Great read. Curious that he didn't bring up Alan Wake 2, I felt like that was an absolutely amazing looking game. Though I'm no HDR expert so maybe I'm not seeing something.

Because it’s an article from 2017.
That... makes a lot of sense.
Thanks, this was a real interesting read!
Yeah, I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this series. Thanks for sharing OP !
Considering this post is actually 8 years old with no follow-up and the newest post is 6 years old... I wouldn't count on it.
In general, while some games still get HDR wrong, I'd read this article more as a time capsule from an age when HDR in gaming was still in its infancy.
Yeah I saw that this morning when I tried to find the next article. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Meanwhile, Shadow Warrior 2 with HRD looks amazing IF you raise the brightness a bit and lower the contrast (5-10% each would do it).
Best visuals I ever saw, even with how old the game is.
SW2? Star Wars 2? Sword World 2? Samurai Warriors 2?
Horizon Rero Dawn
