Forspoken - HDR Optimized Settings
🕑 Added 2022-12-11 11:00:18 +0000 UTC
The game DOES USE/APPLY Playstation HDR Calibration app settings.
The game on paper has a good HDR implementation as it actually reads and applies the system-level HDR Calibration settings (up to 10.000 nits) but in reality, it applies them wrong.
Peak HDR Luminance will be in fact always much higher than what you've (correctly) setup in the system, coupled with the (correct) TV settings, which will result in severely clipped highlights and burned whites.
An easy fix to this is to disable both HGIG and DTM entirely, which will "dim" the overly bright Peak Luminance of the game to an acceptable level:
This may not work on different TVs than LG OLEDs tho.
If that's the case for you, you could also lower the Playstation system HDR Calibration app clicks for brightness screens by 4-5 clicks compared to what you have set and relaunch the game (just remember to set it back correctly for other games).

Just lower the in-game brightness to your liking and leave the rest as is.

Hey dude any brightness recommendations for the c2? I'm using DTM at brightness 0.7

Thanks!

The new in-game settings are still not altering Peak HDR Luminance (which still relies on system-level HDR Calibration app...from which it still applies its values wrong), but you can turn down the new in-game Brightness slider to lower gamma to your liking instead of turning off DTM/HGIG entirely. Leave the other two settings alone.

This game got an update early March, it now has an adjustment screen on startup. It’d be cool to hear your recommendations for this one
