You don't say ¬_¬ Just because something is a certain way in real life, doesn't mean it works well in a video game. While having excessive lenses flare sure is pretty, having half my screen made useless whenever the sun is on my screen is irritating as hell, and does nothing to add to the games "realism" (i'd argue it actually pulls you out of it). This is about the most i think the sun should interfere with your screen (screenshot i took from FF14 earlier today :P)
It gets the "LOOK THIS THING IS BRIGHT" message across fine, without being intrusive. Other than the sun i have no complaints with SF's visuals at all ^^ |
Youre comparing third person to first person where the player is wearing a visor - as an motorcyclist without a sun shield layer on their visor will tell you, the sun when in front of you can make seeing things very difficult.
while they could tone it down "because its just a game", it wouldnt work with the lighting the game uses, its very intense and dramatic, and ultimately part of an aesthetic package, comparing art direction to a game that has a completely different one makes no sense.
