I think the different meanings about NEW as in newest games and OLD graphics as in OFP1 doesnt see one thing.
1. OFP1 graphic is old but it is realistic cause of low contrast.
2. NEWest games use better graphics BUT they use too much contrast, too rich colours, what makes it unrealistic. But much more attractive to arcadish 12 year olds. No offence, they are just the biggest group of consumers in game industry. But the majority of OFP community are not from that group, because we love realism. And in my opinion BIS should use all the possibilities in new rendering possibilities, but remember of realism in all of its varieties.
