Hello,
I'm not gonna complain too much about the fact that this is a very lazy remaster or the fact that some parts of the game ( Like audio, for example ) were not even remastered, and some others were made worse ( Textures, for example ).
Still, i understand the team working on this project isn't huge, after all, EA is EA, the others are the others.
But i still have hope, otherwise i wouldn't be here.
So my question was, can those problems be fixed, or at the very least acknowledged by the team working on the title at the moment ?
The first one being :
The first problem is with the Audi TT RS, but also with a few others cars in the game.
All related to LOD problems, i think.
For the Audi TT RS, there's a problem where the texture and normal mapping of the petrol cap disappears in-game, only the material changes.
Though the texture and normal mapping appear fine in the garage.
I would've liked to add pictures but i'm on mobile and the limit here is 3 Mb.
But also, there was a slightly bigger problem that still haven't been adressed to this day :
As far as i know, this remaster is straight up a rework of the latest-update of the PS3 port of the original game.
Evidence is everywhere, but the most problematic one has to be the textures.
A ton of environnemental textures ( Seacrest folder in the game files ) and vehicles textures were originally made in higher resolution on the original PC port of the game, including normal maps, etc ...
I wanted to know if it was in " the plans " for a future update to add these back into the remaster, as some mods ( Modifications, not moderators ) out there have already achieved this somewhat successfully.
It would be a shame to see the original game looking better than the remaster, especially considering the price of that remaster.
There may be a few other issues that i would like to talk about though :
- The first one being fixing the UV mapping on some ( If not all ) cars on the wrap editor ( While coordinates may be the same, there is, sometimes, differences in parallelism between one side of the car and the other, for example )
- Adding a " cut/copy & paste " feature to the latest wrap editor, silly but crucial
- Fixing input-delays related to online gameplay, especially using weapons online
As i know, the game is already in 2.0 at the moment and we're probably not gonna see any more improvements over time due to budget/priorities restrains, but these are very crucial to the experience, in my opinion, but also in the opinion of a lot of other people.
Any fixes or improvements regarding these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading, i hope this could work out, and i wish you a have a nice day.
