Motion blur

[Siquale]

Almost every game has it enabled by default. However, I've never played with it, I don't feel comfortable with it. And then I thought, maybe it's a matter of habit? Maybe it's really better with blur?

Do you play with blur and what do you think about it?

[J4MESOX4D]

I always remove post processing effects like that and film grain for the cleanest and smoothest image. I think most people tend to. Chromatic aberration is the worst IMO. Motion blur is probably viable in some games such as racing titles or cinematic experiences but in others it can have a horrible effect especially if you are swinging the camera around in third person.

Just imagine having motion blur irl, you probably gonna hate it... and so do I.

I like to actually be able to see what I'm doing in a game. Otherwise I'd just not play at all.

So... No. Absolutely hate with a passion games which force you to have it on.

Blur in games are used to hide faults.

Motion Blur, Film Grain, Chromatic Abberation, the unholy trinity of garbage graphic effects i turn off in each and every game i play because F those effects.

Ever turned your head from left to right with your eyes open?
I get why people including me don't like motion blur in games but the IRL argument just doesn't work.

You just made a similar statement with the " left to right" , which is something you do irl.
What I wrote was more of a sarcastic metaphor.

I play with motion blur on... until i move the camera for the first time, realize it's on and then disable it.
Every. Single. Time.

[Phénomènes Mystiques]

Motion blur should only be enabled in racing games where it is truly needed for realistic effect.

Always first things to turn off in every game.

I always disable those settings that make the game both look worse and perform slightly worse.
Motion blur, depth of field, chromatic aberration, vignette, film grain, lens flare they all get the boot.

I don't have a script that determines what I do.

It may decrease your frame-rate. And if you use an LCD-screen, you already have this effect by default. Sort of.
Regardless, I turn it on sometimes. Sometimes I make the graphics appear different to get some sort of experience from it. It honestly depends on the game-play, and whether or not you want graphics to appear even less "sharp" when in motion.
Sometimes the graphics are simplistic, and then making them less sharp could be beneficial. Because technically, it adds some sort of "fluidity" to the graphics that alters whatever you see depending on your (or an object's) movement. So you recieve an increased variety of still images your brain will have to process, would they have been still images, (which they technically still are). There's a creative use for it.

Better to have the option than not have it. You should just turn it on and off and experiment with it. It makes no sense to always turn it off by default, because then you are not testing it to see of it adds anything for you or not. Because technically, it does add something. Your graphic images will have a potential greater variety. So you essentially recieve more content, or at least a greater potential variety of images you would be able to process.

Effects might be nice if done right.

Nobody ever does them right, so off it goes.

Sarcasm doesn't work in text alone. Sarcasm requires vocal intonation for one. Text doesn't convey vocal tone. So, i say again, sarcasm in text alone does not work.

Sounds pretty obvious, although text can easily show sarcasm alone. But that is not related to the "motion blur" the OP was talking about.
I would love to hear your opinions about the matter.
