TwwIX Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 The "depth of field" in this is a real strain on the eyes and i am seeing complain threads popping up on several other gaming forums.Everything seems to be covered in a blurry fuzz. And not just far off distant objects. I have no problems with any of my other 360 games. I've tried several resolutions on my 19" wide screen LCD but it's still there. They should've added an option to disable the blur.I don't care about the visuals as long as it's not distracting the crap out of me.

GadgetUK Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I find this annoying as well. It's almost like they put x32 AA on or something... Overall I am very pleased with the game but I am finding that I get eye strain playing this game, the first game I have ever had eye strain playing in 20 years of gaming! I wonder if they can fix this in a patch, I would rather have distant objects pop in and be able to disable or lower the blur effect. Funnily enough, the only other game that has caused me problems briefly was GTA III on the PC, the 'trails' effect had to be switched off before I can see everything properly. Mass Effect gave users the option to disable the 'noise' effect, please R* give us a couple of options on the menu to disable / lower blur effect.

OzzySM12 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I quite like how they have distant objects blurry instead of popping in and out or that daft fog from the other games. However the only thing that gets me is the shadows, just makes things really quite fuzzy. Though other than that I could not be happier with the game... just rubbish i need to go to work now insted of playing it . Got a week off next week though he he.

doa kappatango Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hmm, I did think It was just my eyes after I had new glasses at the end of last year. I like the way the visuals look, but now I wonder if that why my eyes are generally tired an blurry after 4 or so hours....

ds4599 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Yes I also have the blurry shadows that cause a great deal of eye strain too. Rockstar make us a patch to turn it off/on. Never had glasses or contacts in my life. If I keep playing this I may need to take a trip to the eye doctor. PATCH IT QUICK!!!!!!

Darkmatterx76 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 The blur is horrible. Not only is it WAY to much in the distance, it also starts way to close to the foreground. You can see it on the main character and he's usually one of the closest things to the screen! If I wanted to play a game with that much fuzz and blur I would take my glasses off before I play. They need to push it back more to the background and tone it down by about 50% to make it bareable. If they CAN'T do that because making the blur that bad was the only way to get a decent FPS then they should have realized that they needed to lower the poly or object count and texture res instead of throwing on this stupid band-aid fix that looks horrible.

MIND BULL3TS Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 All you fools are WACK! The Blur is there to help performance... I personally think it adds a kind of artistic feel to the environment. I think this game visually, when the size and density of it all is taken into consideration, is phenomenal!

BigNinaRoss Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I definately agree with Ozzy. I would definately take the blur over haulin' a$$ down a street full of legos! It's super sweet! I guess there will always be something some folks will complain about though.

LanceUppercut Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I love this game but I hate the blur, looks like I'm playing while looking through a foggy window! We need an option to turn off the blur!

AdZ767 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) I just wrote about a test you can try for this prob on this thread http://www.gtaforums.com/index.phpshowtopic=335782 Basically try switching to 576p and see if you get less blur. I dont own the 360 version but this seems to make the PS3 version look less blurry, but i end up with a few more jaggies (catch22) Anyway I dont think the blurry effect is for performance increase, its more like its there to hide all the jaggies. Try what i mentioned and post back what you found.
