One thing that caught my eye was the graphical beauty this game had during the early trailers. We have gotten a few updates on graphical display settings throughout the lifetime of the game. My question is, do you all think Rare will ever increase the particle effect option up to mystical in the future? Would it be possible for them to add ray tracing? and increase the overall detail in distant and close objects? Perhaps even add new objects or particles?
One of the previous arguments to increasing graphical fidelity of the game was the PC vs xbox hardware and software strength/limitation differences would have a significant effect in gameplay and player balance. However, both systems have seen new iterations or upgrades to their technology so this argument might have lost some value in this respect.
Some new suggested graphical objects might be new or increased sparks, increased light glow/ bloom at night., fireflies, flies, increased vegetation, shadows, etc.
On YouTube you can find the difference between the trailer and the game's graphical quality which I have taken the liberty of posting below. Although it's a fairly old video, I believe many of my points/ suggestions still stand
