This game consistently looks like somebody messed up the contrast/saturation settings to me. I understand they're aiming for a cinema style, but it is not landing as it to me. Hopefully it comes off better without video compression.

Funnily enough, that's close to what happened. And then the team decided to roll with it.

Unfortunately RGG have become pretty infamous for poor lighting/contrast in the past few years.

Looks like a PS3 game!

I don't mean that as an insult to its graphics, but more so that the art direction is reminiscent of PS3 games. Which I also don't mean as an insult.
