Doesn’t mean I’m not suspicious about it tho.

    PSA: Trailers are made to look amazing. The actual gameplay is the most important content when judging if a game is worth following. But even gameplay can and has been removed or changed before a videogame is released. But most importantly…

    DO NOT BUY PRE-ORDERS OR FIRST DAY BUYS!! The videogame industry has shown time and time again that they “will have to patch the game AFTER the game release, to actually make it a full and functional videogame” Give it time. You might just save yourself a headache and the loss of $40-$70.

    I watch those upcoming trailers on Youtube, and I’m sure it’s just me, but - it always seems like the movies are going to be stupid. For one thing, I’m in the minority, I don’t watch Marvel movies or care about superheros, so there goes 99 percent of the movies’ appeal for me. But also - I HATE the blue veneer over movies today - like they were all shot with a dark blue lens so everything is a uniform gray color, no skin tones, no sky tones, no color to the trees. I realize that’s probably because digitally shot movies look that way, but it’s quite unpleasant and ugly.

      Digitally shot movies don’t have to look that way, that’s why color grading exists. It’s partially due to directors utilizing HDR though.

        I wondered about that. When I was a film major in college (way back in 80s) we were using 16 mm cameras and actual film, and to correct for daylight (which has a lot of blue in it) we had to use an orange filter over the lens to make the colors more natural. So I’m sure there are ways to correct for the blueness in digitally shot movies. I just wish they’d use it!

        Like the movie “Napoleon” that just came out. There’s no way I’ll watch it just because I hate that blue/grey aesthetic so much, it bleeds so much life out of things and leaves skin tones grey and skies always looking overcast. It’s like being in a freezing cold place for two hours. No thanks!
