Snake is... blurry?

[Aratrash]

Am I the only one bothered by this? I am playing on Extra High. I just find it weird that Snake seem... blurred out. Is it intentional?

Screenshot?

you should be more concerned with snake appearing on your screen! Thats a major glitch...is he off to the side or right on top of Big Boss?

Yea I noticed this too. I dont know if it has something to do with depth of field or what but its pretty annoying

Ahahah...

To me he just always looks out-of-focus. Maybe it's made that way.

You should turn off the Screen Filtering option or at least turn it way down, it adds effects like depth of field and motion blur that make everything look like that. It's just especially noticeable on Snake because he's the player character and you're always looking at him.
Also, you should turn off SSAO. It adds an ugly-looking black aura around all objects in the game and it's especially noticeable on Snake.

You know that during the snake eater mission big boss code name was Naked SNAKE and after that he asked people to keep calling him Snake right????

Sounds a lot like if this is your first metal gear ;3

As far as I can tell, the "Extra High" Screen Filtering setting enables the Nvidia Gameworks settings. Nvidia Blur, Nvidia Water reflections etc.
I think that the "High" settings are the same effects used for the PS4 version. I would argue that these settings look much better. A less blurry snake.

Im not sure why he is still going by snake in this game

at the end of peace walker he said he was going to use the big boss name?

[Mr. Horse]

turn fitlers down to low or off, it removes the depth of field effect that blurs snake.

[Sticky White Stuff]

You only need to turn it down to High. Extra High does that.

Why don't people understand the basics of DoF? Your camera focus is almost always somewhere beyond Snake, that's why he's blurred.

Yeah but he's blurred in a dumb, crappy looking way. It's clearly not working as intended, and perhaps due to the Bokeh filter which is only present in the PC version AFAIK

[v1ru5]

Kanaev is correct, he is meant to be blurred when he is prone or crouching, and not blurred when he is standing, as your focus should be more on your surrounding and not Big Boss.

You are aware the the blurry thing was intentional? Like when you use the binoculars you'll lose focus on some things and they'll become blurry like a real human vision.

I think Kojima wants "Snake" to always be the main character of the series, he becomes Big Boss at the end of Snake Eater, but he's still going by Snake in Peace Walker, then after defeating Peace Walker he embraces the title Big Boss, but then at the start of Ground Zeroes it says Snake used to go by Big Boss. Is The Phantom Pain going to end with Snake telling everyone to call him Big Boss?
