Devs...Get blur out of my games!

Just a shout out to developers; get that blur out of my games! It's horrid! Every game that has blur, I try and turn it off immediately. If I wanted blur, I'd put on some fuzzy goggles before gaming. Sure...some may like it, but at LEAST have it as an option we can turn on/off. Example...Far Cry 3. The game looks horrible when driving, but then when I fixed the blur (edit configuation file) it's STUNNING. Really, the difference in fidelity is huge. With blur on at stock Ultra settings, the game really looks horrible, at least when driving or going fast. However, without blur, the game rivals Crysis 2 dx11/high textures or Battlefield 3. It's a great looking game. Why cover it up?

Join me in my rant against blurriness! Or fight against my position...hopefully devs will notice we PC gamers have nice rigs so we can see good graphics...blur was introduced to keep people from seeing poor graphics on consoles. Even if some people like it (which is fine...nothing wrong with that) it should at least be an option to turn off in games.

Also...tell your' friends to come write on this thread so it can be huge and devs will notice. ;)

I hate too much bloom. Dead Island is pretty bad when it comes to it.

Which value do you have to change to get rid of the motion blur? It's quite annoying at high speed indeed.

Lols. Hilarious.

Add over-done bloom the list. Believe it or not, I don't actually like having to squint while I play my games.

Next-gen is going to be all about post-processing filters as games keep pursuing the traditional look of film. The blur and optical aberrations of SW1313 are a sign of things to come:

I don't mind a bit of blur, but in some games its a little heavy and gets really annoying.

Play Syndicate, then play every other game. You'll be thankful they don't use as much blur/bloom like Syndicate does.trastamad03

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="guynamedbilly"] Yes, and that happens automatically. When it's done in the game, it's blurred twice. Your eyes are still there, it's not like the limitations of your eyes goes away when looking at a screen.Elann2008

You need to move your head quicker.... MUCH QUICKER....no... EVEN FASTER THAN THAT.

No? Ok, now do it again but film yourself with a webcam..... FASTER !!!!

Now upload the footage to the YouTube and send us the link.

The reason we see silly effects like this in games is because the 'artisitic' people who couldn't make it in Hollywood eventually make their way into PC game studios.

Blur is awesome. Move ur head quickly to one side and ur vision blurs. Bloom well done (not over the top) is also awesome.FelipeInside

Ya, down with blur! I should be able to see with perfect clarity while going 80mph in a car!Nick3306

Do you rub Vaseline over your eyes when you drive down the interstate in real life to get that "realistic" feel too?

I'd rather have overused motion blur than the terribad post process anti-aliasing crysis 2 uses (pre modded-in sharpen filter).

Been complaining about this for years. I don't game on PC to have smear or popup or other lame limitations. Hence I have not bought or played very many of the console ports we are getting nowadays and I am happy.

The only way that point would be relevant would be if the blur effect were rendered in the 3D space of the game rather than an effect over the whole field of view. Things in the distance would not be as blurred as something right in front of you.

Obviously, it's not rendered that way which is why blur in games looks like hot garbage. If it was rendered correctly within the 3D space, no one would have a problem with it because then it would look realistic.

Blur is the first thing i turn off.

Bloom is good tho.

ya i hate the blur also. luckily you can turn it off in most games still. bloom can be bad also in some cases.

FXAA blows also, a lot of games i've played recently had that but didn't have a normal antialiasing option. so your stuck with blurry FXAA unless you can force traditional AA outside.

That's why I use an autoexec to eliminate all AA in Crysis 2, then play with SweetFX. Looks about a thousand times better, and gives me a better framerate, too.

I dont like bloom or blur. Bloom can look nice but the problem is something on this scale:

---(Good Bloom)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(How much devs use)

instead of having bloom as a nice touch on certain materials and so on they use bloom and blur to cover how bad the graphics of the game are. Its kinda like a plague spreading over at the dev studios... Even pc games use these things now =(

Motion blur doesn't bother me at all.

I agree with you OP. The blur and post-processing effects have gotten out of control. It has gotten to the point where it detracts from the game.

You mean I'm not supposed to do that? :(
