Just logged into PS4 ESO before work to quickly do my mounts... the colours seem to have changed and appear very bright and over saturated. Anyone else noticing that?

✭phew, looks terrible. Messing about with my tv settings. Colours are so over saturated, makes the game look terrible. Trying to find a balance. WTF happened to PS4 ESO?2 -
o_0✭✭✭✭They reverted a change they made a while back that had unintentional consequences. What you see is how eso looked for the majority of its console life and how the majority of players prefer it as it was reverted due to player feedback.Edited by o_0 on October 4, 2018 6:26AM1 -

Really? I've been playing since PS4 launch, I don't ever remember it looking like this. I am a retired graphic artist and am very up on colours, this looks disgustingly terrible. Have to go to work now, but couldn't find a way to adjust it to anything that looks good.
ALL colours are extremely over-saturated. And contrast is overly dark in shadows. I'll have to play with tv settings when I get back, but this looks absolutely terrible compared to how it looked a couple days ago.Edited by MacCait on October 4, 2018 6:29AM4 -

The HDR implementation IS TERRIBLE, sadly the vanilla game on PC is even worse it is Gray ASF ( the console players can boost the colors from the TV`s), however this is where the Custom shaders,overlays come in hand for PC player and they can transform the ugly vanilla to beautiful masterpiece

✭✭✭✭✭The colours now are how they have been all year, awesome.
They meddled with HDR to try to reduce saturation and broke it with Wolfhunter. And now have reverted it whilst they work on a happy medium.
It's looked appalling the last month, if you have a decent setup.
Honnestly I'm surprised you guys missed the 15,000 view threads on this right after Wolfhunter.

You’re not the only one. I too have the same issue. Before the changes that they made last patch the game was overly colourful, the changes last patch made it look more relastic and now the colours look worse than before.
My TV is one of the newer Samsung 4K HDR ones.
All other games look awesome, this now looks like a cartoon.PS4/EU

Fairly decent mid range...1
Everyone else seems to like the cartoon over saturated look.
