Goes to TV sharpness settings and screen mode. Activates ‘Hollywood’ and turns sharpness down.

Game looks bad.

Goes to TV settings and screen mode, activates ‘Game’ mode and turns sharpness up.

Game still looks bad.

Default TV settings enabled.

Game still looks bad.

Gives up, but carries on playing. An hour later picks up remote, goes to TV settings.............

I think on the Playstation the aliasing & level of anisotropic filtering is the biggest issue giving these butt phasing shadows. Perhaps the colour palette level does not support a deep enough gamut to provide a beautiful ombre. Instead there’s steps....

Anyone remember Mipmaps?!?!

How about some inca style wool (ok, not as catchy a term as EBL, but I couldn't come up with anything witty). Anyway, came across this neat little glitch some time ago near Great Annihilator. Hadn't seen it before and haven't seen it since.

So I learned something new. Dancing Disco Shadows is not a PS4-only phenomenon! Much to my surprise it is alive and well on PC. Low-quality shadows are HORRENDOUS on PC, and medium shadows aren't much better. Thankfully I've got ultra shadows now, but I always assumed shadows were bugged specifically on PS4. They are not. Whoever coded the low quality shadows and thought they would be acceptable must be smoking pot. I'd rather have no shadows that those!

I don't yet own a Dolphin in my new save, but once I do, I'll experiment and see if Elephant Butt Leather is also a thing on PC.

It is.

The game fundamentally works the same way across all versions, PC just has different settings available with different shadow cascade tables.

Thanks for the update Old Duck, how interesting. So fundamentally we all have exactly the same issues, just at different levels.

Be interesting to read your further impressions once you dig deeper on PC.

Commander earthtone99 out.
