The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Chromatic Aberration Can be Turned Off

Chromatic aberration is a visual filter that blurs the edges of your screen producing a lens flare like event. CD Projekt RED, have confirmed that the filter can be turned off in The Witcher 3. Most are not fans of the item effect, and in recent games like Dying Light and Lords of the Fallen, the majority turns the effect off. In some cases though, when used in moderation it's not that bad.

As CD Projekt Red'due south GingerEffect wrote on the official forums:

"In that location is a toggle for Chromatic Abnormality in PC Settings."

Hither are some of the responses in The Witcher 3 forums

its then subtle that i dont even intendance

lol, i'm in the aforementioned boat. I wouldn't even discover it if people didn't mentioned it

i dear chromatic aberration, i retrieve every game should take it

Continue in mind that simply because yous personally don't notice it or enjoy chromatic abnormality doesn't mean it'southward equal for anyone else and if there'south people who honestly are feeling concrete sick (equally addressed by the OP) when playing games that have it, then information technology is an outcome that should exist dealt with.

I personally can't play first person shooter unless there'due south enough FOV without feeling ill then I tin can definitely sympathise the concern that some players would want an option to toggle this feature off. In terms of the video posted by: amfibiya89 where a developer/artist-designer talked about it, I think the mention that "This is a video game" summarize the betoken best as it'southward non a matter of creating a "cinematic/movie-like" feel in a video game, which should be quite obvious today based on all the "cinematic feel" bullshit that has flown effectually on the internet.

Overall features are a adept thing, but information technology should be up to the consumer to exist able to modify these features as them, themselves see fit. Later on all no one should get punished by an unpleasant experience because developer can't be arsed to account for concrete differences (like this, movement sickness, colour-blindness, people with visual problems where scalable UI would solve it etc.) their customers might have.
