If it were up to me, this "update" should be a part of Hellgate because watching everyone run about with lowres 8bit graphics on their characters is utter fiasco for a "high res" 2009 game.
Mind you, i'm not in any way, shape or form questioning the work of the current "revival" devs, i was just
against this solution from the very first Beta when Flagship desided to take the easy way out to solve
the struggeling engine, bad code and report of low frames in stations.
I've always been of the mindset that games should have high graphics and if people don't have the hardware to support the higher setttings .... LOWER THE SETTNGS..
Players with highend PC's shouldn't have to play lowres games just because people with lowend PC's can't lower their settings in the game.
