No shit! They need to fix that asap!

EverydayJoe1981d ago

I thought it was just me. Got a new HDR 4k set on the 30th (a few days after release) and my 1080p set looked better with more vivid color. I guess I should have googled it. Ha

zahdab1981d ago

Played and finiahed the game and loved .... the hdr debacle didnt really feel like an issue at all this is not a colorful game by any means

TheGamingArt1981d ago (Edited 1981d ago )

It’s either because you’re slightly blind, are oblivious to quality, or have an extremely poor display. Either way, the washed out look is extremely noticeable and bothersome and not what one would expect from turning on hdr.

zahdab1981d ago (Edited 1981d ago )

Sorry i dont have your high quality taste my friend i will try not to enjoy games without your approvalbnext time ...
Its a sony x930D was the best4k led at the time ... but what do i know ...

TheGamingArt1981d ago

It's a gift to not notice the blemishes like this. I envy you for that.

nucky641981d ago (Edited 1981d ago )

thegamingart - so, you're that worked up by hdr???

edit - and it's anal retentive to fixate on something like this.

AspiringProGenji1981d ago

I have that same TV and the HDR indeed sucks. Go to Rodhes or the Heartlands and notice how HDR looks better turned off. It is a real issue, and this game is colorful.

zahdab1981d ago (Edited 1981d ago )

Gosh i never said the game looks absolutely wonderful and has the best hdr implementation .... though for me playing it, the hdr was a non issue and It didn't hamper my enjoyment ... i loved the game and enjoyed and i felt the color gamut was toned down on purpose and it fit the mood of the game for me... if you don't want to play it and wait for a patch that was never promised it's up to you.

AspiringProGenji1981d ago

HDR is meant to enhance the base color gamut not the opposite, which is the case here. They didn’t purposely make RDR2 HDR to wash out the colors. That makes no sense

I love the game too but the HDR is not well implemented here. Stop being so defensive

slate911981d ago

It seems like TheGamingArt wouldn't have survived playing games in the 90s early 00s.

Realms1981d ago

@TheGamingArt

You can turn off HDR and it looks way better I have my issues with the game it's far from perfect but stop acting like you can't enjoy the game because of bad HDR implementation.

zahdab1981d ago

Well in cases the HDR blur issue is ps4 pro specific, i had 0 blur issues on xbox one x ... though i generally never had issues on ps4 pro with other games.
@AspiringProGenji i am not being defensive whatsoever all i said is that this was not an issue for me ... i am entitled not to care about something you or TheGamingArt my care about, I merely said i played and enjoyed the game ... I didn't know about the HDR implementation until i watched the digital foundry HDR analysis video ... and i was not about to intentionally stop enjoying a game i was enjoying thus far just case digital foundry said so.
to each his own and my take on it... is I already enjoyed the game :)

" the hdr was a non issue and It didn't hamper my enjoyment ... i loved the game and enjoyed and i felt the color gamut was toned down on purpose and it fit the mood of the game for me.."

Agree 100% . I actually turned my HDR Off and the game looks beautiful ...

rainslacker1980d ago

HDR isn't really about making a game more colorful. It's about making the pixels more dynamic with what color they do have. There are literally hundreds of thousands of colors within a single shade of color. HDR allows a closer approximation of a pixel to display what it actually appears as in it's original form, along with more information to allow those colors to stand out through better through more contract between pixels.

zahdab1980d ago

Again didnt say hdr makes a game more colorful... i said the game operates within a limited color range i dont see the lack of a proper hdr implementation having a drastic effect on it ... or having a meaningful increase in enjoyment levels

UltraNova1981d ago

First thing in my mind too. I have stopped playing RDR2 in Ch 3 in anticipation of the HDR fixing patch. I did not spend all that hard earned money on my LG OLED HDR for nothing.

Dom_Estos1981d ago

Chances are you did for HDR, as OLED nit levels are a bit gash.

UltraNova1981d ago

The near perfect black produced by OLEDs amd especially on an LG makes up for the low nit outpout.

Muigi1981d ago

The game was created using a 8 bit map. For proper HDR you need a 10 bit color map. This game will never have good HDR. Just turn it off in the settings and enjoy the game thats what I and pretty much everyone did lol.

UltraNova1981d ago

Muigi,

I did turn it off the moment I saw Digital Foundry's video. I can still hope.

Tapani1981d ago

Same here, stopped playing because I'm waiting for the HDR patch. I should stop buying games at launch, but I always fail when the hype machine works its magic!

RavageX1981d ago

I really don't know what to say if something like that stops you from enjoying a game.

UltraNova1980d ago

It has absolutely no bearing on my enjoyment of the game. Its simple really, its a game that will show what my tv can do if only they fixed HDR and I want to experience it in its full visual potential. Plus Christmas holiday is coming and I will have the time needed to really get into it they way I couldn't so. far. Its a win win for me.

1nsomniac1981d ago (Edited 1981d ago )

I can see what people’s problem is with the HDR setting with RDR2 but I still much prefer it activated than not. The game looks awful with its cartoonish colour palette. The HDR setting has absolutely no HDR quality about it but it does use a far more natural colour.

Calms it down massively, but then we live in the ADHD generation so I can see people are going to have a problem with it.

william_cade1981d ago

I playing on a PS4 slim and a computer monitor. I looks better than almost every game I have played. I am trying to think about one that looks better. Maybe HZD? Maybe...

n1kki61981d ago

Did they make the game good?

Ceaser98573611981d ago

Forget HDR on this gen... I feel Rockstar will implement HDR when they release RDR 2 on PS5 and Xbox scarlett.

UltraNova1980d ago

Its Rockstar so yeah you might ve right.

TheGamingArt1981d ago

Did anyone confirm if it fixed the HDR issue. It’s unbearable to turn it on in it’s current state.

SublimeStylee21981d ago

I can confirm on ps4 pro that the hdr has not been updated and still washed out and also background stuff Is still a little blurry, I just tried.

TheGamingArt1981d ago

This would have made my day if they fixed that :(.

Zeke681981d ago (Edited 1981d ago )

HDR is removed from the Display menu ingame. I can't find in anywhere else so I assume they removed it until they fixed it.
Edit: I play on the PS4 Pro...

GHOSTxx4201981d ago

Zeke68 its still there for me and ive updated the game

Zeke681981d ago (Edited 1981d ago )

@Ghost
Thanks for the heads up.
I have to restart my game then to see if it "comes back". Is it still at the top of the Display Menu ?
Edit : Thanks Ghost, I downloaded the patch and just started the game and I guess because I had it turned off before patching, it disappeared. I solved it by turning off my Pro for a minute, restarted it and the game and HDR is back. I turned it on, my screen looked like crap and I turned it off again lol. But now I have the option there again at least. Thought my game was bugged (again) until you posted, so thanks again. :)

GHOSTxx4201980d ago (Edited 1980d ago )

The floyd.. lmao heard xbox one x hdr is messed up too. Go troll somewhere else get off micros taint. Had a pro long before the mighty X came out guess what tho not gonna buy a X when i have a xbox one s that never gets used.

Got the digital Ultimate Edition and it just says Coming Soon on Xbox, wanted to play it before work but I guess I'll just play it later.

OneEyedSteve1981d ago

So many people disagreeing with those mentioning the blurring issue... Can't stand clueless people like that, its there and even Rockstar confirmed the issue for the PS4 Pro... The issue is even there on a non 4K tv without HDR... I use a 1080p TV without HDR and its blurry, it looks bad, it has been left on the 2nd mission since day 1!! Every other game i play looks fine. I tried the game on my older standard PS4 and it looks fine, had a friend bring his Pro round to make sure it wasn't my Pro and its exactly the same! Blows my mind how oblivious most people are.

HeisenbergX1981d ago

I use a 1080p tv and ps4 pro and it doesnt look blurry man seriously

SublimeStylee21981d ago (Edited 1981d ago )

I absolutely love the game and yes I also love my ps4 pro, but seriously assets in the background have a blur to them, stand next to a tree then look in the background, you would have to have poor eyesight to not notice this difference, I have not played on a standard ps4 and not tested on 1080,but the hdr and blurring issues are quite real on the pro.
These issues have been confirmed by rockstar, but downvote away....

HeisenbergX1981d ago

Ohh that is what you guys are making a big deal out off lol yeah i noticed that and that’s really nothing big i actually thought that is how the game looks naturally.. seriously people come on. Maybe on a 4k tv it looks much worse i don’t know but on my tv it looks great.

SublimeStylee21981d ago (Edited 1981d ago )

It's not making an issue into anything its just a fact, and honestly everyone should know by now how much I love Sony and the pro by my past history, but God forbid I notice a flaw, it's still an amazing game, I apologize for having good eyesight and noticing this.

"Rockstar Support have received many complaints regarding blurriness and lack of sharpness on the PlayStation 4 Pro version of Red Dead Redemption 2, and have responded to users with a statement in response."

Rockstar ""We are currently hard at work fixing [the issues]."

https://rockstarintel.com/r...

Edit: but yah you all claiming its false just got special versions I guess.

salmonade1981d ago

It's only happening for SOME people. I'll take screen shots of my 75" HDR 4k TV and show you, that it's fine for me. NO BLUR. HDR looks amazing. Not everyone is experiencing this.

salmonade1981d ago (Edited 1981d ago )

:LISTEN OK. LISTEN. It's NOT for all people. I have a 75" HDR 4k TV and i have NEVER expereienced any issue with my HDR. Not once. Not on my Pro. Never a blur and it looks amazing, almost like real life. SO, it's not for all people. Only some people are experiencing this issue. Not everyone is

SublimeStylee21981d ago

Ya I'm listening and i still dont believe you.

thepluggy1981d ago (Edited 1981d ago )

this is true..i am experiencing it a small bit..but my friend is not at all..we both have 4k LG TV'S.the only difference is mine is 60hrtz and his is 120hrtz...his looks much sharper and has no blur at all..I do not experience the washed out HDR that a lot of people are talking about...the color is lovely looking on it. its a strange one indeed.

BrettAwesome1980d ago

@Salmonade and buttpluggy
It's true not everyone suffers from a blurry image, but the your claims about HDR are bullshit. Turn it off and see for your selfs. I don't give a shit how big your TV is. They did not implement HDR properly on ANY platform.

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein13d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

exputers12d ago

I see what you did there.

Yi-Long12d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius12d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

Demetrius12d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh

just_looken31d ago

hmm kinda out there i find red dead 2 a over hyped game i am sure there are other's out there worthy of this award.

Are we saying rdr 2 mp is better than the first one?

The cover shooting better on #2 than #1?

I mean they reused 80% of rdr 1 map on rdr 2

smolinsk30d ago

Red Dead Redemption 1 was better. A better story that's for sure but the world in red Dead Redemption 2 is fantastic. But overall yes Red Dead Redemption 2 is overhyped but with best living World ever made.

just_looken30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Oh rdr 2 world how you leave tracks what you can do and the npc's are great no doubt

For me its the forced guns one way to play missions and the camp you can do nothing be a ass and there is no change sense none of the hunting/donating.bounty/karma etc even taking care of your horse matters. Then you got the horse inventory along with them bringing in realistic inventory but at the same time have that slomo crap pick a lane is it a wild west sim or a max payne rip off.

shinoff218330d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Plus who cares about the mp. Single player is where it's at.

I don't think it's the best sequel either. I liked it but I can see why some say it's overhyped. That's because it was. Great game still. I'd take xcom 2 as a better sequel. I'm sure there's plenty others.

just_looken30d ago

We care about mp because of gta v even if you been living under a rock you know what gtao did to gta v dlc.

Though rdr 2 mp failed it still put time/resources and budget away from the single player for a subpar experience compared to the first.

lucasnooker31d ago

Hmmm don’t know about that one myself. There’s some good sequels there….

No way last of us 2 was a better sequel than the original resident evil 2. The story of TLOU2 was a huge let down for me!

Assassins creed 2 was a vast improvement over the original and still the very best of the entire franchise imo.

Half-life 2 will always be legendary.

RDR2 is great but the best sequel ever? I don’t think so… just my opinion though I guess

shinoff218330d ago

Shoot down last of us 2 but bring up assassins creed 2. What in the world.

anast31d ago

Last of Us 2 would be mine and Dark Souls 3 has to be up there.

raWfodog31d ago

I also enjoyed TLOU2 but RDR2 edges it out for me. Both hit me in the feels but RDR2 just a little bit more lol.

anast30d ago

RDR2 is an excellent game. One of my top 10 of all time.

SimpleSlave30d ago

Sure, if you started playing game yesterday and just for this series. Otherwise? lol... No.
