Definitely a nice improvement. Will probably revisit this game in the next couple months. Wrap up some chievos, and maybe give the DLC a go.

I guess they look better on a HDR screen, I prefer the 2019 shots :/ The 2021 screens look a bit washed out with low color saturation. Plus the character model looks kinda ill and scary in 2021

Probably is what you said, too used to abnormal contrast and over saturation that realistic lightning looks off now. I have 144hz ips panel, HDR capable according to windows 10 but no clue how to use it. (It activates on some pictures on google maps which turn pretty much all very bright white, not working right) It doubt it will be anywhere near the HDR my tv produces when it works.

That shot above looks great. But I stand by my opinion that she looks ill in 2021 :) Uncanny valley is calling.

It's not a monitor, just a laptop screen. Predator Helios 300.

I checked the settings, (Windows HD color) it just lists stream HDR video under capabilities and there is a difference between using HDR and not using HDR with the sample video. (Much better / brighter highlights) Yet under capabilities Use HDR No, Use WCG apps no (no clue what that is)

So not sure what's going on with (some) google maps images. I only saw it in Europe (touring the world in FS2020 while checking pictures in google maps) but perhaps it was a bug in windows that got patched out. I can't find it anymore and haven't seen it in months.

This screen is night and day difference with my old laptop though, and can match my tv in color clarity. But no pure black. And I guess no (fake) HDR for pictures. I see there is (or should be) a version with 3080rtx out, might be time to start shopping around for a new one :)


Edit: What also helps, it's dark now, makes the new pics look better while the high contrast one now look fake black (due to no pure black). It's the same with HDR games, really no point playing them during the day. The ambient light interferes too much.

Oh that pops all right, absolutely amazing shots! It's overcast today, perfect viewing weather :) That blue looks really nice. Now that looks next gen (and its just an upgrade)

That water is gorgeous.

Uncanny! It's a horror game after all, so it fits.

I agree. There's always something a bit off about the normal characters in Resident Evil....or at least in 7 and 8. The enemies/antagonists actually come across looking much better, because they're a bit more stylized, so your brain kinda gets they're not real anyway, but the regular people are a bit too doll like in their appearance. 

Been playing Village with Max settings. RE engines character model continues to be insane!

I might go back to playing metro with my 3080 eventually.

Yeah that old lad with the shotgun is giving me massive CGI Grand Moff Tarkin vibes but saying that... his face is amazing looking, when I think back to playing games on the PS2 and thinking "this is it... it'll never get better than this" Think at the time a single one of those pics you posted would take a PS2 about 10 minutes to render....
