DC Universe Online gets a Facelift for PS4 launch
According to DC Universe Online executive producer Larry Liberty in preparation for the games’ launch on the Play Station 4 platform DCUO will be getting a graphical overhaul and improved gameplay.
Game update 31 will bring “a sweeping, game-wide graphical update” and a “remastering” of the game’s central core levelling mechanic. It’s “without doubt the biggest technical update we have ever done”
“Most notably, the level of detail on textures will be increased throughout the game on PC and PlayStation 4, and that’s perhaps nowhere more obvious than when observing the Earth from the Watchtower.
“We have also taken the opportunity to rebuild areas like Centennial Park in Metropolis and Robinson Park in Gotham City so that the visuals there better match the story being told. And, we have corrected and improved hundreds of details in the environmental geometry throughout the game to bring a better, seamless experience to all players, and these changes will be in effect on all platforms, including the PlayStation 3.”
Eurogamer just released a before and after video showing the graphical improvements of DCUO game update 31.
