Why have you guys traded metal for plastic?

I prefer the look of X3 over XR and X4. The light was harsh and had alot of contrast, like space with zero atmosphere should be. The ships all had unique designs and there were many more of them. In X4 theres little distinction between the races.

You guys seriously need to check your eyes.
X3 is UGLY for modern standards! Can it really compare to this?

You can achieve great visual in XR (I generally lower the gamma by 10% of its original ingame value)

There's no comparison when it comes to pure graphics quality - X4 is miles ahead. There are some nice ship designs in X3 though, but based on what we have seen so far from the upcoming Split DLC, that gap will diminish as well.

I agree 100% with you! X4 looks amazing and it will even more with the new DLC.

1 - this shot is nice, Springblossom looks nice,but you can see low texture, no shadows and much simplier lighting.
2 - OK I admit this one is looking good.
3 - ugly shot and ugly ship.
4 - I love Vidar, but this shot show how ugly textures are in Vidar back.
5 - horrible, especially if you compare it with X4 teladi.
6 - while Nova still looks good after so many years, Centaur is just custefuck of strange model and bad texture.
7 - Nice shot, again Springblossom aged well and it wouldn't look bad if ported back to X4.
8 - I said Nova still looks nice, but this is due to model. You can see on this picture how horrible the texture is.
9 - again nice Springblossom.
10 - Again ugly comparing to X4 Teladi.
11 - Hades looks OK
12 - honestly, if you would ask me what is more ugly - X3 Gladiator or X4 Minotaur I'd say that both are bad.
