FF7 is a glorious mess and is the most brisk of the 3 imo

any games yāall would recommend for wowing myself with shiny HDR? the easier to set up the better lol
devil may cry 5 looked really good in HDR oddly enough, that one stuck with me
I have an HDR projector but not an HDR monitor and my PS4 isnāt hooked up to the projector in a way that HDR works so I only very, very rarely play games in HDR, itās just when Iām playing PC stuff on the couch

The Ashina Estate (specifically the burning village section) in Sekiro has been my go-to demo

Gran Turismo Sport or 7 look incredible with headlights against the asphalt (Forza Horizon 5 is no slouch but it doesnāt go for realistic color grading so the effect is muted)
Shadow of the Tomb Raider is trash but the color presentation on the cave in the opening is outstanding
Resident Evil Village has a great cool look. 2 Remake looks excellent, too, though 3 seems a bit (a lot) oversaturated.
You can also start to play with injectable HDR. Windows 11 has an āauto HDRā feature, while Special K can add it to anything it can find the HDR buffer. Dragon Quest XI in HDR is absurd and astounding, just searingly bright. (speaking of which, the best/craziest animated HDR grade Iāve seen is the 4k release of Space Adventure Cobra, it simulated looking at the cels against a light table.)

pretty much every 2160p rip on rarbg (and there are a lot of them these days) has HDR, and this is by far, by far, my biggest use of it. I canāt imagine dealing with an equivalent physical media setup and itās very nice
whatās the optimal way to not get owned in doing that? my hygiene is rusty

a friendās plex has HDR spider verse and it looks extremely good on this television
oh yeah everyone is always talking about friendsā plex servers these days but Iām too controlling to not just immaculately maintain my own NAS volumes and exclusively expose them over SMB

this is my secret cheat, I mostly download stuff from friendsā plex servers directly
unless they live in Australia in which case I couldnāt take that bandwidth from them, that would be cruel and unusual

Iāll be honest, I know it was never as popular as the others, but I never ever understood why ā it always just seemed like the best one to me in terms of presentation, writing, pacing, challenge, etc

Iām the right combination of 80s millennial and OCD that if Iām looking at someone elseās server I would be too busy thinking āIām sorry, is this a reencoded scene rip?ā to enjoy it

Tactics RPGs have glacial pacing too and thatās your favorite genre, I imagine that has something to do with the difference in perspective

thatās usually a downside of those though, the good ones are generally much faster

HEVC saves gigabytes, also if youāre peeping at the metrics youāre not watching the movie
also speaking of this I couldnāt get your SMB thing to work remotely
