SSAO on or off?

[GunValkyrie]

Are you playing with SSAO on or off?

[齐天大圣]

On. Because I can run the game at 4K/60FPS.

[RiseAgain]

On, but it doesn't make much difference here.

[GunValkyrie]

Yeah I'm not worried about performance. Just curious what people think if it looks better on or off.

Ambient Occlusion is almost always a good thing, unless it's implememented poorly (Far Cry 3 had some issues).

[Seamus]

Off, because I'm rarely moving slow enough to notice subtle shadowing.

Well, from what I've read and the screenshot comparisons I've seen, the SSAO in this game is interacting incorrectly with the lighting, which isn't great. You can force HBAO+ on modern Geforce cards with NVidia Inspector, and get a nice effect, with less errors. Well, nice to me, at least. There's some video tech buffs in other threads and on NeoGAF that are currently messing around with it.

Still, I'm pretty sure the console had no form of AO at all, so if you want to stay closer to the original visuals, SSAO would be off.

I've got it on low, SSAO is one of the rare modernish graphical additions I actually like in games, none of the horrible whole screen blurring, distorting effects copied straight from film.

I have everything on just because the game runs fine with everything maxed out.

Yeah, again, its not about performance its about making it look its best. Some people think SSAO doesn't look good.

SSAO isn't visibly detracting from this game, at best it's maybe a bit too subtle to notice. It hasn't been implemented in a hamfisted over the top manner where everything has a ghostly dark outline shining like some otherworldly lovecraftian black magic.
