I like Thief THIS much
Does anyone even notice the difference? Is it just masturbation over how good your PC is so you can brag about it? "Oh yeaaaah man look at how awesome my rig is it can run this game with 4K HD textures oaaaaaah!!"
Cause I don't see a difference, and I don't see the point. I actually hate overblown texture sizes as they just increase the install size of a game. Your game would usually be 20 gigs in size, but you added 4k textures and now it's 100 gigs? Fuck right off with that shit. A barely perceptible increase in texture quality is NOT worth 80 gigs of space!
Here's a comparison screenshot from two HD texture mods for Fallout 4. One is standard HD textures, and the other is super ultra 4k textures. Can you spot the difference?
I can't spot a difference. And even if I could, the difference would only be noticeable if you spend a lot of time looking at the textures very closely. Most of the time I don't look at textures very closely, I look at the environment around me, I look into the distance to see faraway dungeons I wanna explore, I frantically strafe and bunnyhop while shooting at enemies. During normal gameplay, I never come across a situation where I'd stop and marvel at how high res the textures are. In fact, texture resolution is one of the least important graphical elements of a game - stuff like LoD is much more important, for example.
At some point, you just get diminishing returns when it comes to texture sizes.
HD quality textures are already peak. They look great and smooth and even if you pinch your eyes and move your face 1 cm in front of the screen you won't be able to count the individual pixels. Increasing the texture quality even further doesn't do anything - the change isn't noticable to the human eye, and if it is, it is only barely so. Definitely not to a degree that makes the increase in hard drive space and RAM requirements worth it.
Have some more comparison shots and tell me if you would actually notice the difference during gameplay. This is a HD texture mod for Borderlands 2, a fast-paced looter shooter where you spend most of your time running and shooting. The game's pace rarely allows you to stop and smell the flowers:
If I look closely here, I do notice a minor difference.
But would I notice that difference during gameplay? No, I'd be too busy running and jumping and shooting to notice.
Here's a comparison shot from a Far Cry Primal HD texture mod:
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE??? I DON'T NOTICE A FUCKING DIFFERENCE!!
Kingdom Come Deliverance:
NO SERIOUSLY THIS IS LITERALLY THE SAME PICTURE THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE!!
NO THEY DON'T!! THEY FUCKING DON'T, BOTH SCREENSHOTS LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
