Blurry textures on clothes from Tuners update

[A6pukoc]

Can anyone explain why textures on new clothes are in such in low quality even if you set textures to very high? I am even talking about setting textures to low because new clothes will look really bad. 

And I checked clothes from  Casino Heist and Cayo Perico heist updates and they look normally even with textures set to medium

I’m guessing a lot of the clothing should have already been in the game for a very long time.

These new items to me have worse than usual textures.  I feel like it’s on purpose so that E&E will appear even better.

It's really inconsistent for some reason, some of the shirts have great textures but then others are just super low res. Some of the shirts even mix the two, so that one part might be sharp but another is mega blurry. Like the Lampadati hoodie, everything is a low res mess, except for the peacock logo on the right side of the shirt. I don't understand what happened there

Hoodies (all new ones) have really low-res textures... Other clothing pieces don't seem as affected.

 

Once again I highly doubt that R* will patch this in E&E or the sort, but let's see...

Why do we need 6 or 7 black hoodies that all look basically the same?

I get the impression it's something people are only noticing more now because all the stuff in the Car Meet is particularly bad, but this has been a problem to varying degrees since at least Lowriders.

 

For example, you've got leggings from I'm Not A Hipster with really crisp prints and clean lines - and that stuff was first added on PS3/Xbox 360! Or look at these examples, from Ill-Gotten Gains, where you've got crisp prints and no slop/bleed in the textures:

 

 

 

 

 

That was the last update available on the original console release - it's absolutely baffling to me that R* could put out clean textures for cross-gen updates like those, but as soon as the game was on Xbox One/PS4 only, texture quality got worse, not better (despite not having to cater to less powerful hardware).

 

Take these examples from Lowriders, Cunning Stunts, and Bikers - particularly the bleed around the shoulders in the Lowriders top, or the blurry badges on the jackets:

 

 

 

 

 

Like I say, it's been this bad for nearly six years, now - the only things that tend to buck the trend are event week t-shirts, because they're handled differently (the graphic is applied over the top of the shirt model like a decal, rather than being permanently 'painted' on it). It's the sort of thing you'd think R* would clean up with the next-gen re-release in November, but I can't help but think that whoever's making calls on this at R* seems to think that quality like the stuff above is 'good enough', so I don't have all that much faith that things are going to improve.
