These textures

^^ This currently drives me insane during Arkfalls. Oh, and salvage items process... ugh.

Reminds me of the horrid graphics of ME3

Because clearly pretty textures are related to fun.

Yes. Clearly

I have thought about this before, in regards to The Elder Scrolls Online. Different texture resolution wont affect gameplay between two people as far as I know. Player A has textures at 512 Player B has textures at 2048. The tree will be in the same spot, the only difference would be system resources. *This is just a guess.* Anyways, imagine if a game allowed you to select your texture resolution prior to download. I think that would be awesome for TESO as well games like this. Defiance needs to run on consoles just like Skyrim need to run on consoles. However on PC gamer could select from 512, 2048 and 4k texture downloads.

You notice that this is a multi platform game. There can(!) be nice texture resolution in online games too. Lord of the Rings Online did it, the high rez textures are even up to this date nice, i think Rift did it better (the problem there was with ever repeating ground textures, mostly noticed in the distance with huge fields) and i could name other online examples with better textures as we have in Defiance.

It is of course still playable this way, but it is one of the few things that i would wish for.

You guys are either extremely demanding, or have PC problems. I'm running at 1920x1080 with maxed settings and it all looks great - even in the cut scenes.

I think you needed to compare to Aliens: Colonial Marines, ME3's textures were actually pretty decent haha...

Mind posting some screenshots or video of your great looking cut scenes? Maybe you're right and my computer is just terrible. Though I am running similar settings

People always blame it on someone elses computer, just because that person blaming it, doesn't actually 'NOTICE' the issue.

You have no way of knowing whether anything is wrong with someone elses computer unless you start using it. So don't make assumptions.

Some people spend big money on brand new computers to run games at the highest settings available and find themselves disappointed by the lack visuals. Sure the game looks good if you use something like SweetFX it makes it even better. Fact is, there are more than just one person that sees the textures seem low resolution. They are low resolution, however it's not just low resolution textures you're seeing. Just like another poster here noted. The post-processing is also an issue, which is why SweetFX was suggested before and is often suggested for many games that users experience things like this.

I am one of those people that spent big money on a very powerful setup, specifically to play games at or beyond the ultra settings that a game can run - and find it kind of lacking. Not everyone is playing on Consoles. It makes no sense to troll, or tell us that we are whining. We have a right to be concerned because we spent money on the game. The original screenshots that I saw before betas were even available for the game, and way before launch - looked much better than we are able to see now. With that said, it makes me believe that at some point they'll provide more options in the Video settings, at least for PC if not for all. It's obvious to me that the game is capable of looking better, it just doesn't right now.

So I'll wait and see and in the mean time I'll use SweetFX and if they eventually decide that they don't want us using it, hopefully they add more options for Video settings. Because they're going to step on a lot of folks toes. You may not believe the same as me, or some others - regardless - we have a right to believe the way we want to and if you don't like it, there is nothing you can do about it - absolutely nothing. So with that said. Be respectful, don't insult people, because you know you wouldn't want to be insulted. It's pointless anyway, it solves nothing.

multiplatform, the bane of pc players aka the master race ;)

Actually the texture work is pretty good if you throw some sweetFX in the mix. Works wonderous for sharpening the textures and putting some color in the otherwise washed out world.
