Cyborg-Rox Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) Since Excalibur Prime's PBR treatment last week, the Excalibur Proto-Armor is now the only piece of Excalibur's arsenal that doesn't have PBR. It's also the only Deluxe Skin without PBR, and the Proto-Glaive, which I guess you can call the "Deluxe Weapon skin" does have PBR. Because of all this, I think the Proto-Armor deserves to be given some priority. Our technocyte hero needs some love ;-; What do you guys think?

Circle_of_Psi Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Is it not already PBR?, same for the Nyx Skin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Excalibur Proto-Armor Skin is a year older, and DE haven't updated it with PBR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genitive Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Don't worry, everything will get PBR'd eventually. I think all the primes have new textures finally, so now the rest will get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the metallic technocyte on the Nemesis skin just looks soooo awesome, but on the Proto-Armor it looks more like polished plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronxito Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Sorry for my ignorance but.... what is PBR? xDDDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyborg-Rox Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Just now, ArionLightning said: Sorry for my ignorance but.... what is PBR? xDDDD Simply put, it's a visual upgrade on textures. With PBR comes a lot of realistic-looking materials and surfaces, whereas without PBR everything just looks like plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cydro_ Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 2 minutes ago, ArionLightning said: Sorry for my ignorance but.... what is PBR? xDDDD When textures are updated with PBR they no longer look plastic and trashy. The corpus helmet, for example, looked like lego before it got the PBR treatment, while it now looks metallic and shiny, That's not a great explanation but it should clear things up :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Alex_Traffo Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I definitely can't wait for the Proto Armor to receive the treatment. While I'm very happy that Excalibur Prime finally got some love, I have to admit I'd like to use the Proto Armor from time to time if it was PBR'd!

K0bra Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Absolutely ! The Proto Armor needs a PBR update. (Best looking Deluxe Skin of all times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh... right, didn't think of that. To be fair though, that's not available anymore, and it's only for PS4-Tenno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)EVILFLUFFMONSTER Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I would love a PBR treatment for it the proto skin. I wish there was some way to get tennogen on console - even if it was via editing stuff and transferring it from my PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that Nyx hasn't hasn't received her PBR yet unless that bottom photo is an official preview. The best way to spot a frame or weapon with PBR is the fact that you can now color the gold bits on a prime, so the photos you are showing aren't useful unless you show the color choices. All non-PBR'd frames and weapons will finally get their PBR U19. Edited May 9, 2016 by (PS4)LenKun98 PBR Nyx is extremely sexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sure, not the best example for PBR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
