Maahniac Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I came directly from Resident Evil 3, another grim zombie game, to similarly atmosphered The Last of Us Part II, and I'm immediately annoyed by the amount of film grain in the game's graphics. I tried to calibrate my tv, and look through the game's options, but I can't seem to do anything about it. It's particularly annoying in darker areas of the game. Does it bother anyone else? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal preference really, I think the film grain really suits it and looks fantastic, especially in areas with a lot of foliage. Although I do agree some sections were extremely dark, a bit too much 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Conor Posted June 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) Thank you! Folks are childishly bickering over the story, characters, violence, reviews and so forth and yet nobody has mentioned the most truly offensive aspect of the game- the frigging film grain! All those different visual accessibility options- which is frigging awesome of Naughty Dog even though I personally have no need of them- and yet they don't give you an option to turn off the damned film grain!

Popular Post Gibbo_0113 Posted June 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2020 Film grain has no place being in video games. No point having super realistic graphics if they are gonna cover it with grain. Hoping they patch it before i start. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkHpokinsn Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) Nope, fits the style of the game perfectly. It only annoyed me for the first 5 minutes then I got used to it. It’s funny that something so small can annoy some people. It’s a Beautiful game for sure. 40 minutes ago, Gibbo_0113 said: Film grain has no place being in video games.

I don’t see how film grain and realistic graphics can’t co-exist, I think it’s meant to look like an old movie or something. Actually I think the first game had it too didn’t it? 59 minutes ago, Lan Stee said: Thank you!

Fits the game more or less, and it’s such a small thing that it shouldn’t be too annoying. Edited June 20, 2020 by DarkHpokinsn 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it does "fit" the game, I'd just rather not have it- it's very damn noticeable on my 65 inch OLED. I don't see how it enhances the game in any way. But it's really my only complaint so far, and yes, at that it is a small one. Would be nice to have the option, though.

They can also let the players decide and give us the option to disable it as not everyone likes there tv to look like there are millions of mosquitos flying around. The biger the tv and higher res the more noticeable the grain gets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igs63 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Yes, I noticed it too, it bugged me for a bit but then I got over it. I think regardless of what everyone thinks of it, there should have been an option to turn it on or off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandra-jane09 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 To be honest I haven't actually noticed any grain, I remember The Order 1886 having a sort of grainy filter in the sky areas, but I thought that was kind of cool to give it that look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janire1911 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 The first thing I did when I got to the main menu for the first time was to go to the options to turn film grain off. You can imagine my surprise when I noticed there was no way to disable it. Film grain belongs in movies, not video games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biger the tv and higher res the more noticeable the grain gets. I play on 55” and I notice it but it’s no where near enough to ruin the game visually. To each their own I suppose though, the option wouldn’t hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIOHAZARD-R-US Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I have yet to play this game, but my 2 cents on video game film grain in general is that I haven't seen really any examples that I can recall a game having too much film grain. I find it quite an uncommon filter actually. I thoroughly enjoy film grain, and the biggest example of that is Resident Evil 5. Between the PS3 and PS4 versions of the game, I have played through the campaign at least 200 times, and playing it without the Grain filter activated actually hurts my head. Whether or not that's because I'm so used to it and anything else is jarring, I'm not sure. But even when an older movie with film grain gets rereleased and gets an IMAX Mega Ultra 69K Super Deluxe Technicolor XtraColor remaster, and they clean up the grain, it's bothersome for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShahinMiah Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Film grain? Either there is little to none in my game OR i just haven't noticed it at all. My picture has been coming out perfectly clear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neocarleen Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Post-apocalyptic dystopias are bleak, narratively and apparently visually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infected Elite Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 i noticed it, was bothered for about 2mins. I can adapt quick. Playing on a 65" Qled. I did calibrate the in game HDR settings though which helped a bit. So far i have no complaints. on Chapter 3 lol. But coming over from Days Gone and previously struggling to enjoy DQ11, this game has NO TEXTURE POP INS or bad rendering. So ill take film grain and a finished, polished game, over something that even with numerous updates can still be a mess... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da-Noob123 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Maybe post game you can unlock filters. I think the first one had them and I know Uncharted does. It is a bit weird that you can't turn it off since there are a bazillion other choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightVege Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Wait, you can't turn this off?! Oh, that sucks... the first thing I do is switch that crap off in any game which has it (along with motion blur). Hope they patch in the option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it bother anyone else? what i remember from RE3 was a lot of chromatic aberration, not film grain. Maybe it's that? I know exactly what you're talking about though!

PhantomFear94 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I must admit it does slightly bother me, yes. I'd like the option for it to be in place or not in place. I thought at first it was the fact I was playing on a slim, but it was the same on the pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
