But this one does not look that good. Too much glow.

Is that water tank evil or why does it have a black aura? Is that too much SSAO or a limitation of it? Or something else entirely?
have you seen the console screen shot from this same location it has x20 more bloom Laughing

Yes, it's the SSAO. It's as much curse as it is a blessing. While it can help in some cases, making a scene look better, it can make things look hilariously bad (as in your case). It is mostly due to the fact that it is not context sensitive - it is applied equally on the entire screen.
I usually have SSAO turned off. I find it to create very ugly artifacts.

I dig SSAO, I find the glow a tolerable compromise in order to create that cinematic realism it tends to give. Used to play around with it in Crysis to improve the look of the stock game.

You quoted me wrong there, Leo Wink

well knew it, it does like SSAO's work. Damn, thought this was the answer to everything, oh well. Really helps making things look less like a foto collage.
Whats the alternative, more precise shadow and shading calculations which aren't feasible (yet) ?

SSAO is a fast approximation of the ambient occlusion algorithm, which by itself is a simple and "cheap" global illumination implementation. Smile

Wasn't that feature (Health regenerates automatically now.) shown in a earlier preview or discussion a while ago?
(Thus it shouldn't be surprising though then again the thread does move fast at times so some pages get a bit buried, heh.)

Yeah haven't really followed the news/promo content that much - when it comes to story-heavy games like Mafia, I want to keep things as fresh as possible. And I can live with health regen, tho I have some fond memories of the first game, where I had to retry certain parts of missions several times to beat them since I had only low hp and few bullets on some crappy revolver.
