People that set the logo to ‘barely visible’ are psychopaths

Yeah I find most games too dark in general. I always adjust the brightness slightly above the supposed "ideal" level.

I play in a brightly lit room most of the time though, so that makes sense. I think they assume you are playing the game in pitch black darkness or something, setting it at the "ideal" level you often times can't see shite.

The most notorious "dark" game of all time is probably Doom 64 on the original N64. It was border line unplayable. You had to turnt he in game brightness to the max and also up the brightness on your TV set itself to a very high level to even begin to see a little bit.

The re-release a few years ago they thankfully fixed this issue.

I think the developer usually has a specific vision in mind when they set those parameters.

With a horror game, I think darkness or ambiguity regarding your surroundings is part of the appeal.

I doubt that Capcom wanted you to view that smorgasbord of viscera in full 4k.

I much prefer the 1st picture

I think developers clearly use better TVs than mine, in perfect gaming conditions with perfect room lighting, so they can actually see at their designed lower brightness levels

4k OLED ftw

I generally do what they say, then bump it one notch brighter. I find that to be a fair balance.

100%, this is the way to do it correctly.
