Just did a quick sketch, honestly now that i see it i think you're right, a smooth curve would look a bit out of place... but i still think the current lights don't look right, it's like they tried to make them but rounded and squared, but they turned out neither of the two
I think the second one looks quite nice but would need a reshaping of the inside part as well. I'd put a sharper angle here:
I would say it's because they are tiny. The whole car is big and bold, so those squinted headlights look out of place. Though I'm not a fan of the Bastion's front end in general.
any chance we see improved particles system? have they ever mentioned it in the past? current particle system is quite awful, and its further exacerbated by the new dusty map
You should see the older particle system. It looked much better and more realistic than the current one, so clearly this is possible. I don't understand why it was changed in the first place.
you mean the one like this? honestly i don't miss that system at all, it looked very grainy and the way the effect was triggered was also pretty strange.
i wonder if we'll get a full etk remaster at some point covering each car, updating, facelifts, different variants like: a wagon/coupe for the i-series, a sedan/coupe/liftback for the 800-series, and a convertible version for the k-series, etc,
I mean, as long as the game won't be cancelled within the next 3 years or so, I'm fairly certain all cars will receive improvements sooner or later
I personally hope the I-Series is the first as its the oldest of the ETKs and the the modern ones are not very outdated in my opinion.
