Friday 2011-01-28 Dev. update and Discussion

[Gomer Pyle]

Maybe the grass should just be left as is, seeing that there are so many variables. It will either never be the right color/hue or it will be just one plausible rendition out of many - It'll just have to be up to the eyes looking. After reading about Petters film project, I for one am ready to put this grass in my pipe and smoke it.

What! Oleg hasn't modelled the dew drops sparkling in the morning sunlight!

I'm giving up and playing solitare instead!

Forget dressing the guy, will there be outfits for the girl?

Not sure why we're focusing on the colour of England...

What happened to the mustache Oleg? As for the girl...I've been to Moscow many times, my wife is Russian in Moscow...ALL Moscow women look like this...beautiful!!

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
