No HDR support... in 2022

[Sir_Coleslaw]

Why do all new horror games always come out without HDR support? These games in particular would benefit immensely from HDR. Now I have to work with retrofit HDR again. RE8 had HDR, and a very good one at that, which really added to the atmosphere, and really came across great on an OLED. What's the point of the brave new OLED world if you can't use it to its full potential because many new 2022 games don't have HDR support.

So my question to the developers, will HDR support be patched in?

Well at least it's obvious you're trolling. I've played on HDR10 and HDR1000 displays with a minimum of 600-1000nits and the difference is not even worth to be mentioned.

60 to 120hz on the other hand is a game changer.

What an odd thing to lie about.

It's content specific. The unfortunate fact is that it's often up to the developers to implement it well for it to look good. Some games say that use HDR as a feature but it's fake HDR, such as the initial implementation of HDR in RDR 2 on PC.

Also, it's not just about measured nits but perceived contrast. You can only get the infinite contrast effect with OLED. Which is why HDR looks so good on OLED despite not being nearly as bright.

Special K HDR works pretty well on my LG tv, no performance loss whatsoever. But game will crash with exclusive fullscreen, run the game once and set windowed fullscreen before injection.

What Special K settings did you use to achieve this?

How dissatisfied can you be with your own life that you have to attack a statement like that. If you don't like it, that's fine, but the general claim that HDR only turns black to gray is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Treat yourself to some proper HDR on a proper OLED display and maybe you'll understand me.

I guess you only know HDR from monitors/televisions with conventional backlighting. Take a look at HDR on an OLED, then you'll understand what HDR was made for.

Stop spreading your nonsense and BS, buddy.
I own a QE85QN800B with HDR, HDR10 and HDR10+ and a AW3423DW for my PC.
It looks MEH, alrighty ?. MEH

Comparing HDR to something like changing from 60hz to 120hz is a joke. Alright? People will laugh about this comparison.
Raytracing on the other hand is something worth to try and its definitely recognizable but HDR?....

So enough of your "drama". Relax and gtfo

Wow. As everyone else has said, you really have no clue what you are talking about. HDR is amazing, and if you can't see it, you need some glasses buddy.

I swear the game is running 4k HDR on my LG C1 OLED. looks amazing and vibrant on max settings. Windows says auto HDR is on

I don't have Windows 11 installed but my buddy says the auto HDR doesn't work on this one. Having said that, auto HDR isn't magic and if it's not helping IQ - then it's more likely hurting it.

Performance isn't terrible at all. It's arguably the best thing about the game. It's not a demanding game in the slightest.

If you don't mind Special K, you can use it for HDR
This game is beautiful in HDR mode.
this is result, plz open it in HDR mode

If your black looks like gray in HDR, you're doing something very very wrong.

Yes, Reshade has an AutoHDR addon too, you need real HDR to use it, but a little hassle to tune it.

If i try to use SpecialK i only get a black screen after starting the game. MS Store Version.

ReShade and all those post-processing type deals really suck. Adding saturation, sharpening, or whatever filter you *think* looks good isn't actually making the image look any better. At most you're just deviating from the intent of the people who made the game.

It's similar to a child who just found out the "bass boost" option in their equalizer.

I tried both and gamepass version works with SK only in windowed fullscreen mode. Also, don't use SK together with reshade.

A matter of perspective, and sounds like one from someone that doesn't know how to use it properly.

Okay, so let's get into then - how do you use it properly?

What exactly are you adding with ReShade that the developer could not have added themselves if they wanted to?

Do you think you have superior artistic intent than the people who spent all that time creating the game? The developers had no idea when they were making the game, but you, you're the one who knows what to tweak to make the game look *extra* good?

You can improve the colorgrading based on the monitor you have, you can fix bad HDR, you can improve texture detail with adaptive sharpening, you can add raytraced global illumination, the list goes on forever, you probably have never really used it. At least it sounds that way.
