They made the gamma problem in Control:UE worse with a patch, but its a digital version so I'm just fucked unless I want to go out and buy physical, it was the PS Plus free version AND I already played it with perfect gamma on PC so I'm not too bothered in this case, but thats a bleeding-edge reminder of how crap digital can be.
"We fixed it!"
Its crushed shadows and brightness at 40 for me now to make it not be so washed out on my FALD LCD, but I have to accept that it looks like a reshade-retard-party a lot of the time. PS5 + OLED owners must be
pissed because the crushing will be worse and the black level is elevated even more now (Wioth PS5 set to SDR I mean, if you play in HDR is even shitter due to what the PS5 is doing to the SDR signal coming from the game).
edit - Poor PR people, I know its not their fault, but look how excited they were to tell us it was "fixed":
The screenshot they attached shows the problem wasn't looked at by the right people or there is no money to devote to fixing it. There was no such problem on PC (nor in XSX's version of Control:UE) and I don't know why they made this mistake/can't fix it. I think it has to do with the HDR on PS5, I know it sounds silly but I think they tested the game with the PS5 outputting HDR.
