Why are all these games adding chromatic aberation this gen? Why add something to simulate an effect that is a flaw in camera lenses?
It's cheap and flashy. You should see the abuse it gets in Destiny.
To hide shit textures, low geometry and shit graphics engine of course
cheap lazy AA solution that looks ''kewl'' because it looks like a photo/film
it's a very cheap way of hiding a little more aliasing
devs who want to make their game look as "realistic" as possible go overboard with trying to simulate a camera lens (remember the bloom craze a few years ago)
it's vaguely setting-appropriate for a couple of games (alien isolation, bloodborne)
"we can do it therefore we should"
you don't have to like any of those reasons but that's mainly why
It makes things weirdly fuzzy but also sharper at the same time in a way so games look "next gen"
I cant play without a vaseline smeared screen bro

Yeah, sure. I hate fallout 4, I hate Todd, but I am not going to lie to make it sound even worse. Fallout sucks, but this is just retarded.
>>316490540
Too hide crappy textures and low poly.
Surprised FO4 isn't chromati aberration: the game.
I like it in scary games.
>>316491253
I know that feel

Look up skeuomorphisim.
It's enough that I have eye imperfections that can cause this in real life
I don't need it in games

Do you have eye conditions or something? It looks fine and you can see all the details.
>tfw bad faraway eyesight
>looks like real life chromatic aberation
>>316490540
Developers should be trying to emulate the human eye, not a camera lens, I don't get it.
>>316493165
This. By all means, this.
>>316491515
It's so hard to look at, like I can't focus on it properly
>>316493165
Why bother when all they're focused on is how it looks in press release bullshots? They want it to emulate a camera lens
>>316490540
The imperfections and flawed nature of the human condition and reality itself make for greater realism. A sterile physical environment is what 1990s graphics represented, but now we are seeing true reality for what it is.
>>316490540
Photorealism is about simulating flaws
>>316493165
The human eye is a camera lens.
>>316490540
i actually really like chromatic aberation when done right. like in Alien: Isolation
>>316493165
Why? It would only make sense in FPS games, and even then not really because your eyes would be too high to see the gun when not aiming.
IT'S A FEATURE DUDE
Your distant objects look like shit and the budget doesn't allow you to make them not shit. What would you rather do, leave them sharp and let people notice the shittiness, or hide them behind post-processing.
>>316490540
because game makers are fucking retarded and think it looks good because they all have a bug up their ass that movies get more respect
You'd be surprised how beautiful Bloodborne looks without the aberrations.
You can mostly notice it in the really bright areas in the Nightmare, near the poison pools. The bright colored rocks show whats normally covered by the filter.
>>316495071
movies do get more repesct
>>316495071
You think only game devs do it? Almost every CG artist uses it too
Literally because it's easy to implement. It could have been used to create a specific feeling for a scene but now tasteless losers have ruined it for everybody.
>>316495071
>>316495625
They do it in movies as well
>>316495625
It makes sense adding noise, grain, chromatic aberration etc in CG effects because they try to make it look like it was shot through an actual camera.
It doesn't make sense in video games because you don't play as a film camera.
>>316490762
No game. Not even in the 6th gen looked like this. Fuck off with your bullshit modifications.
>>316496070
You play every game as a camera, with the exception of first person games, and even then it's arguable that most first person shooters are seen through a camera on the character's body, since you always see your gun from a chest-high perspective
>>316496670
Yeah, I should have specified I meant FPS games.
I don't really agree with the chest height camera argument. The human eye's peripheral vision is huge, so you'd still see the gun even if you were not aiming down the sight.
>>316490540
Because muh cinematic experience.
That's why you have below 30 fps games, to simulate someone taking a video with the first phone camera ever.
>catcha
>select all cameras
It knows.
>>316493165
You do NOT want to emulate something as shit as the human eye. We have a very crappy focus, lose colors after a radius, have blind spots and so on.

Because of the plebs, they lack all sense of artistic knowledge, they are easily impressed with this type of shit.
The more shit you slap on the screen the more blur, the more glare, the more blood the more they like it, the more they ooh and ahh at it and how it looks like a movie!
Developers love it because it hides terrible textures draw distance, etc, it's an easy pass.
It's shit all around and only people who have no eye for quality like it.
>>316500794

Devs should be looking to emulate the way our brains see the the world, not how a camera does
>>316502142
Nice, I'd love to not have smooth motion and get black screens when I twitch aim (the brain cancels out information in sudden movement). Not to mention constant blur.
>>316502295

>>316496050
God, Tintin was a pretty fucking cool movie.
>>316490540
>Why add something to simulate an effect that is a flaw in camera lenses?
This thinly veiled atempt at trying to flaunt common knowledge as a little known fact.
Why do fagots like you care?
CA, just like everything else has its place in photography, just because its a flaw doesn't mean it can't be used as an effect.
As far as why they use it in videogames, the same reason they use pocket cams to record horror films these days, because flawed is more realistic than flawless.
>>316502295
But we have smooth motion. He said the way our brain sees the world.
Our brain interpates the choppy images our eyes send into smooth motion.
We don't see constantly blur because what we are looking at is always focused, everything else is blury but gets sharp when you look at it.
If you actually see things constantly blurred, choppy movement and black screens, then maybe you should visit a doctor because you might have a brain tumor affecting the connection between your eyes and the brain.
Our brain sees things far smoother than a 24 fps camera, even than a 60 fps camera. The things we look at is always sharp and the "black" screens are far less noticeable than that of cameras because we see far more information than film cameras do.
>>316491932
You might wanna see an optometrist, because having your vision that sensitive is not healthy.
Unless you're exaggerating, but you wouldn't do that for something as trivial as videogame graphics, that's just make you retarded.
>>316490540
>Those pictures
Okay, i'll bite. whats the fucking different? Ones only slightly fuzzier then the other, but it doesnt seem like a complaint or even worth mentioning.
MOTION BLUR IS SHIT
DEPTH OF FIELD IS SHIT
CHROMATIC ABERRATION IS SHIT
MORPHOLOGICAL FILTERING IS SHIT
FXAA IS SHIT
>>316503456
That's wrong, the eyes transmit smooth motion and our brain is incapable of reading all the information and simply blurs out some of the signals.
>>316503556
>not including bloom and lensflares
>>316502926
gotta agree with u my man
i didnt even know what tintin was until i saw that movie tho, not exactly a classic where i live
>>316490540
I like it
>>316493165
>Developers should be trying to emulate the human eye, not a camera lens, I don't get it.
>Developers should try to emulate a flawed visual organ that can't concieve 97% of the light spectrum, has an extremely tiny focal point, is littered with blind spots and only registers "color" with the very center of its field of vision.
You do know that like more than half the shit you see is just your brain filling in the blanks based on data it gathered while you were a baby, right?
>>316503657
No, eyes can't transmits smooth motion because different types of light receptors have different timing.
The brain can't get a smooth image, but you will see it because the brain fills in the blanks.
>>316503876
So what happens when a baby grows up with a blindfold?
>>316504048
Why don't you have a baby and find out.
>>316491963
Do you? I mean, that's the only reason I can think of as to why things like chromatic aberration, motion blur, HDR, DoF and bloom became common practice in videogames.
>>316503876
>You do know that like more than half the shit you see is just your brain filling in the blanks based on data it gathered while you were a baby, right?
If you didn't try so hard to sound smart, you would have realized that he meant that they should emulate the way the humans see it, as in, the way we perceive it and not simulate the physical side of it.
You would also realize that a camera is far more flawed than the human visual system.
>>316504234
>If you didn't try so hard to sound smart
It only looks hard because you're a fucking idiot. Not to mention the irony of your post is palpable.
He also specifically said to emulate human eye, he's a fucking retard so what he "meant" doesn't mean shit, just like you're an absolute fucking retard trying to flaunt intelligence you clearly don't posses, you also forgot to tip your fedora, faggot.
>>316493165
they are though, considering the game is designed to run below 30 fps, which is the limit the human eye can see.
>>316504660
Human eyes can only see 12 fps, that's why movies are 24 fps. When you look with both eyes, you see 2 times 12 fps.
>>316505235
>Human eyes can only see 12 fps
>>316505350
But that's true.
Why do you think all the sub 30 fps console games look so cinematic? Because they are made to fit the human eye.
Everything over 24 fps has wasteful frames and that will be skipped and you lose information making them look less real and too gamy unlike movies in real life that are seen in 24 fps.
Do you even human anatomy?
>>316503742
If you lived in America (like me and many others on here, I'm sure.) There's a good chance you didn't know who Tintin was. I only learned about him because one of my friend's parent's had a collection of the comics when I was in highschool.
>>316490540
>Why add something to simulate an effect that is a flaw in camera lenses?
What, it happens with your eyes too in certain situations, or at least a similar phenomena does.

It's the new garbage fad filter after last gen's BLOOM ERRYWHUR stupidity is all. The way I've all but been guaranteed to have to dig deep into .ini files, unofficial patches, or post-processing handlers to remove eye-searing, absolutely fucking worthless visual effects since ~2008 is enough to make you slap your granny.
>>316494880
What happens if you wear the red/blue 3d glasses?
>>316493165
"Emulate the human eye"? We already have eyes, and we're looking through them.
Your TV screen is like a window. Your TV screen isn't and can't be VR.
>>316499746
Blurring everything but the centre of the screen would be blurring the everything but centre of the screen. Nothing else.
Like a painting, your TV is a piece of imagery. You can look at different parts of it. If a part of the screen is blurred, I can still be directly looking at this part of the screen, except it will be actively preventing me from seeing what's there. This is obviously bad for gameplay.
>>316508832
Also because you're looking at a screen, everything will obviously be smaller than reality, meaning "more"(Because everything is smaller) will be in your focus point at once. Though this does vary by the size of your screen and the FOV of the game. This links in to why your TV isn't VR, but more a window, to another world, if you will.
