Yeah. The profile generally works pretty well in darker locations but in this one it looks ridiculously oversaturated and obscures all the detail and depth of the characters. I'm not too fussed about using SFX since vanilla already looks very good but I think there are a couple of nice presets which are not as overblown. I'll probably try them out in the evening and post some screens if they're any good
The stalker series of games are still holding their own after all this time after release and 4K gives them a nice little boost.
try running Clear Sky at 4k. Let me know how you get on ha.
Yea, I mean, you used a profile that obviously highly emphasized blues and took screenshots on a scene that is predominantly blue in the first place. Nothing good was going to come of that! lolYeah.

Frankly, from what I've seen, a very slight use of Vibrance for a tad extra color saturation, combined with the inherent sharpness improvements of a 4k downsample provide about as pleasing and balanced a picture as you're going to get. Square Enix already nailed the color balance in the game. It doesn't need to be tweaked much at all. You are far more likely to over or under saturate certain color gamuts than make an improvement.
This comes down to the old 'just because you can, doesn't mean you should' rule.
The game looked bloody awful in those SFX shots, too bad I realised after posting them
This works a lot better, adds a bit of vibrance and gets rid of the slight "washiness" of vanilla without looking like Saturday Night Fever (carries a bit of a performance hit though, so I'll probably stick with vanilla in the end):
These shots still don't do FXIII justice, it looks a lot better in motion. It's simply a very pleasant game to look at and has aged tremendously well.

I've been playing Life is Strange- a fantastic game so far, if you can call it a game! The story is pretty good but it's the characters that steal the show for me

Yea, those look great. And the game looks damn next-gen at times, definitely.The game looked bloody awful in those SFX shots, too bad I realised after posting them

Love STALKER - I've almost got the exact same picture as the bottom one in real life. Walking round the Jupiter factory, I honestly felt I'd been there before.
Top one is Yanov station and will be visiting there next week

What's the game engine being used on star wars battle front.

Frostbite 3. The lighting is a bit excessive on the Drop Zone map but otherwise it looks great. The explosions in particular are very Star Warsy - lots of sparks flying etc. Shame the game is a bit ****.

Incredible sound in this game. My KEF Q300s are put to some seriously good use.

Life is Strange- potentially spoilery I guess?
