It's no secret that I have not been happy with Jagex for the past year or so. However, I believe in praising progress and this graphics touchup is definitely something to praise.
While I don't particularly think modern RS textures are very appealing (too muddy, though the texture mapping is great), the upgraded lighting, skyboxes and the addition of lush foliage has made the F2P world feel not only more
consistent
, but also prettier and more alive. That's something that I've been wanting in RS since RS3's announcement: lusher foliage. I always wanted to see the game world have more detail in it, as before, it was largely just flat textures with trees and an occasional rock or fallen log.
Now, the game world truly feels appropriately like the paradise world the elder gods tried to create.
So good job, Jagex, I dig it! Hopefully we can keep things on an upswing going forward!
