R6 Vegas on 360 graphics

MichaelHo · 18 Jul 2007 at 20:28

Have just been playing this game online and singleplayer. The graphics seem a bit dusky (only way I can describe it), its not like sharp and clear. Is it supposed to be like this? I find it hard sometimes to spot where the enemies are when they are further away.

I'm playing on a 26" Sony HDTV connected via component.

Yes it's the 'Bloom' effect, They over done the HDR,

do you like it?
I like the game play but this 'bloom' effect just makes stuff seem unclear to me.

I think generally the graphics on Vegas are a bit poor.

I like Vegas and think it looks good, but i do think it, along with a few 360 games, suffer from the over use of HDR/Bloom effects. Also there is too much motion blur.
Dunno if devs are doing it just because they can or what.

They only did it in Vegas because they thought it would work.

The Darkness has the best HDR and Motion Blur in any game I've seen, it's beautifully subtle.

Ah yes, the darkness has a very nice feel to it..little things like the blur around a person as a train passes behind

I agree the HDR and motion blur are OTT but once you get into it you don't notice them so much.

Indeed, The Darkness is perfect.
