How about it Blizzard? On modern hardware it probably isn’t that expensive. It might put an end to those Unreal threads.
I know your art isn’t designed with it in mind but I wager it will look just fine. Have it as a toggle-able option - maybe even with a hot key.
It would be a fresh coat of paint on the game. Everything would look less “flat”.
They don’t even have normal maps on everything, i wouldn’t hold your breath.
But i’m so sick of seeing unreal, can we use something else? Like Cryengine? That still gives us banger looking titles like KCD2.
I’m fine with lack of normal maps. Their art wasn’t designed with normal maps in mind and them going back to add normal maps to every surface is not viable.
Switching to HDR just requires a change in their shaders.
