The Detroit: Become Human soundtrack is my pick. An absolutely fantastic score featuring 3 different main composers. It may have been a preorder bonus but there's an additional soundtrack download on the PSN store that lets you easily save the lengthy soundtrack to a USB stick as nice 320k MP3 files. Was surprised and thrilled to see Drew, Alexis, and Ian play through the full game on their Extra Life stream.
I have an X-rite i1Display Pro that lets you automatically calibrate your PC/Mac monitors and can also be used to calibrate a TV, if you're willing to learn the process. It requires some open source software, a calibration disc, and a tripod but the results are well worth it. I now no longer feel the need to tweak my TV settings or have that nagging feeling something might not be set correctly.
Software I used was ColorHCFR. I don't remember the exact guide I used but you can search for some. Here is an article I found about the general process.
@ibmer: Definitely check out God of War as the best example of mind-blowing HDR, in particular the extreme colors and light shafts in the Alfeim area. And of course the Blu-ray version of Planet Earth II. The latest Star Trek movie is also extremely good visually.
If you're like me, there is something about the HDR in RDR2 that just doesn't seem right when compared to other games. It just doesn't "pop" like it should and it's a real shame. There's been some expert analysis done and the conclusion is that you should play the game in SDR to get proper contrast, shadows, etc. I hope Rockstar will be able to patch this problem soon.
Here's a good video explaining the problem on Xbox One X. I expect the same problem exists on PS4 Pro.
I have a 240hz G-sync and a 60hz 4K monitor and have no problems at all. Both are using DisplayPort so I can’t speak to HDMI though. I sometimes have a Twitch stream on while playing Overwatch and it doesn’t cause any issues.
@confideration: Good call, he's hilarious. Within the first hour he managed to get trapped by buggy doors in not one but two buildings, never gave up and found the right console command to escape in low-gravity mode. 10/10
This game is actually not very streamer friendly, throwing up those tutorial screens full of text and arrows pointing every which way. Guy is a pro for powering through it.
I need a full Vinny playthrough of this game STAT! Politics aside, this game is legit amazing and took most of us completely by surprise. It deserves some coverage.
