Yeah areas like that with some AA could look nice. That shot literally hurts my eye in that state.Durante said:

Tons of those have the piss filter. Actually, almost all of them do. The only one that really escapes it altogether is the white room, even though the computer screens are in the corner goin' "fuck don't forget about the piss!"
Edit: oh and screenshot 81 seems to lack the worst of it, although that screenshot is HIDEOUS. Looks like super early Deus Ex Human Rev version gross
The piss filter is the yellow hue being applied over top most of the scenes. In almost all those shots, it is hugely pronounced so...yeah.
The shot DennisK4 showed (second half, not first half):

Doesn't have a piss filter. God I really might wait for ENB's shiz. So much more naturalistic.

If we're comparing just the quality of the graphics it's obvious it's not up to par with most modern AAA games, but it makes up for that with the art style.
I personally think the game looks good enough for me as long as the gameplay is as deep as DX1. At least it shouldn't be too hard to get the game running on the highest settings, excluding DX11 stuff obviously.

Human Revolution isn't technically impressive, as in the engine powering it isn't doing anything fancy. Quite the contrary, it's quite dated by comparison to what a modern game should look like. For example, environment shadows are baked, rather than rendered in real time. Sometimes character shadows dont render at all (based on the preview build). A lot of textures are relatively low resolution. The geometry complexity on props and what have you is really quite low.
But the art sets it apart from other games on the market, in my opinion. Its an attractive game if you're able to appreciate the level of quality in the art direction.

Here's the best example of piss filter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVQsK_RVAuY
Hell, this is the game that gave birth to piss filter and mods like ENB to correct the piss filter. Most definitely Deus Ex will have mods like that too.

See, that or GRID are examples of egregious brownish yellow hues. It feels out of place in those games, like it's a messed up color option.
Deus Ex's gold and black works because it's cohesive with every other part of the visual design.

Same shit. Different color combination according to your brain (No. that is not an insult, I swear).
Two thoughts on this:
1. If criticisms of this game are largely limited to voice acting and graphics, then it will almost be a triumph, considering the "JC A BOMB" and "WHAT A SHAME" kinda stuff from the original game, right? And I didn't dig up any Dues Ex 1 character screenshots, but presumably we all agree that game wasn't amazing graphically...right?
2. I don't know that I have -ever- liked a yellow filter in racing games, or in the Resident Evil game (I think that's the one where there was some disagreement over removing it). I don't like the left 4 dead grainy filters. In this one case however, with those screens posted above, I think the golden version actually looks better. Without it, it looks washed out and ugly in my opinion, not even naturalistic. It's almost a retreat into the world of grey and brown, since the signs aren't a brighter red.

Exactly. The piss filter in Human Revolution is actually responsible for setting the mood for the game. Even the CG cutscenes have it, which in fact, would look pretty weird when using a mod, as the CG videos would remain with the effect on.Linkzg said:

I decided to pre-order the 360 version, I just love the controller so much more. if something comes out around Monday or Tuesday that the PS3 version has a huge advantage or something I will switch it.

I'm using gold and black now to differentiate it for you folk, since I used brownish yellow as a negative for GRID and that F1 game. Likewise I could have called GRID a piss filter and HR brownish yellow. Same difference. Just a way to say the effect isn't strictly negative, just like most effects. Actually, I can't think of a pejorative for games that overuse bloom or blurring.

I love the overall art direction of the world in this game but the look of the inhabitants kindof turn me off. Plus, I'm not that big on stealth gameplay. I might get this game when it goes on sale but sadly not a day one buy for me.
MNC said:
I would say just the engine overall. The effects and art style look great in my opinion, but things like the model detail are honestly not that great. Maybe I just don't like the Crystal engine.
Crazypanda_85 said:
Stealth, as it should be, is an option in this game. Can I talk here about what weapons you get on the first mission? Because they totally would've made an all-out assault possible if I chose that.

Crazypanda_85 said:
You dont need to play it stealth.
Crazypanda_85 said:
Yeah. Like others have stated, you can play this game almost entirely in a non-stealth style if you want to. I plan to just play through it raw shooter style, since, to be honest, stealth gameplay has always bored me, even though I'm not bad at it in the slightest.
Some people may think I'll be missing out on the heart of the game playing it like that, but frankly, I find it boring being ducked behind a crate for 30 seconds waiting for a guy to turn his back so I can snap his neck.
-- Not the best graphics and some hideous aliasing in some of these shots. But WOW this game has some art direction chops behind it. I can't wait to see the fan-art and DE2 inspired mods (for example, the Unreal 3 apartment map)

Got to play a few hours last night, really enjoy the hacking minigame.
NPC's are pretty ugly except for the main ones. But I didn't care because the setting really pulls you in. I gotta agree with what was said earlier, Christian Bale's voice sounded forced and distracting to me in Batman, Adam pulls it off here making it sound more natural badass.
The game feels vaguely familiar then it clicked, it's using the Rainbow Six Vegas engine. For better and for worse. I'm a console guy, so controller felt fine, but I wanted a mouse/kb for better hacking/menu controls. Going PC version next week, no question.
I had a lot of fun, I like the dark setting. I woke up this morning and two things were on my mind: I wanna play some more, and "I didn't ask for this..."

Does not look as good without the "Piss Filter".
Agreed, this thread is full of head-scratching posts. It's like people absolutely must to find something to nitpick. Can't just be an aesthetic decision, no - we must tell the developers what they actually meant to do!MNC said:

But you know that it's not, right? So, you mean that it feels a bit like RSV? In what way?TeK-DeLorean said:

What's the difference between knocking a dude out and killing him? Is it just a different animation or is there a gameplay implication to the choice?

I've never played Underworld or much of Legend, but I gotta say.. it feels almost exactly like Rainbow Six Vegas.. Enemy AI, the way you go into and leave cover, the way you interact with boxes/barrels etc, the menu system, the map even, feels straight from Rainbow Six Vegas. Just with many coats of paint. This isn't a bad thing imo, the menus are gorgeous, and I was avoiding most combat. Just saying how it felt to me.whatevermort said:
Day one purchase for me just because I can't stop thinking about it and we need more games like this.
