I and others have noticed this weird inconsistency regarding the new ports’ textures, where some of them are a straight improvement in detail while others look completely washed out. Take these five examples, especially the first two of the diamond plate metal and textured soil from the original games, the metal texture is non existent and the soil has lost most of its patchy artistic detail. The third one shows a clear lack of ridge and dirt on the beige metal ring. The last two aren’t terrible, but they still lack some of the finer detail.
I get that video compression can muddy things a bit, but it’s also obvious some textures have been changed for the worse. That’s what feels strange textures should be one of the most straightforward things to get right. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of upgrades here (credit where it’s due), but at the same time there are an unreasonable number of downgrades which really doesn’t make sense for something being sold at a premium price.
I HOPE that most of these are simply unfinished textures that happened to slip through the videos and are awaiting replacements before release, but I have doubts
