Noir mode, this game is made for this

[Mad-Evil-Beavis]

Wow, i´ve testetd the noir mode and i´m going crazy. This is the best graphic mode I´ve seen yet. It looks like a you are in this time period. I wonder why here is no thread for this. Amazing stuff. It looks not like only a filter. This game seems to be made for this graphic mode.

The lighting looks amazing. I´ve never seen this before.

No will drive a race in freeride mode but I can´t find the lucas bertone missions.

It looks amazing especially with the HUD minimalised. May have to do a second playthrough with this one day!

Nvidia freestyle has the option as well...

No it is not only a filter. the whole lighting is made for this. You can not create this with a filter. The global illumination all is perfect in this mode. It is a big difference between the black and whtte filter of ghost of tsushima. Looks amzing in hdr on the ps4 pro, but looks not bad without on pc. I play the game again with this mode :)

Nice screenshots. First look like photo realism.

Sorry, but I have to disagree. Robbing a game of it's colors heavily dampens the visuals and atmosphere.

I started a new game in Noir mode and have to say the score and film grain [which I used nvidia to filter out] makes it feel like a different game.

The lighting looks perfectly balanced to capture the noir film contrast and you can see that the colors were probably chosen with black and white in mind from the start. Cutscenes take on a much more cinematic feel, but some of the scripted action looks a bit too modern.

While it mostly looks great, the eye adaptation or whatever the "fake HDR" change in lighting is when travelling between bright and dark locations is where it all goes wrong and makes playing awkward, though-often whiting out the screen.

Yep I really enjoy it

Do you even know what "Noir" is?

It's an American film style popularized and defined in the late 1930s by French critics to describe American "Black" or "Dark" movies of the period, which were almost always shot in black & white and featured very high contrast lighting with low or odd camera angles to infer a sinister mood. It was a style trend.
They were also almost always gangster, detective, or "innocent person caught up in heavy situations" pieces. So, when some of us talk about this "Noir" feature, that is usually what is meant. It's not so simple as "black & white" mode.
