Rage PC patch to improve 'blurry' textures
by Alice O'Connor, Oct 17, 2011 6:15am PDTRage's "blurry" textures got you down? Fret no more, for id Software's techno-wizard John Carmack says that a new option in the next PC patch "will help alleviate" the problem.
"We have a bicubic-upsample+detail texture option for the next PC patch that will help alleviate the blurry textures in Rage," Carmack revealed on Twitter. It'll look prettier, you see.
Asked whether id would also be releasing higher-resolution textures, Carmack's reply made it look unlikely.
"Our first test of a higher res page file didn't help much, because most source textures didn't actually have any more detail," he responded.
There's no word yet on when this PC patch will arrive, nor what else might be in it.

And the list goes on and on and on. My point is that all PC gamers in my opinion want to be able to adjust these settings and want options. The whole point of playing games on a PC is that we have options and can play our games how we want.
I can play my games how ever I want its my choice not the dev or company.
If we are use a Dynamic setting feature you are basically telling the customer how they have to play the game and then its just like a console. You don't have a choice and for instance with Rage 60 FPS will be the key feature that sacrifices other things that the customer may not want or care about.
This is why I think its a terrible idea, it has no place in PC gaming.
If that is what PC gaming is going lean towards why bother, you might as well just play on on your 360 or PS3.
No this is a very bad idea, that's just my opinion, I really doubt many PC gamers would want to go this path of no choice.
