The use of motion blur in DriveClub was amazing, the sense of speed was great. I hope future racing games use it more/better.

I guess it's a personal preference then.

Umn no, motion blurt doesn't save me money, that sounds completely nonsensical and misinformed, especially for someone who claims they don't get the hate and then goes to slander AF and general AA over motion blur. I am the type that finds motion blur incredibly off putting and non realistic, I find it disorientates my eyes a lot of the time and gives me a slight motion sickness feeling along with it actually hampering my frames than giving me a ton more like you boldly claim.

To add before you reply like you;ve already done before, no I don't get over motion sickness by adapting to the very thing that causes it, I don't work that way either.

Also why the thread to pit it "good for console gamers, dunno why the PC crowd be hatin, lets focus on that crowd instead" type thread.

Also I find Depth of field annoying as well since it heavily blurs a lot of the background image out and my eyes just don't work like that at all. In fact for almost any game I turn off DoF, Motion blur, Chromatic Aberration, Film grain and in recent good ports like Dying Light, turning off those fx permanently actually gained me more frames than having them all turned on. Chromatic Aberration is ugly as sin though for games, it works well for some other forms of media and photography but definitely not games.

Motion blur is a post process effect ...

More often than not I don't like it for the reason above ...

Using a screen space approach to simulate a camera's shuttering is a bad idea, quality wise ...

Temporal anti-aliasing is the future, not this smudging effect ...

Yeah, no thanks - that's the first effect I turn off in every game, along with depth of field and that latest devs' fetish called chromatic abomination.

For a while when I started playing Dying Light I had always wondered what the hell CA was as an effect that was bothering me a lot with the visuals and generally coloured blurring, then after some time I had to look up what CA was. Needless to say I find it one of the worst fx to throw into games besides motion blur and DoF.

Also after seeing some benches for Dying Light, turning off CA completely (through mods) actually showed an increase in fps, so CA did more harm visually and eprf wise than good, some devs need to elarn that shoving all these fx doesn't automatically make your game look objectively amazing and they should also fofer various ways to turn them fof completely since mods for some FX seem to be the only way. Thank the maker for having mods and option menus for PC versions though.

I also noticed that playing Starcraft II Legacy of the void wasn't jam packed with all those fx that we've listed in the thread so far, they could certainly be jammed in there but they aren't because Blizzard know not to do such a thing.

the movement of our body isnt comparble with the movement of a videogame character espacially ego shooters, the motion blur represents the actuall blur we would see if we would move like this

Motion blur is an artistic effect used to hide judder and as such is a love or hate thing. The motion blur like depicted in videogames only exists in videogames and movies. Normally only our brain creates passively motion blur when we are not focusing on the objects in motion.

Focusing on an motion blurred object in a videogame is totally unnatural and can create motion sickness.

It's a cinematic effect used to hide judder and ghosting blur mainly seen in non cathodic screens. The problem is that it completely destroys image clarity in the process and that most developers use a very low quality of motion blur.

Very high quality motion blur is the only one that should be used in videogames because it keeps the clarity at decent levels.

One of the best motion blur I have seen, one that is tolerable, is notably used in Driveclub. The motion blur used in Dying Light or the recent COD are also impressively high quality too and are also tolerable for me.

But others games that use a very low quality Motion blur are unplayable for me. For instance I cant' play Shadows of Mordor (Digital edition, I can't resell it) because of how badly blurred the image is at any motion, even a very slow motion. It's unbearable.

IMO
