It's funny that people use atmospheric haze to say something in UNrealistic when the exact opposite is true. Simulating atmospheric haze is the first thing a landscape painter learns how to do, not because it "looks cool" but because thats the scientific reality of our atmosphere. It took years for gaming to come far enough along to be able to compute realistic atmospheres and now people complain about it? Is it over exaggerated? Not by much if any, it's better over exaggerate than under exaggerate as a general principle. Every game, even a simulator needs art direction, 3d modeling is art, texturing is art, anything that graphically attempts to simulate reality is art, this includes BoB. What was Luthier's response to the over weathering comments? - "New things simply don't look good in games" - meaning they made a artistic creative choice to represent something in a way that is more visually appealing to the eye.

here is haze, as it appears in reality - and it isn't over Los Angeles, it has more to do with how much water vapor is in the air and if that vapor has dust particles to attach to so it can form clouds.
