The latest version includes a makeover for 2B. The added detail and contrast does still make it look difference but if you don't mind that and want a relatively pure yet crisper look, this seems a good'un. 'My goal is to provide a natural restoration to the low-res textures, maintaining the intended look,' GPUnity says. Concrete has the same cracks in the same places, the same rust patterns splatter metal, but there's more fine detail.
Like the remarkable Resident Evil 4 HD Project, GPUnity's pack tries to replace Nier's blurrier textures with new ones that look like more-detail versions of the same surface. Here, check out this original/new comparison video. If you are the sort of person who'd rather play Platinum's action-RPG retouched, creator 'GPUnity' released a big new version yesterday, bringing it a lot closer to done. I tend not to use 'HD texture packs', partially because so many are oversharp messes or wildly change the tone and partially because I've become a hoary purist who insists that Quake should be played without texture smoothing, but this looks pretty deece. The ruins and couture of Nier: Automata are looking mighty swish in a high-resolution texture pack mod, and without losing their character.
