Might look good on some games, brighter games really. But with a murky FPS there is nothing to be gained but a headache.
What about a mod that increases sharpness in the middle of the screen?
That way it would be better for sniping. These blurring effects are all, over the top. If I am asleep and someone shines a halogen lamp in my face, I get bloom. When I walk outside, I only get bloom if I smother my eyeballs in Vaseline.
Word to the folk who decided that we should fade to crap with the depth of field blend - quit it. It's pointless and a poor representation of our eyes. If I am looking straight ahead, then I'm looking straight ahead, down the iron sights or whatever. If I look a little to the left, then I am looking a little to the left - I can see what is to the left because my eyes are human eyes, I can focus to the left or right at will. I'm brilliant at it. What I don't need is a fake blurring telling me what I can't do!
They could try and replicate bad eyesight by blurring out the distance objects, but people with bad eyesight wear glasses or contacts. So pointless.
The should use those sorts of effects to replicate motion, like turn around really fast, or go from prone to jumping, and your eyes will not be able to catch up, things would be blurred. That could be 'mimicked' and produce a much more natural look I think.
My eyes can do better effects on their own, they can focus where I point them, I can put on glasses when I want to see in the distance. Would the military even employ people with such horrible eyesight!.
Damn, another whinge post, it's been a long week
.
But yeah, understand that I'm not against the plugin, I'm against the very core of the idea that we should do it that way at all. I can imagine marketting people using words like Shine and Pops, and vivid - makes me sick.
