[Kugyi]

Actual screenshot from Zips :

This is an example with tone mapping :

Attachment 4280

Lacking Tone Mapping? Really? Because Tone Mapping is designed for High Dynamic Range photography, using multiple shots from different exposures, merging them, and using tone mapping to blend the merged result.

I find it misleading when a game uses "tone mapping", because unless they are rendering the same frame with different exposures, there would be no point in tone mapping. The only reason this is done in photography is because digital cameras' sensor is unable to capture the entire range of dynamic light. This is NOT the case with rendering, unless, as said before, rendering multiple frames with different exposures. Which really has no point because you can render the entire dynamic range of light in 1 frame. This would be a waste of processing power to include "tone mapping".


The ONLY difference in the two examples in the quote is a slight adjustment of brightness and contrast. Not even close to tone mapping.

If players can turn off the floating zone for aiming, will shooting from the hip potentially be much easier than it was in Ostfront?

Screen-shots and info are all looking sweet apart from this one niggle.

They cant turn free aim off, only in aim down sight mode.

 

[teemu92]

lets hope so, I really dislike the magic floating nametags over your teammates heads.


Also what does "killed from location" mean?
Please god, dont let it be a "killcam"

Otherwise it looks amazing.

I think its for the 1 life gametype only, i heard somebody say that.

 

[teemu92]

let's hope it isn't like CoD or BF

What is so bad about it, i always thought ostfront nading was too slow, but either way is fine for me.

End game score board.

END, GAME.

Team score :3

I wonder if the score board is any different when you're actually in game...

I bet the pings won't be zero lol

Reminds me more of Till Lindemann, and he seems to be on the wrong side.

Spoiler!

I was going to say that

9. tanks in Apartments HERE

That's not Apartments. It's Pavlov's House. Apartments is an infantry only map.

Anyway the second screenshot looks a lot more natural IMO

The second screenshot can be accomplished by adjusting Brightness and Contrast on your monitor. You can even adjust it for specific programs only as well, if it weren't in the options...

The FOV does look off in the screenshots. But still thanks for posting good to have some news

Although what's with this guy? He looks like he's 80 years old! Some General playing at Schutze?

Yep, had to adjust the settings in RO1 to my liking. I would expect RO2 to be the same.

So you think I will be changing my monitor settings back and forth every time I go play this map just for that?

have you somehow missed the last sentence in his post?

You could throw nades in less than a second...

Hardly, but you're more than welcome to try it.

 

[u-s-e-r]

So you somehow missed that its just that one single map, all the other maps would then look strange.

Also, it is impossible for me to do that so i couldnt do it anyway, and if I could, I wouldnt go through the hassle just for that.

Anyway this isnt getting us anywhere, I just wanted to point out that the screenshot looks strangely yellow to me as well.

I think you mean the control panel for you graphic cards rather than the actual monitor? Yet it won't produce the same result.

About that old-looking guy - he could also only be grimacing, due to stress and exhertion. Look at pictures of sportspeople caught in the heat of the moment. Nothing wrong with that guy up there, as far as I am concerned.
