Friday 2011-01-28 Dev. update and Discussion

[philip.ed]

Discussing wetness is pointless at this stage. The landscape of England in CoD should represent how it would have looked in 1940. In other wrods, burnished, dry, and extremely hot.
I'm sure monitor tweaking could have an effect, but why should most users have to do that? Why can't the product be shipped out as perfect as possible? Clearly many UK residents, like myself, view these shots as anything but Blighty. I look forward to seeing what it's like on release, but ATM I agree completely with Trumper.
Just my two pence, and I'm not wishing to start an argument with anyone who thinks differently. You won't convince me to your side of thinking, so preserve your itching typing fingers for someone else

If you want it as real as possible, then a user MUST tweak their monitor. This is because you have to have a baseline definition of what "real colors" are. It makes sense for the developer to use that standard as a starting point. Then, all others conform to that standard. It has to be done that way when you think about it...

There is a vast difference in color perception depending on what monitor is being used. To get them in the same ballpark, you have to calibrate... laws of physics here can't be defeated any other way.

Sure, with a new monitor. However, once a monitor is adjusted to suit one image, that should be right for all images, unless the first image was badly out of adjustment itself, in which case everything else will look odd and further adjustment may be necessary. If each game that came out required that every player's monitor was adjusted to it, and a player's monitor had to be adjusted every time they played a different game, that would be a nightmare, it would make playing games so difficult we might as well buy consoles.

I completely agree with you Igo. I think you hit the nail on the head
I think we can only wait for release

Sorry Julien, I forgot this was your forum.
Honestly, this is a simulator. It's meant to be as realistic as possible. It's not as if we're asking for certain vegetable fields in certain areas.

My monitor comes with 4 pre-set modes as well as a manual option. After the manual settings have been adjusted it is possible to Save the setting as a named mode.
Changing the monitor settings between modes takes less than a minute to do, it ain't difficult.

I think you may not understand. When you calibrate something it'sa one time shot. If Maddox uses a calibrated monitor to balance colors and another developer of another game does not, you can't expect the other game to look right... You will not get all games to look good if they are not all calibrated during development.
