aren't asking for realism here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeanda Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 The new look is more realistic... And it's that that I feel doesn't go with the rest of the textures... I'm also not a fan of the new frozen carcass look for the same reason.... It's the original artwork that makes this game so much more unique and beautiful... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranium Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I like the newer textures better, honestly. I think they balanced "realism" with "TLD style" pretty much perfectly. An update to the older texture areas would be nice... but certainly not on my top 5 list, so no biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarrowStone Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) I always interpreted it as different kinds of rock. Makes the regions look a tiny bit different from each other. I like the "newest stone" to be honest. The purple rock looks pretty messy when you see lots of it, especially from a distance. Real OGs remember when the rock was just a black charcoal. I kinda miss that rock. Edited July 26 by MarrowStone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Feng Hunter Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 I’ve thought this too. Coastal Highway and Mystery Lake look so tired now. Time for a facelift. Random continuity note: It’d be EXCELLENT if a tiny train platform could be added just outside the Camp Office. For immersion sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
