[QUOTE="spoonman, post: 38143, member: 382"] I think they are purposely dimming the ambient light on the table to make it more apparent when the lighted targets are lit, but I agree they go to far and it makes the whole thing look bland. It's bee mentioned in here quite a lot and to be honest I'm really surprised no one from Farsight has commented on weather they plan on improving it. Actually, now that I think about it Mike may have spoke about the upcoming day/night slider on one of the threads regarding this, but I'm not positive. With the exception of a couple tables, Gorgar comes to mind, they are need better color saturation and they need to be much brighter, but not just a gamma adjustment either. I posted this a while back, but even just a slight curves adjustment in Photoshop gives you a slightly improved picture [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/spoonmanx/NintendoAge/Comparison_BlackKnight.jpg[/IMG] This isn't anything new though. This is months now and not a single improvement makes me worried that Farsight is OK with the dull, muddied look. I know they are devoted to making these the best they can so I'm starting to wonder if either their Dev system isn't set to "Full RGB" or their displays are not up to spec because something is going on here. :( I can't speak for the 360 version because I haven't played it, but if you search around the forums for people's thoughts on the newer tables you will see these adjectives: "[B][COLOR="#FF0000"][SIZE=4][FONT=Arial Narrow]muddied[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR], [COLOR="#008000"][SIZE=4][FONT=Fixedsys]muted[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR], [SIZE=4][COLOR="#800080"][FONT=Garamond]washed out[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE], [FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode][SIZE=4][COLOR="#FF8C00"]dark[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT], [FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=4][COLOR="#0000CD"]weird[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT], [COLOR="#B22222"][SIZE=4][FONT=Arial Black]undersaturated[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR], [SIZE=4][COLOR="#008080"][SIZE=4][FONT=Impact]Dull[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] And keep in mind, these are not the FB haters.. These are their core fans, me included, and it's sad to see this when these tables should pop off the screen. So please Farsight, improve the colors and lighting before you release more like this.
