Ah I see. That's a bummer. I hoped for soemthing like Horizon. :(
So this like photomode settings but for TOD and weather for the game.
Are you asking why it exists in games or in general with film stock?

Film grain or noise increases perceived detail and sharpness. I remember reading an article about it years ago that went into detail about why that is but I can't find it right now.
Throws shade at devs, questions their decisions even though they have significantly more knowledge than he does, accuses them of not being upfront about the current state of an in-progress product and then calls them "one of his favourite developers."
Madness.
ON TOPIC:
I really wish I had a proper 4K HDR set for this game, but alas. The Samsung CHG70 is going to have to do.
I bought a 4k hdr monitor last week in preparation for Spidey :p
Obviously I wanted it for films and other games too, but Spidey tipped me over the edge.
I'm very sure it said that grain is inherent from content shot on film while noise is part of digital images in poor conditions.
You are right about it being part of perceived detail of the image or you get travesties like this when you remove it:

I couldn't justify the $2K. Didn't have the space for a proper sized tele either. Hoping monitor manufactures get their shit together in regards to 4K HDR.
Film grain in some instances when used lightly can lend a bit of noise to the picture that makes it seem more detailed I guess. At any rate it's nice to have options. Glad this was mostly an upgrade too, so the crazy people can go away.
I absolutely adore film grain. Mass Effect looked amazing to me because of it. It lends a dreamy, through the lens quality. That said, it is always good have options to turn them off for those who do not share the same tastes.
I always let film grain on, but I just honestly don't understand the appeal of Chromatic Aberration. Like, seriously, I want someone to explain it to me.
I just don't see what we get in return for the loss in clarity.
For example, TAA will generally blur the image quite a bit, reducing clarity, but in exchange for that you get a much more temporally stable image, effectively combating, or even removing, shimmering from the screen. If you have the hardware to downsample the game, you can even make up for the loss in clarity, and you get the best of both worlds.
Screen Space Motion Blur will naturally lose A LOT of clarity on any given frame, but in exchange for that you get the benefit of having smooth camera pans even at the low framerate of 30, unlike the juddery mess you get without any kind of blur.
Chromatic Aberration reduces clarity in exchange for... what? A poor vignetting effect at best, when it's only applied to the corners of the screen? Eew.

Thats something I agree. I never being a fan of chromatic aberration. Both Doom 2016 and Darksiders looks terrible using this.
Thank god I can disable.
Very pleased with this, I turn off the motion blur and filmgrain whenever possible. Just finished downloading the game to my PS4 too, now I just have to wait until midnight to friday.
Not sure what chromatic aberration is though, I have to look that up.

This game has one of the best implementations of motion blur, all motion will look better if you keep it on.
yeah, I would definitely play for a bit with all our effects turned on before turning anything off. Lots of time and effort went into those implementations
This is good advice people.

The actual screenshot comparison most people were talking about turns out to indeed be downgraded since E3 whatever the reason.
This video was incredible, John. I loved the editing and it was just all very well done. If Rich is reading John deserves a pay rise especially considering he does the Retro ones out of passion!!
The game looks phenomenal overall. Really excited to play it!
ok yeah I might have to do a NG+ playthrough just with this suitthe lighting on the homecoming suit is insane, it looks just like the movie:
Film grain is there to have a movie-like feel or style.
It has something to do with film stock or type used in old (analogue) cameras.
It's because they don't sleep.
Great work! Love your videos! This game is going to nuts!
I'll see myself out now... Lol

I love motion blur.
God, this game is gonna make me want to buy all the suits just to see how good they look rendered in the engine, just like with Batman Arkham Knight.
