 The videos of the Normandy docking at the citadel/flying into omega or what have you, are all very blurry. Anyone else notice this? I wonder what was wrong with making them use the in game engine like ME1...

Haven't seen it at all.

Must be you.

I've barely noticed this as well. I say 'barely' 'cause I only have a 19" screen and it doesn't really stand out on that, unless you look for it.

The movies are rendered in 1280x720, and they don't look blurry to me.

I'm playing at a 16/9 Resolution, they're grainy and blurry as hell, I can't imagine what they look like on a TV.

The videos are machinima, video-capture.



So they are rendered at a lower resolution than what you're playing at (if you're playing at higher than 720p).

They would look just fine if the TV is lower than 1080p resolution.

I'm on a 24" widescreen @ 1900 x 1200 and those cut scenes are quite blurry and grainy.

I agree. Playing at 168x1050. They're compressed video and that's no good.



It's especially jarring when you go from a real time cutscene, which at your resolution using the models you play with which are as crisp as your machine allows, to the pre-rendered. low-res [blurry] compressed videos.



With the hardware requirements for most games, you would think they could AT LEAST ease off on the compression. It breaks the immersion going from blurry to crisp like that.

If you look at the file names for the cutscenes it says they're at 720p...or 1280x720.

I play on 1920x1200 so I see a huge difference. I have tried playing ME2 on 720 during the cinematics for the difference it's sucks that Final Fantasy is supposed to use 1080p cutscenes and ME2 doesn't.



It's also very grainy, I hate grain in my cinematics.

Agreed. 
Lets not even get started about the horrible new holograms.

I haven't noticed that. What I have noticed is horrible aliasing on NPC outfits throughout the game during close ups. I don't remember that from ME1 but I may have forgotten.

ME1 was much worse by far with texture quality and that sort of thing.

yeah I noticed, but at least I don't have to wait for the sound to catch up with an in-engine cut-scene like in ME1, man that was annoying. Honestly it doesn't bother me a great deal.

They should have made the cutscenes in 1080p instead of 720p
Not that it bothers me that much though.

Seriously the holograms in ME1 looks great. Is it that hard to add color to them? They're incredibly jagged even when I put AA and I don't really think I should suffer such a performance hit for something that looks good in the first game.

It's probably a storage budget issue. If they recorded all the videos in 1080p it would take up a lot more space than what they're doing now, and it would be harder to fit it on the disk.



But still, I play 1920x1200 and it's pretty darn bad. Embarrassing almost.

Yup... the cuscene videos not shot in engine are much poorer in quality than the rest of the game. I noticed this the second the Normandy fell out of FTL during the first mission.

Could you guys do a screenshot of how this looks to you? for the benefit of those (ie me) who can't run such preposterous resolutions? :D

I've played both on my widescreen 24'' Full HD monitor and my 42'' Full HD TV and the "blur" and "grain" that you complain about are just the "field of view" graphic effect (which adds lights blooming and the life-like field of view effect) and "film grain" which (for the game, I don't know if it affects also cinematics) can just be turned off in the game options.

You're talking about something else. He's talking about the prerendered cutscenes, not the film grain and depth of field in engine.

If you want to know what we're talking about, those of you who are running at lower resolutions, just take a screenshot during one of the cutscenes and use a photo editor to enlarge it to 1920x1200. All the artifacting will be magnified and everything will be blurrier.
