Next Battlefield 3 Patch will [NOT] Include Color Grading OFF Option!

[DeltaHawk5]

Hello,

Mikael Kalms, one of DICE's Senior Programmers, has just annouced that the next Battlefield 3 Client Patch will include a command console option to disable color grading. The quote announcement can be found below, with a link to the original post.

There will be a console command for disabling the color grading entirely in the game included with the next PC game client update.
We believe that turning it off gives no major competitive advantage/disadvantage.
IRNV scope and a few others which turn the image into greyscale or greenscale don't work properly without color grading and will look real ugly.
There will be no in-game UI for turning it on/off.
We are unlikely to handle support questions and bug reports regarding stuff that happens when color grading is disabled.

As for server settings: we are not currently planning to implement any new ones.

After discussing this further with my hierarchy, they have decided to not implement this feature. This is the studio’s take on this matter, and after being warned I 've been forced to tell you the decision:

"As a studio, it is extremely important for us at DICE to have a unique identity in our games, not only from a gameplay perspective, but visually as well. While we appreciate that some players might want a slightly different look to the game, we are proud of the visual identity of Battlefield 3 and do not wish to change it."

I apologize for getting anybody’s hopes up, and if you have any further questions on this subject, I will refer back to the above statement.

This is like those day after pills... Too late cousin.

That's pretty cool =) does anyone know what the IRNV and other IR stuff look like without colour grading? =)

quite normal as both IRNV and FLIR are based on CC, so disabling them makes those optics without any difference between others.

scratch that, there's quite high possibility that it'll look like this.

I want it in options, not as console command. I want this on consoles...

I'm shocked.Honestly! Never thought DICE would allow us to enjoy colours...

[xXJon2011Xx]

So we got the game to not look like shit, can we get them to make it not play like shit?

No, way too many nails to remove on that one.

One battle at a time. Of course I do warn DICE that because they given us this to not expect the consumer base to stop criticizing their game. Many issues still lay dormant we are just consumers wanting the game to be best it could possibly be and of course worthy of the title of Battlefield.

I was thinking the same thing as the second reply:

still would have to use tweaker to adjust coleurs and saturation

[-DrManhatten-]

Bullshit, Where the option for consoles?

Double Whammy Victory, as it's a refreshing change to see a decent guy at DICE!

[Camo65]

Well slap me silly and call me Sally.

I am fucking astounded that they have finally done something constructive and that the community ask for.

Now about that god awful suppression Mr Kalms.

[yiyeyigit]

Aww yeah, finally!

Is Mordor victorious?

A tainted victory. We get what we wanted but dice still can't be bothered doing it properly.
