Why are #MotionBlur, #FilmGrain, #ChromaticAberration, #DepthOfField, #Bloom, #Vignette, #LensFlare, #VolumetricFog and heavy #TAA enabled by default? They may look #Cinematic, but in real #Gameplay they are awful. 🫣

They blur the image, reduce #Clarity and #Readability, hide details, cost reaction time — and waste a lot of #FPS on effects that actively
make the image worse. For me, some of them even cause #MotionSickness. I disable all of this #Immediately. They directly hurt #Performance and #Playability.

I buy a 4K monitor and powerful hardware to get max. sharpness and textures, only to end up with blur and lower performance that completely negate it? 🤨

I want #VisualClarity, #Precision, #Control.
Gameplay first. Graphics second.

So I continued playing #TheLongDark, and Episode 2 was much worse than I remembered it. Apart from the really overdone bear fight (which includes mortally wounding the bear 9 times, the last three of which in a several minutes long sequence with no saving), part of the last mission is waiting for a specific, randomly occurring weather condition that had me wait for FOURTEEN DAYS. #gamedesign #playability

Interview de l'excellent Valentin Squirelo chez #Maddyness, pour expliquer tout de son nouveau et très ambitieux projet #playAbility, destiné à donner un meilleur accès aux jeux vidéo pour les personnes en situation de handicap. Un sujet d'autant plus important que, comme le rappelle l'article, le JV est vrai vecteur de lien social pour ces personnes, souffrant souvent d'isolement social.https://www.maddyness.com/2023/10/10/jeux-video-playability-ouvre-lacces-aux-handicapes-grace-a-sa-manette-universelle/

I think I've never heard of #playability applied to instruments...

That 300$ Yamaha Flamenco guitar is surprising !
