Fair enough. The real issue is when you play in HDR (via inverse tonemapping) on an OLED. It’s just missing sooooo much shadow detail. It’s a well known issue that they never fixed and probably will never fix unfortunately. I’ve been experimenting with ways to recover the shadow detail using reshade add-ons, but so far no luck :-(.
If you take a screenshot in horizons and then take the same screenshot in odyssey, you’ll see that blacks are crushed to absolute shit in odyssey. You can even raise gamma to max and you still will not recover that shadow detail. The devs clipped it. They tonemapped the game incorrectly. It becomes blatantly obvious when you play this game on an oled screen haha.
I.e., take screenshot in horizons where tjere is a large shadow or no light hitting a part of your ship. Replicate it in Odyssey. It’ll be obvious. Or try raising gamma to max and you’ll see that zero shadow detail is recovered.
Also idk if you’re familiar with reshade, but if you google and install Lilium’s HDR shaders, it makes it even easier to see how crushed shadows are. It shows you a waveform visual that maps brightness. (Graph works in sdr as well as hdr)
Did they fix the absurd black crush in Odyssey?

Is it just me or does this article just run on and on without actually proving whatsoever that these jobs were lost to AI?
They even acknowledge that these layoffs are mainly due to over-hiring during the pandemic. I see no concrete proof that AI had anything to do with this. Just speculation.
Does anyone else agree? Perhaps I missed something?
This game was great and had an absolutely amazing and emotional story. It was so unique and interesting. No idea why people criticize it. I’m not even gonna read the polygon article. Game was good af. Idc what anyone else says.
I really don’t believe they are actively developing another headset. I think thelat at one point they may have filed a patent for a design, but I really wouldn’t bank on this. Still more likely than Half Life 3 though.
Fyi on PCVR, this headset will NOT have HDR, Eye tracking, and other features. Kind of an important call out…
It’s outspeced by any headset made in the past few years…i.e. missing oled screen. No pancake lenses.
edit: spelling
Huh? As much as i don’t like standalone headsets, all of the current standalone headsets easily vastly outspec the index…you should look at the specs…
I.e. index is missing:
oled screen
pancake lenses
eye tracking
Most of the newer headsets have this and are cheaper than the index…
The fact that the grossly outdated (spec wise) valve index is still $1k, 4 years after release, is fucking outrageous. That thing should be like at least half the price by now. Valve is out of their minds…
Zzzzzzzzzz
The show isn’t that bad but it’s also definitely not as good as the people here are making it sound. The copium levels in this thread are off the charts. The show is mediocre. That’s all there is to it. Stop over thinking it
Exactly.
