Fire, smoke, motion blur and bloom effects are ugly as hell in E&E.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

 

Is there anyone here who unironically thinks this looks good? Dude, I've never seen anyone say "Oh my gosh, look at these beautiful anamorphic lens flares" or "Oh my god, I wish there were more anamorphic lens effects in this game"... or just "I'm definitely not annoyed by these anamorphic lens flares".  

 

I mean, cool, the shadows are a bit better now because at times they look more accurate and the cube mapping is less noticeable but the fire, smoke, motion blur and added bloom effects are just downright f*cking ugly and unnecessary. I can't wait until this version comes out to PC so I can replace said effects.

 

Which idiotic designer thought it would be a great idea to add annoying bloom to the muzzle flash?

What is this? Why? Why? Why? As if there wasn't enough goddamn bloom in your game already Ridiculous, it literally hurts my eyes. 

 

Guess I'm back to the good old PS3/XB360 and PC. At least on PC I can just add a .ymt file that removes all this useless sh*t.

 

 

I hope GTA6 never comes out. You know why? Because it'll be graphically/visually underwhelming, the story missions will be cut short and the whole game is gonna focus on the online component.

The end result of high turnover rate at Rockstar. I guarantee you the guy who made this art decision was not there during the game's actual development in 2012. Just some newly hired underpaid bloke who wanted to check a box on a list of supposed enhancements. A shame I have to hook up a console from 2006 just to play the game the original team intended.

I think it depends on the person.

 

For example, in my case, I've always loved the "lens flare effect", the "chromatic aberration", "motion blur", "film grain"... and effects like that.

Yes, looks like a 10 years old mod for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

I understand your frustration regarding said changes, but don't use this anger as a excuse to talk crap too.

Espero que GTA6 nunca saia. Você sabe porque? Porque será graficamente/visualmente decepcionante, pois as missões da história serão interrompidas e todo o jogo se concentrará no componente online.

relax, no one needs to run out of gta 6 just because of this frustration.

I think these new effects make it look much better than the PS4/PC versions. I like the motion blur in particular and I think bloom adds some cinematic flair. The PS4/PC versions always looked very 'flat'. Bland. 

 

Regardless, the overall look of the game on old gen (PS3/360) is still the best as it captures that original atmosphere much better than any re-release (it’s similar to the PS2 version of San Andreas which also became notable for its unique atmosphere).

Haven´t seen the new version myself. just on some Yt videos and I don´t like the new smoke effect. Looks like some kind of moving photoshop smoke.

I honestly thought this was the best part of E&E. Haven't played the game though and I don't plan to.

It looks 500% better than it did on xbox 1.

The game is actually extremely impressive for an xbox 360 title. 

RDR2 blows it away in every way, of course, so GTA 6 should be even better.

Played for a couple of hours the free online version and I think the new glass particles look worse

Lol and reminder that this is LITERALLY the only thing they changed, unless you count the added bugs.

I knew it, I knew that E&E would be a buggy mess

 

Although it's surprisingly playable...

Same.

 

This is also just a B&M topic.

The only problem to playing the original version made by the original team is that the online component that works on singleplayer are now off, so nothing about access BASWAQ stocks or take a simple picture on your character's cellphone

No, I meant to say that that was a B&M post in there, as in, it should be in the B&M thread.

Isnt this overhaul made by Jar Jar Abrams with some touch of Michael Bay explosive action?

More lens flare than Star Trek 09 & The f*cking Force Awakens combined. Did they replace Dan Houser with JJ Abrams to work on E&E

I think the PS4 version is the most definitive. It had most if not all of the original designers, and has the first person and other major additions that sort of fulfill the complete vision of the game in my mind
