I am sure they use better textures in those videos, but also ingame. As Asura, my camera is very, very low, because I mostly look over my Asura’s shoulder, and thus I see a lot of stretched (read as: Blurred) textures, sometimes the map developers screwed up (assigning one texture to a rock e.g. but instead of looping, it is used one time but stretched over 50m²), but mostly the textures look way, way better in HoT.
I wonder what the limits are for the engine. As former GTX970 owner, I had to watch the VRAM usage to avoid the bad 3.5 GByte limit, and we never came anywhere close to 50%. Now I have 8 GByte VRAM and I wonder for what exactly… Switching texture quality back and forth doesn’t really impact anything..
I am sure they could and would use better textures, but let’s be honest: Nobody really cares that much about those, even though I agree that we should/could a step forward in that matter.
