Atari and Eden studios today announced that Alone In The Dark 5 will be released on PC too. They also sent us these two images, probably from the PC version.
When you're looking at something far, the close objects blur.

This has done a mixture of both for some reason. :S
It almost looks like tilt-shift photography which is used to make things look like models, but in this case it just looks terribly wrong!
Simon: I'm looking forward to it aswell but I wonder how much effort will go into this game after Uwe Boll totally obliterated the franchise with his movie.
Looks pretty good so far, I'm sure there are still lots of fans of AITD even after the movie, I mean look at RE4.. even though its movie counterparts didn't suck as bad.
It's called Depth of Field, used a lot by professional photographers. ie. you look at a fixed object, which is then perfectly in focus, then the further away or the closer to you, the more blur. LOL ;O)
We notice. But the way they did it in this picture isn't right.
The eagle closest should be in focus.
Not if the middle eagle is fixed in focus AFAIK. If you use a cam and focus (fixed focus, not auto!) an object, and then move the cam half behind a very nearer object, you get exactly the same effect with the near object and the far away scene both blurry.
yeah the DOF effect looks correct. the closest eagle would be blurred if the other one is meant to be focused. Ninety-Nine Nights uses this effect as well, though it's not as obvious in some of the screenshots. it was obvious in the demo i played though.

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)

By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)

Commented on 2006-04-12 12:33:20You see a ton of that kind of blurring in modern motion pictures and photography, you just don't notice it.

Commented on 2006-04-12 14:12:31This looks good..kinda brings back the feeling of resident evil back in the days..(resident evil 2) except with next gen visuals!
That would rock though
