Huh.
I must be in the huge minority who thinks it looks superb.

I can see the appeal of this to some, a grittier more realistic take on the city.
Still waiting for that mod that increases the atmosphere already there instead of stripping away colors, saturation and atmosphere though.
VisualV isn't bad but it's such a small jump. Hope someone figures out a much bigger visual upgrade.

Precisely. I was having this exact argument with a friend of mine when we were playing Uc4 online. He said that Uc4 had better graphics and physics and my response was, yes Uc4 does have better graphics but it's a game where the graphics renders one place at a time and GTA5 has to do all of it at the same time. And I enjoyed the physics of GTA5 more than Uc4, I thought they were more realistic.
and you have every right to have that opinion. but objectively speaking? Uc4 does have better graphics - albeit because it has the advantage of being linear instead of open world. With that being considered, yes, it can be argued that GTA5 is the more impressive piece of work.
In terms of the actual graphics though regardless of circumstances, the character models in Uc4 alone are way better than GTA5.
i didn't make that post to start another argument.

Stock ENB doesn't do much visually with GTAV. Slight AA enhancements and car deformation are there but you have to tweak it so things look different
Looking at the photo gallery the Redux "Original" preset doesn't have that awful tonemapping that he uses in the "Ultra" preset which is what I think the video was showing.
Still though, like so many mod authors who try to make graphical improvements he just takes the effects/colour tones to places of excess.

Looks fine.
But the attempts at verisimilitude with water/glass/metal reflections have everything too 'clean' so it ends up looking alien and overpolished. I get where they're heading with their attempts at weather/lighting simulation and the other materials look good, but when something looks too glassy it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Some of those look nicer, but all of it at one is overdone and looks more stylized and less natural than vanilla. I'll echo that I would like if I could choose which ones to turn on.
The coloring is awful but the new textures and effects looks pretty good.
Edit: Some of the shots on the website with the original preset for coloring look pretty impressive. The new plant textures are really nice.
Concerned about performance though because even on a 1080 vanilla GTAV doesn't run totally smooth in areas with a lot of foliage.

Yeah, I mean, idk what people are expecting. It's a mod, and it looks like a well done one at that. It's not going to take home awards for original art style or anything.

I love the way the game looks by default. No thanks.

Quality shit-filter/bloom combo. True next-gen experience.

Gunplay's still fairly clunky with a controller, less so if you can run it at a high framerate. But the game lets you switch between controller and keyboard on the fly anyway, so you can use M&K on-foot, then switch to a controller when you get into a car. It really is an awesome port, which is even more amazing considering GTA IV.
looks sterile and overblown, why do all of these types of graphical mods have to be so overdone on literally every effect? The god rays are so harsh for example in combination with the bloom effect, and its like they took infamous second son's rain system and dialed it up to like 11, even though it clashes with the assets.
Some more subtlety would go a long way

hah, evokes memories of Office Space for me idk why.
i think the mod looks ok, count me in the people who think the game already looks amazing especially the lighting.

I like it. Tone is a bit more noir, which is nice.

Anyway, looks great in some areas but that contrast and choice of colors make the picture too dark. Thats the problem of almost all graphical enhancers ive seen.

Absolutely
The game is just plain more playable on PC. I usually wouldn't harp on this sorta shit to this extent because the argument can be made that a lot of games are more playable on PC (but I'm not gonna go there), but this is one game where there's stark difference no matter how you run the game - at low settings, at high, at 30fps or 60fps, the input response is NIGHT AND DAY.
