Astro Bot - HDR Optimized Settings
Added 2024-09-06 08:31:45 +0000 UTC
The game DOES USE/APPLY Playstation HDR Calibration app settings.
The HDR implementation of this game could be better as, even if it does support/apply system level calibration correctly and still has true blacks in loading screens, the "creator intent" during gameplay is having a "washed out" look with noticeably elevated black levels with no working in-game settings to fix it...

The only HDR setting the game provides lets you change the HDR type from "Default" to "Bright" and vice versa.
Use "Bright" in order to have the picture a bit more impactful.
Then the only way to reduce the washed out look is to adjust Fine Tune Dark Areas to something around -10 (just remember to set it where it was before for other games) otherwise don't change it if you want to preserve the original "creators intent".
Enjoy ;)

2024-09-08 05:16:46 +0000 UTCI wasn't expecting such bad HDR implementation since the ASTRO playroom has phenomenal HDRπ’

2024-09-07 16:05:42 +0000 UTCThank you very much for this! When I started the game early this morning, I wasnβt sure which setting to pick, but I did notice it looks very washed out. Itβs honestly incredibly disappointing, given that Astroβs Playroom had no such HDR settings, used the system values, and looked great.
