It's 2019... isn't it about time some warframe skins got updated?

[Geraaltix]

With all of the graphical overhauls the game has gotten recently, I'm disappointed that some things seem to be entirely put aside and forgotten. Specifically PBR on certain older warframes. It feels very much like there are no plans to ever address this. For consideration, here are some reminders.

Starting in alphabetical order, here is Ash with som recoloring done, compared to his much more high quality textured Prime model:

Spoiler

Everyone's favorite firebirb, Ember. Basic, immortal, and alt helmets compared to Kaiceps's Ignition skin:

Spoiler

Excalibur Immortal, compared to basic Excalibur:

Spoiler

Compare basic Mirage, recolored, to basic Mirage wearing the recently released immortal skin. Note that Mirage escaped the updating of the basic skin when her Prime variant released, as did Zephyr, breaking the precedent set by the release of Banshee, Oberon, and Hydroid Primes (Time constraints? Lack of resources? Just plain forgetfulness?):

Spoiler

Compare Basic Nekros, Nekros Immortal, and his alt helmets:

Spoiler

Basic Nova hasn't escaped scrutiny, either. Compare normal skin, immortal skin, and alt helmets to Prosetisen's Device skin:

Spoiler

Resident mindbreaker Nyx, with alt helms, normal skin, and immortal skin compared to Erneix's Ascophilia skin:

Spoiler

Rhino, one of the most common beginner warframes. Note the distinct lack of light blue in the original skin, there is no accent color represented there. Compare to Vulbjorn's Mastodon skin:

Spoiler

Because I don't have Trinity to show her in recolored form, here is a simple reminder that she too has not been given the update:

Spoiler

Vauban, the engineer, comparing basic, immortal, and all alt helmets to Faven's Graxx skin:

Spoiler

Everyone's favorite target for lore scrutiny, Valkyr. Basic skin, immortal skin, and alt helms, compared to Gersemi Valkyr:

Spoiler

The forgotten birb, Zephyr, in all her basic and alt helm glory, compared to immortal skin (note the difference in quality between immortal skin and basic helmet):

Spoiler

Banshee's shoulder armor was missed in her PBR update. This is harder to see, but easy to see in this image:

Spoiler

Special skin bonus round! Rhino Rubedo, Vauban Phased, and Mirage Winter skins:

Spoiler

Sentinel bonus round, because why not. Basic Carrier, Helios, Diriga, Djinn, Shade, and Wyrm:
