Who the hell likes Chromatic Aberration? - Lemmy.World

I just don’t get it - let’s spend so much money, development and hardware to render the most clean game possible, avoid aliasing and increase detail… And then let’s enable color distortion as if we were vieweing the game through a 1930’s cinema projector. Add in some film grain too! This saves me the effort of covering my monitor with dirt! Make sure to make those options enabled by default on every game you release too!

to render the most clean game possible

Why do you think the goal is to make something “clean” looking? You know what’s clean looking? Asteroids, Battlezone, etc. Many games are going for a more cinematic look, in which case CA, film grain, etc. can seem natural. As long as there’s an option to disable it, I don’t see why people take such objection to its presence.

Ah yes, nothing is quite as natural as a first person view with chromatic aberration and film grain, you know, just like our natural human eyes that are based on analogue photography film.

Ok sure, remove the film grain… then add in your eye’s natural blind spots, automatic content fill, and varying resolution.

Aka: the eyes you are using to play the game + Frame Generation + Dynamic Resolution.
