> The problem with the game doing fake-HDR is that while it looks great in trailers (or... at the very least, looks like the engine is doing something fancy with lighting, "great"-ness notwithstanding) it doesn't match what my real eyes would do in a situation. An especially egregious offender in this category is Battlefield 1. When looking out of the driver's hatch of any vehicle, the game will randomly and chaotically fade it's "HDR" simulation between the exterior being discernible and a white rectangle (the hatch) set on a solid black background (the vehicle interior). The fade depends on miniscule adjustments in the PoV of the player, which is fixed relative to the outside world, not the vehicle, so you have to constantly track the view port. Battlefield 1 generally looks best in scenes featuring low (natural) contrast. > Yeah, and we screwed that up too. We don’t have the technical capability to run real film industry LUTs in the correct color space (The reason being that even fairly simple color correction pipelines in a real color grading tool keep a mid-range GPU pretty busy at 1920x1080 and higher resolutions).
