• First step after installing a new game: disable Chromatic aberration, lens flare, film grain, motion blur.
    Also:
    Set FOV to something more inline with my screen and position.
    Shitty console ports have this locked in, usually to a very low value that might make sense when you play from the couch but too low when playing in another setup.

      I don’t understand why these games keep including “movie like” features. They’re video games, not movies.

        Even in movies they don’t want those things, you know how expensive true apochromatic lenses are? Meanwhile games are adding lens defects in. -_-

      It’s getting better.

      I got a PS5 as my first console in over a decade and most new PS5 games have the options you listed

      There’s still older ones tho where theres literally just a single toggle or not even that.

        Jesus that far too many. I hadn’t really played any AC until AC3 either but last year I got like black flag for cheap on the switch and it wasn’t bad.

      There are effects, like lens flare, shallow focus planes, vignetting, even color misrepresentations, that were kind of side effects of the physics of photography, that have grown into creative tools people deliberately chose for stylistic reasons.

      Has anyone with a camera ever deliberately wanted a lens to have chromatic aberration?

        You said it yourself: these are creative tools people deliberately choose for stylistic reasons. I have a couple junk lenses I use specifically because they have chromatic aberration and other imperfections.

        Photography, however, is a very different beast than video games. I will never use chromatic aberration or film grain in a game, despite enjoying those effects in photos.

        I mean for some stylistic movies I think yea, fear and loathing in Las Vegas amps it up during the ether binge if I remember right.

        But it’s not something you should try to emulate in games any more than film grain or something. And it has no place in anything about ancient Egypt.

        Only the shallow arty-farty wannabe types, as far as I know. Meanwhile the rest of us spend thousands of dollars trying to remove such effects in our photos.
