I guess it's not necessary per se, but if they want to essentially re-launch the game it would certainly help them out IMO. weapon meshes might be more important though, and new textures for the VAS series at least, lol. (Pls gib stop-gap solution. . . T~T)

I really wouldn't say it doesn't need to, lol. As someone in the APB render community you should realize just how horribly low poly APB models are at this point. Sure, the game functions with the current meshes, but if they want a new audience they really need better models on characters, and preferably guns as well. True, but an option to up character textures sizes, even with the same source texture sizes, would arguably be preferable. I do "love" when I need to add gradients to simulate AA on cars though, lol. (I actually don't know why it works, because it doesn't look quite like AA, but it makes lines look better. . . so whatever.)

I see people telling people how to choose districts all the time, lol.

I will agree at the very least that higher texture resolution is one of the few things I really want graphics-wise, but it'd probably be a lot of work to redo all the textures.

I don't think this was ever even hinted at as a feature. It would be nice, but I'm not sure where you're getting this from. Several people including Ghost and myself have already discussed the game looking worse. Similarly some negative gameplay changes have been discussed, such as wheelies being removed. Gees.

Boy do I hope they bring back wheelies.

Shotguns don't have range ATM, so there's no way you could justify choosing to reduce spread except maybe on the NFAS or Strife.

What we need is custom LUTs.

Hmm. . . Sandford Baylan Logistics Import/Export's nuclear lighting in one hallway comes to mind. Please tell me that's still there, lol. "Best" part of the console release. What about the Grand Warf PDSP railing? (Inside the North side of the building. . . not as much the building as the weird concrete semi-walls under the catwalk thingies.) Can't remember if I ever reported that glitch for the console release or just thought about it. Though there were tons of issues with fences and railings overall IIRC.

Since it's based off of the console build we can basically assume there are.

Yeah, let's take the APB that had a great art direction and replace it with the one made when G1 had no artists. Great idea. I don't overly mind changing the color coding, but changing nearly every grey brick building into red bricks is fucking awful. Not to mention console social is fucking hideous. The textures weren't reworked, they were replaced with shit.

Only thing I want to know is if you're going to work on making the city not look like a box of crayons? Lol. I'm not talking about the color coding, I'm talking about the texture edits.

While this is possible and not that hard for most people, the sentiment and ease of use are not necessarily the same. . . . not to mention it doesn't increase your loyalty reward counter.

No, you don't get to get those, and I don't get to get the /cry emote I was sitting on.

I can only hope that eventually they program such a system. . . but we'll see.

IIRC Lixil said something about it coming back when we colonize Mars? So go call up Elon Musk to get an estimate I guess.

^^^^

I don't either, but LO made their choice, lol.

That has nothing to do with not having any new content at all. Lol.

Fair point. You need to work on that.

I feel like there's some innuendo or something I don't understand here, and I'm scared.

I didn't say that people bind macros to LMB, but a crutch is a crutch, and it will gimp you in the end. Sure, they can give short-term benefit, but ultimately they'll limit your growth and even cause atrophy, and in the case of macros for an ultimately minute benefit.

I mean, they're generally pretty clear about that, aren't they?

At the very least they need to unlock the ability to purchase any gun you bought from ARMAS from contacts. I've suggested this for years, and AFAIK it would be the simplest and most effective solution to this problem, but for some reason G1 won't bite.
