Re: Explaining HUD LUV
Posted By: uberfoop	Date: 6/10/12 6:58 a.m.
In Response To: Explaining HUD LUV (nillapuddin) : theres also no doubt in my mind that other people read your posts and : completely agree with you beyond the shadow of a doubt, they want that out : of body experience That's not the argument of the people who disagree with you. At all. We don't like clean HUDs because it's an "out of body experience." We like clean HUDs because they don't unnaturally get in the way. Now, I know I'm a bit of an outlier on the following issue, but bear with me here: You know how Halo 2 introduced the ability to see your legs? I hate Halo 2's implimentation of that. Why? It's not because seeing legs in unnatural; it's because having your vision blocked by them and desperately whipping your head around to try and fix the issue is unnatural. Realistically, my legs would be very unconsciously moved to not block my view. They would be there, but I wouldn't notice them. There would be no conscious concentration necessary to deal with the issue. Hence, Halo 1 actually seems much more natural and smooth in that respect to me. Thankfully, the newer games are a lot better with how the legs move, but the point stands. Visor lines don't suffer from the exact same issues, but they can have similar effect; I usually don't notice Halo 3's lines, but when they do call attention to themselves, it's jarring. In that case, it's probably because the lines are so ridiculously unnatural; they're an obstruction that doesn't exist or move by any sort of physical logic that could ever make any sense (unless they're being shot directly onto my vision, which would be rather weird and also wouldn't make sense). //======== Now, these possible issues might not arise. While discussions have been focusing on raw screen-space issues, I'm still holding out hope that the visor imagery not being half-baked and actually attempting to make sense this time will help my brain recognize it as an appropriate thing rather than something to try to ignore. It might, it might not. This sort of psycology is a hard thing to predict; you usually have to take a good stab at it to know for sure.
