I changed the brightness i think up 1 or 2 and the contrast up 1 or 2 and i like the way that looks better personally. Now when its night and im in an alley or something it doesn't look like im in a black hole.

Yeah the first city is pretty dark, and most of the city has bridges or highways over the city roads so its dark even in the day time.

What I did with the graphics controls is to set it at:

Brightness

|||||||

 

Contrast

|||||||||||||||||||| (full)

 

Saturation

|||||||

 

Roughly like that. I know they may look a bit crazy, but it works.

 

It seems in this game, contrast works in reverse. The higher you put it, the more "soft" things look, and it accents shadows and dark areas... so just raise contrast to bring out the shadows, and bring the brightness down to reduce the glare of the highlights

 

It helps massively at night, and dare I say it, improves the framerate somewhat

 

Having the saturation low also gives the graphics a more realistic tone

 

EDIT:

Please remember this is personal preference, but if you want more definition at nighttime, use these settings and tweak slightly to your own TV settings

Yeah. But once I screwed around with the display settings I didn't have a problem.

Exactly the same here, I saw no stairs at the back at all!

 

Turned Brightness and Contrast up to max, looks much better now.

I've been having the same problem. I'm visually impaired (with night blindness), so it doesn't help. I'm still on the mission where you have to save Roman, fighting those two guys and having to chase the other guy in the car. It took me forever to get to the point where he got out of the car, and after that, I couldn't even find him, and I kept falling into the water and not been able to find my way out.

When I first played the game I will like ehh so dark and the graphics arn't that good. Well I jacked up the brightness and contrast and now the game is AMAZING. It actually make the textures better.
