Played a couple of hours last night , visually it is very clean but I don't think it is on par with last of us 2 .

The foliage , trees and atmosphere are certainly very well presented , especially with how they flow with the wind .
A lot of fire and explosion too due to the war theme , I was completely immersed within the atmosphere of the game .

Something is off with the HDR. A lot of " pop " in the game but the moonlight , or even the moonlight reflection are far too bright in the game .
Game is making use of very dark and saturated colors , in contrast the moon is almost as bright as the sun , kinda spoiling the mood .



I like the combat system but it is not as responsive as I expect it to be , there is animation delay upon pressing the blocking button. The targetting system is wonky as well .

What I really like is the Mongolian invading Japan setting , would buy the game just for the Samurai vs Mongol warrior theme .

It doesn't mean I can manually edit the HDR metadata packed within the game , that will require a lot more than just display calibration .

You would need to either hack the game or have tool kits from the game developer .


The purposes of HDR is to mimic what human eyes can see and portray realism .

Just because it has " pop " doesn't mean it is adequate . Sometimes the effect need to remain subtle to provide immersion.

In this case, I think suckerpunch done a decent job but not nearly as matured as what we seen from the likes of Death Stranding .
Reflection from Moonlight shouldn't be so dazzlingly bright to begin with .

Yep , I don't know anything . You on the other hand , know everything . Happy yet ?


Honestly I am not even remotely interested to reply to silly thread like this .

But I am going to make an exception this time , because I have found a random idiot who knows nothing about TV is challenging me to some silly reddit response .


First of all , this guy is talking about a separate issue , where the HDR is too dark .
I , on the other hand is talking about how they made a certain object's brighness too high .
However , the overall HDR performance of the game is certainly not too bright but there are certain objects are , as pointed in my last post .


If you attempt to lower these setting in the HDR setting , it will affect the overall performance of the HDR as a whole , where the peak brightness of other objects like Sunlight and torch will also be lowered .
And to rectify this You would need access to the game HDR metadata so you can adjust the brightness value of these object separately . Directly adjusting the numbers on the HDR settings will mess up the whole experience altogether .

I was explaining things to you nicely ( from the H.E forum to here) , doesn't look like I am getting close to knocking that thick skull of yours .

Perhaps you are holding grudge because I have pointed out how absurb (and foolish) your obsession with TV settings without calibration tool are ? Or maybe you just have too much times on your hand .
Don't tell or explain to me , I don't know and certainly DGAF .



This will be my last reply to you . I simply don't have time to answer to fools .
My time is better spent on else where .
