The Game looks so much better like this

[@ao.0ni]

I see the charm of it without the blue filter, but I definitely like the intensifying atmosphere it brings in the default rage art. The glow on background and the characters is emphasized overtly contrast to the blue filter, making their moves looks flashy and explosive. Maybe Jack is the worse example you could've used on this scenario as he brings tons of detailed explosion and crazy overexaggerated effects. The blue filter definitely help things highlight these things. But again, simplicity and at the same time, the immersion, lights up the entire scene without the blue filter. It makes the scene natural and rather more "realistic"? (Despite the fictive movements and effects). Short said: Blue filter = Focuses on the character's flashy and explosive moves. Without = The background blends in. Looks natural and immersive.

[@wingedsereph1322]

Well said. I think the filter should simply be an option to switch on or off.

[@incrediblastx3964]

its just like tekken 7 if there's no blue filter

[@foreveruseless1292]

[@nginroom8108]

Rage art looks less intense without the filter. I just noticed how the blue filter helps to keep the background out of focus and keep the focus on the action.

[@armoredking5107]

Bro cares about a rage art tbh😂

[@megaravanger]

​@@armoredking5107 it's part of the game lil bro 😂

[@KingJaeTV]

You not feeling the blue filter? I like it personally...

[@IAMOP]

Nah man I especially don't like it if you're practicing any combo with heat active The screen turns blue every time you reset I should have shown that in the video now that I think about it

[@twoshirts1842]

​@IAMOP yea I was practicing heat set ups with Paul's guard break with heat auto refilling. And it damn near made me seize.

[@tasimasoe8430]

​@IAMOP with how often you're gonna see someone activate Heat or a Rage Art, I can see how it can get a little jarring. But the filter does draw the focus towards the fighters and the action. Mortal Kombat has been doing it the whole time with fatalities and brutalities, whether intentional or not. Though, both are fine. An option to turn it off would be good in the accessibility options.

[@IAMOP]

@@tasimasoe8430 I played till MKX, iirc it used to make the background completely dark right, never really felt that uncomfortable with that

[@orelevato5664]

Blue filter is not healty for the eyes in the long run, respect for you

[@Xzilesenju]

It looks cleaner yes, but it looks like T7 without the crazy effects. And I'm fine with how it is.

[@danhonorem]

I honestly prefer with the filter on. I get the background details on these stages are impressive, but I find it distracting even though I never consciously pay attention to it while playing. The game is SOO busy visually, sonically, and gameplay-wise. It wears on you quickly.

[@seanabj]

I feel like the filter helps keep focus on the rage art, making it feel more intense

[@Fallconn2]

for me it’s like how in mortal kombat they blacken them background for a fatality. it sets the mood that some serious shit is about to happen

[@konstantdrachenfels5446]

It removes not only the blue filter, but also other lighting effects. Looks worse to me.

[@coldhardjayard5424]

the game looks a lil plain, but the blue is definitely too much. We need something a bit more subtle I think. Cool mod

[@RurouniiJay]

One of the rare times i would disagree. I like the filter

[@IAMOP]

that's fine man, I prefer without the filer, might be because I'm used to the T7 look

[@princegomenasai3943]

Removing it from Heat Burst looks so much better and doesnt break up the flow of the game as badly.

[@Ace-of-spade]

man it gives my eyes such an appeasing and comfortable feeling that feels i'm locked in. too bad you can't have this setting or mode on Consoles . especially when you're over 30's and wearing glasses. those flashing lights and blinking effects make your eyes teary after long sessions.

[@matitone]

They battlefield 3'd the game during rage arts

[@Allblaster]

I use this mod too, now if only I could remove all effects from Lidia so I can see what's going on 😂

[@byzon2good919]

this 100%

[@suto9233]

it looks like tekken 7 now

[@Jabermania]

Even though some of TEKKEN 7 action cameras making the atmosphere look like this crazy blue filter. Wish it was just a normal camera

[@__SunFlow__]

I think the blue filter is fine for heat, because heat has that blue effects But, yeah, Rage Arts look so much better without it

[@kprogatons]

Removing the filter feels like playing Tekken 7 all over again

[@IAMOP]

whoever came up with those filters needs to reevaluate the design imo The stages look so clean without it

[@jamieallover1587]

It's not like you cannot enjoy the clean look of the stages outside of heat/RA. Those are little cutscenes which cuts you away from the gameplay loop. It's perfectly fine, normal, expected even, to try and give them a more cinematic look. I won't advocate for whether or not it's executed properly but from a design standpoint trying to apply an effect on top of it is 100% a correct choice.

[@IAMOP]

@@jamieallover1587 don't have much of a problem with rage art, mainly the blue filter on heat Just trying to reset the practice mode with heat on is a treat to the eyes and ears lol

[@bilateriannewt4222]

Gonna download this filter ASAP Also looking for more mods like this that remove heat aura from character completely.

[@zaselimgamingvideos]

Actually RA background effects look better in Jin, Djin, Kazuua and Reina's RA. Without the effect they look simple specially Jin's RA. The background effects looks dramatic and cool in their RAs.

[@TanelM]

It looks like a bubble of hatred. You can see it as a bubble easily in the desert stage. What annoys me is that this bubble disappears for the first RA hit, which isn't cinematic, so it seem like it's visible only from the perspective of the one doing the RA. This doesn't make it more intense, it makes me think the character doing the RA is seeing hallucinations.

[@hoagieland3716]

I feel like it depends on the stage. Some stages have like nothing going on so the blue filter adds more of a dramatic effect. In others, it just blurs the background ruining the cinematic

[@popcatepic]

tekken 8 is just so clustered with effects and time freeze animations that a filter on top makes it look more busy than it actually is

[@llamabot9889]

Crazy how much the tekken fans will defend ANY critique on the game and shovel their wallets without hesitation

[@CabbageGarbage123]

People that like the blue yoke filter

[@LoveKing901]

Not every character needs a Domain Expansion

[@NeoZero85]

They should give customizable options to turn on and off this. Similar to customizing the sparks

[@Babunki2]

Yeah that’s so weird, even the animations look way more clean idk what it is lol

[@cmf1402]

I think if left on for kazuya, zafina and devil jin, the blue filter would fit. For the rest of the cast it doesn't really fit for me imo.

[@markas_kasuyademomanisresp6516]

tekken 8 Rage art need an option where u still can hear music

[@brandonspringfield2861]

I wish we could alter the color scheme tbh, like change it to orange, red, green so it would be more customizable.

[@since2133]

What we need is an option on the setting that allows us to make Rage Arts shorter!

[@MinaKamiXiV]

Yee the mod is goated I use it as well for a clearer clarity

[@marvelmedia]

The lighting the way it looked before is better

[@ExceedRed]

It's good if you don't want a potential lag spike but looking at it like this makes the moves feel less special and empahsized

[@mathiasprudhomme6495]

I very much agree, especially with heat engagers. Some rage arts could use something to make the characters pop out of the background, but blue for everyone is a missed opportunity imo

[@viniciuslessa3480]

I would love to have T8 without all these effects, just pure Tekken no light hits whatsoever

[@XIVDock]

At first I was scared to watch this thinking I’d have the same reaction comparing T7 Arcade vs T7FR, but then I saw it was pretty exclusively on heat and rage, and sighed in relief that I wasn’t going to be gaslit. The one thing I don’t have many complaints about in T8 is how it looks. If anything I’d be curious to see how the game looks without the additional hitspark and heat effects/clouds/etc.

[@Monkey_Tree]

Glad you like the mod OP. I guess its for us oldheads

[@IAMOP]

@@Monkey_Tree I'm surprised so many like the blue filter, I was getting a lot of comments against the partical effects prior to this

[@Monkey_Tree]

@@IAMOP i was very surprised as well. I clicked on your video to see the reception as i'm the one who commissioned the mod. People like different things frfr

[@umpteenthreason9627]

Nah, I like the emphatic effect it brings. If I had to be annoyed by something, it would be the sound effect used when you activate heat. I like bass, but that one is a bit much.

[@soulkong]

The reverse SF6 issue, I want the lighting during critical arts/character select to stay during gameplay

[@NinjaWarotMCph]

I can see why Imho, keep the rage art as is but the heat burst and practice reset blue filter be turned into a short flash instead

[@zetsuboukibou1975]

I prefer the filtered way because I've seen enough no filter rage arts in Tekken 7

[@Lead_Tragedy]

Ok, I passed up on the mod; now I actually wanna download it

[@GigGIty-fk2xx]

Filter looks better on the background and effects, removing it just makes only the characters look better

[@Yzaias15]

honestly kind of eye opening how much of a difference some filters and lighting do. that being said i think it should definitely be removed for heat bursts

[@Fizzy_faizaan]

IamOP if you ever get access to a completed Tekken 8 lighting mod that makes the game look just like the Reveal trailer. I'd be really happy to see it

[@sneikiusas]

I cant say that I like the blue filter much, but I like its intention I guess, if you remember like playing classic Resident Evil games whenever there was a cutscene black movie like bars appeared, and when you got control back it went full screen again, so its kind of like that, gives your brain brain short signal - blue filter = game goes into kind of a cutscene and you don't have the control, and when it disappears gameplay and control is back.

[@OffMeta-Gaming]

Without the filter it looks like Tekken 7 haha. But I kinda like it.

[@JoeNathan09]

Let's hope that Murray will not terminate you

[@andreaaaaaaa574]

That’s why i used to prefer Tekken 7 colors

[@DiabolicCrusher]

Probably a hot take but it looks kinda better with the filters/effects on heat/RA

[@CHEOL-qm8oe]

Blue filter is not the problem Downsizing of rageart's model scaling is the real problem

[@TheGianGame]

It would be nice to have the possibility to turn it down in the settings

[@YukkiRuiii]

Tbf i think the blue filter is only good if its used during a heat engager cuz like its kinda awkward and funny of someone having to do this whole "im going into super saiyan mode" animation then proceeding to be smacked in the face and die 😂😂😂

[@AllenJohn]

Holy Fuck Balls, that improved the performance of online matches drastically.

[@hoseinzadehminaee1799]

Respectively it's not even close Blue filter makes it so much more cool looking

[@unciervoenciervado]

Let games have art direction ffs

[@IAMOP]

You like that blue filter?

[@fastcow7013]

Yeah he's letting it have art direction he just doesn't like it

[@Someone_Somewhere7]

Tbh, if he can mod the game to customize it to his own liking, I don't see the problem.

[@stealthexecutor563]

Simplicity is also having "art direction".

[@CabbageGarbage123]

Let people choose ffs

[@shadowphil5887]

The rage arts with the blue Filter are definitely better

[@tmifb9926]

Yeah I'm with thr majority here the original filter makes it look better and less plain boring looking

[@ohpeep3723]

I swear tekken fans will find something to hate 24/7

[@LeiChaobruh]

No filter but better transition to the close up would be best imo

[@MackCasual]

Maybes its cause im close to 700 hours in this game and only see frames and electrics now but i truly cant tell the difference. Still looks flashy and dope regardless.

[@anerophqq2230]

Hwoarang's rage art is the coolest in the game.

[@k3kskuchen]

This should be a normal Setting in-game but then again so should be other general settings like hit effects, depth of field, anti aliasing and everything else normal games let you tweak.

[@RealKatTea]

I wonder how the game would look like with 0 effects, I don't want anime energy blast shit just give me martial arts back. Maybe hitsparks and blockstarks but nothing more than that. Is there a mod for that?

[@gillylambino1746]

Maybe they should have a different colour for each char? Or customisable? (Might stop there before bamco puts mtx for that)

[@MrCjosue24]

It does?

[@IAMOP]

It looks a bit more real like when jack gets the gun, it looks like it actually came from the environment

[@ReGHeo]

Idk if its just me, but i felt kinda off unable to focus Jacks Weapon, with a gray weapon vs a gray background(arena) tho

[@alexdano96]

Im not a fan of how many visual effects there are in tekken 8. This is based on preference tho. What i think would objectively be better is if the camera didn't do a close-up every time you use heat burst or hit a heat engager, because this happens too often in a match and it pauses the game everytime, making the game feel like a hybrid of a game and a cutscene (especially when rage arts are used too).

[@alexdano96]

PS: Adding effects on top of these scenes just makes them stand out even more from the actual gameplay, making you feel like you're completely out of the game for a moment, and I think that's not ideal for a fast paced game like tekken

[@Vospi]

I think that is a visual clue for new users about it being an uninterruptible cutscene. I wonder if you can change the hue btw? :) I'd love to have a cyan green instead of that ugly kazuya's ass type of color.

[@AloneIranKing]

I was saying this since the game came out that color pallet sucks in this game.

[@Jermainskee]

Looks like a ragedrive

[@dt_generalzod]

if you mean with the effects on, then yes, it does

[@afriking256]

People are making a big deal out of this non-issue. The filters look fine. The mod is alright but it aint something to have a news cycle about

[@aldb2989]

is there a mod that remove close ups ? i really hate those

[@byzon2good919]

need this too

[@purpleboy967]

i wonder how it will look on "domain expansion" rage arts

[@RuggeD_]

Personally think it looks a little too bland without the effects, but I can see the appeal of wanting it to be toned down.

[@Mr440c]

The game would be better off without any of that whatsoever.

[@maligno1612]

Too much better!

[@wannn6760]

How to remove the blue filter

[@3xeplodng_3agle_studios]

Doesn't look anywhere near as cinematic without the filter. Looks like pre-release test footage. Or like the "optimised" demo footage they used to play in stores. 😂

[@Crimsongz]

Nah I prefer with the filter but I removed all the blurry effect like film, dof, etc.

[@andrewstickadius4333]

Now try remove the Domain Expansion

[@tee_saw]

The filters do look weird sometimes

[@pretzels7437]

For everything this game does wrong, the least they could do is show us a moonlight wilderness stage in these graphics. I don't think you can get anything more iconic than that.

[@Boultify]

That's why community says "Tekken should be simple and skill based", not bunch off 50/50s and offense.

[@melvinshine9841]

I'll politely disagree on that. I like the filter.

[@nikkovertucio1122]

Is there a mod that removes the underground arena red tint instead? It's too dark

[@Fizzy_faizaan]

It looks wrong on Hwoarangs rage art

[@bkrcovers2906]

Is it looks realistic without it? Maybe. Is realism the point? No, rage arts are threated like events. It's the least interactive portion in the game, devs knew they are no longer burdened by keeping everything "clean" so they all go balls out. Time stops, music muffles, background blurs and all lights are on you or your opponent. It's pure hype. It also comunicates to spectators that what they're seeing is not gameplay. Tekken 8 has many flaws but presentation is not one of them.

[@miguelt727]

They took it out the filter?

[@ishoto]

just looks like tekken 7 without it lol

[@AgentK2K84]

Are this a mod or a console upgrade? I prefer the original version.
