Motion blur.

Has there been any sort of confirmation as to whether it is back or whether it has been reduced from the awful amounts in Reach or anything like that?

I’m finding it really hard to tell from the videos. Some of the IGN videos look as though it is back and just as bad as it was in Reach but in other videos it isn’t noticeable.

At least the film grain effect seems to be gone, though.

If it is back, option to reduce it/turn it off pl0x.

It’s either gone or severely decreased, I liked it, I wish there was a tiny bit left.

The motion Blur in Reach wasn’t even proper Motion Blur.

There was motion blur in Reach…?

> There was motion blur in Reach…?

It was often unbearable in Reach. Gave a lot of people headaches and some people motion sickness.

Have those people never watched a film?

I don’t think my TV was HD enough to notice.

I didn’t even notice the motion blur in Reach.

I’m not sure if motion blur will be in Halo 4. It might be, but if it is I expect it to be minimal. (If it makes people sick well…)

Motion blur is more of a result of your TV and your set up. Get a plasma or a lcd/led with 240hz and a low response time. Well the response time won’t help with blur but it will with game play.

You can’t really compare it to a film; a film isn’t in first person, and in a game you tend to move more.

In Reach the screen blurred excessively every time you turned left or right. If you were walking near a wall the entire wall texture became blurry. Simply walking would make your gun go blurry (most noticeable with the AR) from the little side-to-side gun movements.

Maybe but it was a fairly common issue people brought up back on the b.net forums; it also hasn’t been an issue with any other games, either.

Look at this Ragnarok flythrough from IGN http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEIB2txWyeo

Jump to 1 minute in and the motion blur is clearly visible when they take a turn to the left after looking at the banshee. The amount of blur looks even worse than Reach to me. I really hope we get an option to toggle it off.

That’s because its some kind of spectator mode/theater mode

That’s exactly what I mean. Pause the video during any sort of reasonably fast movement and the game is a blurry mess.

Here’s an example of it from the Reach beta. The ‘ghosting’ was reduced in the final version but the blur remained largely unchanged.

Screenshot example, mainly on the left side of the screen. Beta again but the blur was practically the same in retail.

You obbviously don’t know what Motion Blur is, there is none there.

There are TONS of factors that go into Motion Blur.

Sometimes capture cards can cause it if either the card, video card, or processor can’t handle it. Sometimes the monitor cannot handle the refresh rate. Then again, sometimes it’s the game itself.

All we can do is make sure you have a high-quality monitor using high definition cables (VGA > HDMI > Component > S-Video > Composite), and then hoping for the best.

Does the little blur while reloading count as motion blur? Because I liked that.

This is because most people don’t have a system that’s really set up for gaming. Motion blur isn’t coming from the Xbox. it’s your tv. LED/LCD are going to have blur unless they are a high end tv. The larger they are the worse it gets. Now a days people play on large lcd/leds through hdmi. There’s a reason the pros play on CRT tvs.

Again, it’s your tv people. If you want to get rid of motion blur you are going to have to pony up and buy a better tv. If it’s in the 20 - 32" range you can probably get away with a 120hz. Maybe. Any thing above that you really need 240 or better. Plasmas are really the way to go for gaming if you don’t want a crt. I don’t even think you can find hd crts now.

Why it is only Halo: Reach that has that problem with me?

Didn’t give me motion sickness, but it was really annoying and pointless.

I am a huge movie buff but Reach’s gameplay did give me headaches at times.

The Motion Blur in Reach was kinda like the Lens Flares in Mass Effect. Too damn much.

It’s not. That’s just what the Halo community perceives.
