Nice! Can't wait to see what they come up with

isarai2079d ago

YES PLEASE!! as a person obsessed with image quality, the inconsistency at which HDR is currently being handled is driving me NUTS! it's being tacked onto game that weren't mastered for HDR, others are crazy dim, and some even look worse like U4 and Deus Ex.

So coming together as a group to figure out a standard sounds amazing

moomoo3192079d ago

nah Uncharted 4 and Deus ex do not look worse in HDR. Neither do Horizon or AC origins. It does get tacked on poorly though like with fifa, battlefield, cod, wolfenstein. Super unnecessary

Skull5212079d ago

Was nice to see it didn't get added to Halo 5, 343i was honest and said the game wasn't built for it. Haven't played some of those titles but it is definitely poor implementation in Uncharted 4, I've been trying to get through the game over the past few days and swapped it on and off, the game wasn't designed for it.

@skull

Uncharted 4 looks great with HDR - yours must be broke.

Exari2078d ago

actually the only games that did an incredible job with hdr are uncharted 4 (for some reason it even looked better with lost legacy) and horizon

@Exari

GT Sport takes HDR top spot for me.

Cool. If I can plug in any system to any tv, and play a game from any publisher without messing with settings I’m all for it!!

rainslacker2078d ago

That's what HDR is supposed to provide. A consistent quality standard despite the display. Unfortunately, the displays themselves don't really adhere to the standards that actually exist within HDR, and gaming so far hasn't adopted them either, and tend to just take a cursory approach by increasing sharpness and not really adjusting the colors properly.

Shiken2079d ago

HDR gives so much more to visual quality than 4K does. I am all for this!

Fishy Fingers2079d ago

HDR doesn’t take any additional resources. No real reason to sacrifice resolution. I’d like both.

Skull5212079d ago

Completely disagree. I prefer to have both but I'd take the ultra crisp looks of of 4K game over a lower resolution blurry/soft mess with HDR.

moomoo3192079d ago

Bless up HDR is so inconsistent right now

Disruptor PS1, a pre Goldeneye console FPS from 1996 (with Command and Conquer type FMV cutscenes) and the first game by a pre Spyro Insomniac Studios directed by Mark Cerny. A good game for its time, and pre Bioshock use of telekinesis type powers. A game sadly almost completely lost to time

PrimeVinister19d ago

I have never even heard of it, so that must be a deep cut. Sounds really interesting and I might dig it out :-)

PrimeVinister19d ago

@Cacabunga A classic, no doubt. But, fondly remembered by many.

Cacabunga19d ago

First one was so good but second one on another level!!!
Still hoping to see a next gen version..

PrimeVinister19d ago

@Cacabunga Yeah, I preferred II for the real-timier combat. I would love to see both remade or remastered.

We need to bring back the golden era of ps1 & ps2 .
We need to see quality games developed with alot of passion to make gamers satisfied .
We need to benefit from new AI technology to bring something new to games something like " nemesis systems " that used in shadow of morder and upgrade it to next level

PrimeVinister18d ago

The economics of games has changed a lot since the PS1 and PS2. As much as I would love a return to those days, it's not not at all likely.
