The Graphical Update

[Izar_Chillen]

Sorry but this so called update is a sick joke if that on screens is all what they have to offer. All i see is that they added a Darker Background an put some dirt on all of the character Faces. Yea the hair looks a bit darker, but thats thanks to the background and overall darker lightning of the images on the right side. The biggest joke is the miquote face, there is like no change at all if you would put both pictures on the same brightness level.

Ok they look a bit sharper which is nice but that change is also not that big if you are using 4k resolution

At least for us PC players there is already an option available since years that has just a minimal performance impact (depends on the settings) and looks way better that what they are trying to achieve even with the worst preset. If they really want to know how this game could like (since over 5 years) they should take a closer look at one of the dozens awesome reshade presets for this game and add the necessary settings and filters.









just a quick few examples that i had still on my HD of what is already possible with just a little effort. This game can really look amazing with the right filters, at least for PC users.

I use Nvidia Game filter for a more subtle colour and lightning tweak and yes i agree a little tweaks can make the game look amazing



for example:

Default game

This looks a lot better than the previous example. A small colour and contrast bump is all the game needs from that department.

This one actually looks pretty good. How simple is it to do?

I use it as well and it's extremely simple, once it's enabled all you have to do is press Alt+F3 when the game has launched to bring up the menu and choose whatever options you want and play with the sliders to make it as subtle or pronounced as you like.

Only issue I have sometimes is my preset disappears after updates, but I only use 2 filters to alter the colours and sharpness slightly so it's not too bad to re-do.

It's called Nvidia Freestyle if you want to look into it more.

For some reason it says the game isn't supported... even thought it clearly is.

Unfortunately You have to redo the settings after every update. It dumps the save file for it every update. Mines a little more involved as I have 4 filters going. I found a YouTube video about Gshade Vs. Nvidia Freestyle and they guy went through his settings in Freestyle that gave him a suitable substitute to the really nice looking Gshade mod. I mirrored his settings and I think it looks great. Nice and vibrant with no where near as close to the performance hit Gshade can sometimes do. These are my settings if you want to give it a try:

He said the order of the categories matters too (kind of like mod loading order)

Tint Color 40%
Tint Intensity 8%

Vibrance24
