Motion blur in ESO can make it look better

cosyeddyxd · February 2017

Motion blur is a fantastic effect that can be very helpful to improve the graphics effects in this game, it might seem like a new game... nowadays almost all the games have this fantastic feature that make a 30 fps game look like a 60.
So... who want to see this graphic feature in the game? how can I suggest it to the developers?

Motion blur is the first thing I try to disable in any new game I've ever installed. For me it makes a 30fps game feel more like 15fps, generally feels unresponsive during combat.

Motion blur and lens flare. KEEP THEM OUT!

NO thanks. BUT depth of field would make this game look gorgeous. I love the way the game looks in the background when opening inventory.

I disable motion blur and depth of field. I want a clear, crisp picture no matter what's happening.

just copy and paste this into your chat:

/script SetFullscreenEffect(FULLSCREEN_EFFECT_CHARACTER_FRAMING_BLUR, 0.5, 0.65)

enjoy

I agree. When viewing a picture or watching a movie these effects can be cool.

But when playing a video game I find they just don't work as they should, primarily because they try to mimic the effect our eyes experience while changing focus and moving quickly.

Problem is our eyes watching a screen is not the same as our eyes watching real life. Depth of field effects in most games work by blurring the area where the reticule is not. But our eyes are not usually where the reticule is, but the game has no idea where our eyes are actually looking. So while you are looking around the screen you end up looking at a blurred area unless you point the reticule right at it.

Same with motion blur. It is meant to mimic the blur our eyes experience when we turn our heads quickly. But that just doesn't happen in a game where most people play 3rd person. It's just looks unnatural.

Similarly, I hate 3D movies. In real life your eye focus just doesn't change all that much. If you are driving it tends to be pretty much on the road or on the dashboard. Playing a game it tends to be at the TV/monitor and doesn't change much. When watching a movie the depth of focus changes constantly, as scenes and angles are stitched together. Your eyes are constantly having to move focus from close, to far, to mid, close, to far, over and over. Gives me eyestrain after 15 minutes, lol.

Thank you for reading my essay.

Because one thing I was missing in ESO was the ability to hurl techincolor yawn onto my keyboard.

Does this even work? I'm on console though.
